Residency

Golden Visa through property

The United Arab Emirates grant a ten-year, renewable residence permit to owners of property from AED 2 million. It is tied to the investment, not to an employer or a company, and it does not lead to citizenship.

Threshold

AED 2,000,000

Property value on the title deed. Several properties may be combined. Categories and thresholds are maintained by ICP and GDRFA and can change.

Where the property side decides

The title deed carries the application

The deed has to show ownership of at least AED 2 million. This is where applications filed too early fail, not at the authority.

Off-plan depends on stage and payments

An off-plan purchase can qualify, but completion and the amount paid decide when. We say before the purchase what the plan means for the timing.

A mortgage does not rule it out

Financed property can qualify where the bank confirms the arrangement and the required amount has been paid.

Buying from abroad is routine

Reservation, SPA, Oqood and transfer run under power of attorney. Your presence in Dubai is not required for the purchase.

What we do, and what we do not

We handle the property: selection against the threshold, the purchase, the documentation and the title deed in the form the application needs.

The visa itself — category, submission, medical, Emirates ID, family — is immigration work. We refer that to Exit Palm, a Dubai consultancy for German-speaking clients, rather than handling it ourselves.
