UAE Golden Visa Through Property: What Investors Should Know

The UAE offers long-term residency (the “Golden Visa”) to certain categories of investors, and property ownership is one of the most popular routes.

The basic idea

Investors who own qualifying real estate above a minimum value threshold (currently from AED 2 million) may be eligible for a long-term visa for themselves and, in many cases, their family.

Points to check before you buy

• Whether the property is ready or off-plan, and how the value is counted
• Whether the purchase is mortgaged, and what bank documents are needed
• Whether the property is held individually or through a company
• The current requirements published by the authorities, since these are updated
