The Golden Visa & Property: What Actually Qualifies

The UAE Golden Visa has made property ownership even more compelling for international buyers. But the rules are specific, and small details matter.

The headline: a property investment of AED 2 million or more can support a 10-year renewable Golden Visa. This applies to ready and, in defined cases, off-plan and mortgaged property.

Where buyers get caught out is documentation — the title deed, valuation and, for mortgaged purchases, a no-objection letter from the bank. Getting these right the first time avoids weeks of delay.

I work with trusted legal and PRO partners to handle the process end to end, so residency runs in parallel with your purchase rather than after it.
