Golden Visa
10-year UAE residency through Dubai real estate — no sponsor, no employer required.
The UAE Golden Visa gives property investors 10-year renewable residency — no sponsor, no employer, and no requirement to live in the UAE full-time. To qualify, you need Dubai property with a total value of at least AED 2,000,000, and your family can be included on the same 10-year term. Fidu Properties has guided international buyers through Golden Visa-eligible purchases since 2018, from first inquiry to title deed and visa stamping.
Any community works once the AED 2M threshold is met. Our Golden Visa clients most often buy in Dubai Hills Estate (family villas and branded apartments), Business Bay (high-liquidity apartments near Downtown), and Jumeirah Village Circle (strong rental yields at accessible entry prices — often combined as a two-property portfolio to reach AED 2M).
AED 2,000,000 (about USD 545,000) in Dubai Land Department-registered property value. This can be a single property or several properties combined — the threshold applies to the aggregate title-deed value, and both ready and off-plan properties qualify.
Official sources describe this differently. Cabinet Resolution 65 of 2022 allows a loan from an approved UAE bank, but the Dubai Land Department, GDRFA and ICP describe the paid-amount and mortgage requirements in different ways, so confirm the current requirement with the Dubai Land Department before relying on a mortgaged or off-plan purchase. The property must have a total value of at least AED 2,000,000.
Yes. Eligibility is assessed on the DLD-registered value at the time of application, not ongoing market value. Once issued, the 10-year visa remains valid; the property value is reviewed again at renewal, provided you still own the qualifying property.
