Understanding the Golden Visa: Property Routes to UAE Residency

A property investment of AED 2 million or more can qualify you — and your family — for the UAE's renewable 10-year Golden Visa. It's one of the biggest reasons global buyers choose Dubai over other markets.

The visa covers your spouse and children, and you don't need a local sponsor. Off-plan purchases can count toward the threshold, subject to the rules in force at the time of application.

Because the threshold is the same across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, your choice comes down to the home and the community — not the residency benefit. An advisor can confirm the latest eligibility details for your situation.
