The UAE Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable residency visa available to, among other categories, real estate investors who own property valued at AED 2,000,000 or more (off-plan eligibility rules vary and have tightened over time — some structures require the property to be fully or substantially paid). It allows the holder, spouse, and children to live, work, and study in the UAE without a local sponsor.
Why It Matters
- —Golden Visa eligibility rules for off-plan property have changed several times — confirm current requirements with an immigration consultant before relying on a specific project to qualify.
- —The visa is tied to continued ownership — selling the qualifying property can affect visa validity.
- —Comparable residency-by-investment programmes exist in other PropSentral markets — see MM2H for Malaysia's equivalent.
