Residency
Golden Visa guide for property buyers
What the Golden Visa is
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residence visa. Some categories of property investors are eligible, alongside other groups such as entrepreneurs and skilled professionals.
How property can qualify
Eligibility for property investors depends on rules set by the authorities, including a minimum property value, how ownership is held, whether the property is financed, and whether off-plan property counts. These rules change over time, so we confirm the current version for you before you reserve.
Off-plan property
Whether an off-plan unit counts, and at what stage, depends on the current rules and on the developer and project. Ask us to check a specific unit.
What to prepare
Typical documents include your passport, the title deed or sale agreement, and proof of payment. The exact list depends on your case and the current process.
