Understanding the Dubai Property Golden Visa: The Investor’s Gateway

The Property Golden Visa is more than a simple visa. It’s an assurance of stability and a chance for investors worldwide who select Dubai as their primary location.

  • Purpose of the Property Golden Visa: It was created to secure substantial foreign investment, especially in the growing real estate industry, and provides an immediate link between the ownership of a property and long-term residency.
  • How real estate ownership qualifies for residency: By achieving an investment threshold of a minimum, property owners show that they are committed to a long-term investment in the economy of the United Arab Emirates and are granted the benefit of the 10 Year Residence Visa for Property Owners.
  • Core advantages for property owners in the UAE: The visa grants the freedom of being independent of local sponsoring entities, a variety of travel regulations (allowing stay outside of the UAE for longer than 6 months), and the full freedom to establish and manage businesses across the Emirate.
  • Investors who require professional translation assistance: Any documents from outside the UAE – such as financial statements and police clearance certificates or documents from the family (marriage/birth certificates)- must be translated into Arabic by a certified office in order to be accepted by DLD, GDRFA, or MOFA.

Applicant Type Individual Investors Real estate must be registered under the applicant’s name (personal or joint with spouse).

Crucial Rule: The Dubai Golden Visa Requirements stipulate that the valuation and ownership status must be certified through the mandatory DLD process.
