09.09.2025

Dubai not just a city of the future — it's a place where real estate investments give you access to a new life. Thanks UAE gold visa, property buyers can not only increase their capital, but also receive long-term residence permit, providing stability, security and new opportunities for themselves and their families.

What is a golden visa?

The golden visa is long-term residence permit in the UAE, for a period of up to 10 years, renewable. Unlike regular resident visas, it does not require an employer or sponsor. You can get a visa for investments, entrepreneurship, outstanding achievements... but one of the most popular ways is through the purchase of real estate.

How does real estate help you get a golden visa?

To qualify for a golden visa as a real estate investor, several conditions must be met:

Investment amount: at least 2 million dirhams (about 545,000 US dollars).

Property type: the object must be ready and transferred to ownership (not off-plan).

The property can be mortgaged, if at least 2 million dirhams are paid — and the loan is issued in one of the approved banks in the UAE.

It is important: the property must be purchased in the applicant's name, not in the company's name.

Why is this beneficial?

1. Long term stability

With a golden visa, you get the right to live in the UAE up to 10 years, without having to renew your visa every year. This is especially important for families with children, business owners, and investors.

2. The opportunity to bring your family

A golden visa holder can apply for a residence permit for a spouse, children, and service personnel (housekeepers, drivers, etc.).

3. Visa-free to other countries in the region

With a UAE resident visa, it is easier to obtain visas to a number of other countries in the Middle East and Asia.

4. Access to local banking services

UAE residents can open bank accounts, take out mortgages, take out insurance and licenses, which makes it much easier to do business in the country.
