Qualifying for the UAE Golden Visa Through Property

The UAE’s Golden Visa programme grants a ten-year renewable residency to investors who purchase property (or a portfolio of properties) worth at least AED 2 million.

Both ready and select off-plan properties can qualify, provided the developer is on the approved list and the investment is fully paid or financed through an approved local lender.

The application process typically takes four to six weeks once the title deed or sale agreement is in hand.
