UAE Golden Visa

In 2019, the UAE introduced ten-year Golden Visas for select residents. As the name suggests, this visa grants long-term residency in the UAE for a full decade. Unlike standard residency permits, it isn’t linked to a specific employer and doesn’t require renewal every two to three years

Let’s Turn You into a Success Story

    Investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, skilled professionals, and exceptional talents are eligible to apply for the UAE Golden Visa—a long-term residency program introduced in 2019. Initially, obtaining a Golden Visa through investment required a contribution of AED 5 million to AED 10 million.

    However, in 2022, the UAE government revised the criteria to make the process more accessible. Under the new rules, which took effect in October, the minimum investment amount was lowered, restrictions on time spent outside the country were lifted, and investors were allowed to purchase off-plan properties or use mortgages.

    To qualify for a 10-year Golden Visa, you can now invest in UAE real estate worth at least AED 2 million (approximately $545,000). Alternatively, investing AED 750,000 (around $204,000) in property can grant you a 2-year residence visa.
