UAE Golden Visa through property.

The property-investor route

Dubai Land Department describes a route for property investors with qualifying purchase value of at least AED 2 million to apply for renewable 10-year residence. Buying a property does not itself issue a visa; the competent authorities assess the application and supporting evidence.

Prepare the right documents

The DLD service lists a passport, title document and personal photograph, with Emirates ID and current residence permit where applicable. For mortgaged property, DLD’s service description states that a bank letter must evidence an AED 2 million paid amount. Its terms also require a bank no-objection letter stating the paid amount and outstanding balance. The applicant must be in the UAE for this service. Confirm the current interpretation and evidence directly with the authority before committing funds.

A practical sequence

• Identify the property, ownership structure and intended applicant.
• Ask the competent authority to confirm eligibility for the specific property and finance arrangement.
• Check title documentation and obtain any required bank letters.
• Confirm the current fees, medical examination and identity requirements.
• Submit through the official channel and follow the authority’s instructions.

How RAMRE can help

We can help organise property information and questions for the relevant service provider. We do not issue residency permits or guarantee approval. Keep investment suitability separate from residency expectations: consider affordability, the property itself and your plans even if your visa circumstances change.

Family sponsorship, joint ownership and off-plan cases can have different documentary questions. Seek an individual assessment through the official service before assuming that a purchase qualifies.
