A LONGER-TERM VIEW OF LIFE IN THE UAE
FEATURED / THE PROPERTY INVESTMENT ROUTE
The UAE
Golden Visa.
The UAE Golden Visa can give eligible property investors a long-term base in Dubai. Understand the benefits and the steps before choosing a property.
Your family, together
Sponsor a spouse, children regardless of age, and parents, subject to the applicable family requirements.
Official guidanceNo local sponsor
Live, work, study and invest under Golden Residency without needing a local sponsor.
Official guidanceFlexibility to travel
Stay outside the UAE for more than six months without losing residence solely for that reason, while your permit remains valid.
Official guidanceHOW THE PROPERTY ROUTE WORKS
From property choice
to a residency application.
Treat property selection and visa eligibility as two connected decisions. Confirm your case before committing funds.
- 01
Confirm the qualifying ownership
DLD lists one or more properties in the applicant’s name totalling at least AED 2 million. Confirm financed, shared or off-plan cases directly with DLD.
- 02
Prepare and submit your documents
Bring your passport, title deed or e-certificate, photo, and UAE ID/residence permit if held. DLD requires the applicant to be inside the UAE and apply through its listed service channels.
- 03
Complete the residency formalities
Submit the application, pay the applicable fees, complete medical screening and the Emirates ID process, then await the authority’s decision. Maintain comprehensive, valid health insurance for yourself and sponsored family members.
Can a mortgaged property qualify?
It may qualify. DLD lists a bank NOC showing amounts paid and outstanding; its service description also asks for proof of AED 2 million paid. Confirm your mortgage and equity position with DLD before buying. Read DLD’s current terms ↗
What about an off-plan property?
ICP includes off-plan purchases totalling at least AED 2 million from an approved local real estate company. Confirm the Dubai project, registration, payment and document requirements with DLD. A booking payment alone does not confirm eligibility. Read ICP’s property criteria ↗
General guidance, checked 14 October 2026. Property ownership does not guarantee visa approval; the authorities assess eligibility and may update their requirements. Visa, medical, Emirates ID and insurance costs are separate from the property price.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before
we begin.
Can we start before I visit Dubai?
Yes. Start with a consultation brief: your goal, budget, preferred timing, and what matters most to you. That gives us a useful starting point for a focused conversation before your visit.
Should I consider a ready property or off-plan?
That depends on when you need the property, your cash flow, and your priorities. We can discuss both routes and the questions to ask about each property, including availability, payment milestones, and expected timing.
Are the payment plans on this website actual offers?
The explorer shows illustrative payment structures to help you understand the numbers. Booking percentages, instalment dates, handover terms, eligibility, and fees must be confirmed for the specific property and contract.
What should I share in my enquiry?
Your reason for buying, a comfortable budget range, your timeline, and any location or property preferences. A rough idea is enough to begin. Please leave out sensitive identity documents or financial account details.
LET’S MAKE IT PERSONAL
