Golden Visa through property

A home valued at AED 2 million or more can qualify you for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Here is how it works today.

The property route in short

  • Value: one or more properties with a total value of AED 2 million or more, as registered with the Dubai Land Department.
  • Off-plan: can qualify, when the project and the purchase are registered with the land department.
  • Mortgaged homes: can qualify; a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the bank is required.
  • Validity: 10 years, renewable while you keep the qualifying property.
  • Family: you can sponsor your spouse and children, and in many cases parents.
  • No minimum stay: the residency does not lapse if you live mostly outside the UAE.

Steps

  1. Buy (or reserve) a qualifying property and complete the registration.
  2. Obtain the title deed — or for off-plan, the registered contract — and the bank NOC if mortgaged.
  3. Apply through the Dubai Land Department / ICP channels, then complete the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics.

The Golden Visa rules are set by the UAE authorities and have changed several times. We check the current requirements for your purchase before you commit, and we never promise approval — the decision is the authorities'.

How we help

We tell you early which homes on your shortlist meet the value threshold, how the payment plan affects the timing of your application, and which documents you will need.

Questions buyers ask

Does an off-plan property qualify for the Golden Visa?

Under the current rules it can, provided the property value is AED 2 million or more and the purchase is registered with the land department. Confirm the details for your project before booking.

Can I combine two properties to reach AED 2 million?

Combining properties is allowed under the current rules as long as the total registered value meets the threshold. We check this case by case.

Is a Golden Visa guaranteed if I buy?

No. Approval is decided by the UAE authorities. A qualifying property is a requirement, not a guarantee.
