Enjoy long-term residency in the UAE for you and your family with a straightforward application path. The Golden Visa provides stability, freedom to live and work, and access to a fast-growing economy.
Whether you are an investor, entrepreneur, skilled professional, or special talent, the Golden Visa is a durable route to securing your future in the UAE.
Key Benefits
- 10-year or 5-year renewable residency depending on the category and issuing authority. Real-estate investment is generally 5 years federally (ICP), while Dubai Land Department offers a 10-year route for qualifying Dubai property files. Verify the duration for your specific category.
- Keep your visa valid even if you stay outside the UAE for 6+ months.
- Golden Visa holders may sponsor spouse and children under the federal framework, plus domestic helpers subject to UAE rules. Parent sponsorship is described under specific routes (e.g., Dubai DLD's property-investor service).
- Priority access and potential discounts on services (driving license, insurance, healthcare, and more).
- Save time and costs on renewals over the long term.
Eligibility Categories
1) Property Investment
Own property in the UAE valued at AED 2 million or more. Mortgaged and off-plan properties may qualify if there’s sufficient progress. Joint ownership with a spouse is allowed; for unrelated co-owners, the total value should exceed AED 4 million. For mortgaged Dubai property, verify the latest Dubai Land Department requirement. DLD's Golden Visa investor service currently refers to bank documentation showing the paid amount and balance, and describes AED 2 million paid-amount proof for mortgaged property.
2) Local Bank Deposit
Maintain a fixed deposit of AED 2 million with a bank licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE for at least two years. A bank letter or statement confirming the deposit is required.
3) Skilled Professionals
Earn a minimum monthly salary of AED 30,000, be employed with the same company for two years, and hold a university degree. Provide salary proof (bank statements) and an NOC from your employer.
4) Special Talent
Suitable for scientists, professional athletes, artists, creators, and influencers with notable achievements, as well as outstanding students (GPA ≥ 3.8). There is no age limit. Evidence of awards or contributions may be required.
