Three Paths to Residency

The UAE offers multiple residency options for property owners based on the value of their real estate and age.

2-Year Investor Visa

Own a property and secure a 2-year residency. If you are the sole owner, there is no minimum value required. For jointly owned properties, each eligible person's share must be worth at least 400,000.

  • No minimum value for sole owners
  • 400,000 minimum share for joint owners
  • Both ready and off-plan accepted

5-Year Retirement Visa

A special category designed for senior expats to retire comfortably in Dubai. Simply hold a property worth AED 1 Million or more and meet the age requirement.

  • AED 1 Million minimum property value
  • Applicant must be 55+ years old
  • Can sponsor spouse and dependents

10-Year Golden Visa

The ultimate VIP residency. Your entire real estate portfolio is evaluated—combine multiple properties to reach the AED 2 Million threshold.

  • AED 2 Million minimum combined value
  • Property portfolios are accepted
  • No 6-month entry restriction

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. You will need to provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or an official liability letter from your financing bank. For some visa categories, the paid-up amount (equity) towards the mortgage must meet the minimum threshold, while others evaluate the total purchase price.
Yes, off-plan properties are accepted for both the 2-Year Investor Visa and the 10-Year Golden Visa, provided you hold an Oqood certificate from the Dubai Land Department and the paid investments meet the minimum financial criteria.
Absolutely. Once your 2-Year, 5-Year Retirement, or 10-Year Golden Property Visa is issued, you can easily sponsor your spouse, children, and (depending on the visa type) your parents for the exact same duration as your residency.
You are highly likely eligible for the 10-Year Golden Visa! The Dubai Land Department allows you to consolidate your real estate portfolio. As long as the total combined value of your properties is AED 2 Million or more, you qualify for the long-term residency.
