The 10-Year Golden Visa β from AED 2 million. A single property or a combined portfolio valued at AED 2 million qualifies you for the UAE's 10-year renewable Golden Visa β no employer, no sponsor, no minimum-stay requirement, with sponsorship extending to your spouse and children. Off-plan purchases from DLD-approved developers qualify from Oqood registration, before handover.
The 2-Year Investor Visa β at any property value. Under the Dubai Land Department's April 2026 update, the sole owner of a completed residential property qualifies for the renewable two-year investor residency regardless of the property's value. For off-plan buyers, this route opens at handover.
And the returns stay yours. For individual owners, the UAE levies no personal income tax on rental income and no capital gains tax on sale β and Dubai imposes no annual property tax. The principal one-time cost is the 4% DLD registration fee.
Additional routes exist, including the five-year retirement residency for buyers aged 55 and above. We structure your purchase with eligibility in mind from day one, and manage the application pathway with our licensed partners.
Residency criteria are set by the UAE government, remain subject to standard approvals, and are periodically updated. This page is general information, not legal or financial advice.
