Dubai Investor Visa

What are the benefits of having a Dubai resident visa?

The Dubai resident visa offers multiple advantages. Beyond the obvious tax benefits, it allows you to stay in Dubai for more than 6 months per year. With this visa, you can:

  • Obtain a local driver’s license without retaking the exam
  • Open a bank account under the same conditions as UAE residents
  • Enjoy resident privileges across the Emirates

If you purchase a property and have already paid AED 750,000 or more, you qualify for a 2-year renewable visa. The visa remains valid as long as you keep ownership of the property.

If you invest AED 2,000,000 or more, you may be eligible for a visa of up to 10 years.

To qualify, you must own an apartment worth at least AED 750,000 (approx. $198,220). The property must be completed and delivered, and you must hold the keys.

To maintain the visa, you must:

  • Retain ownership of the property
  • Visit the UAE at least once every 6 months

⚠️ If you sell the property, your visa becomes invalid.

For jointly owned properties, eligibility depends on each person’s share. For instance, if two unmarried buyers jointly purchase a property worth AED 1,000,000, only AED 500,000 would count per person, making them ineligible. If they are married, the full amount is considered jointly, making them eligible.

To qualify, you must invest at least AED 2,000,000 (approx. $530,000) in a property.

Key benefits of the Golden Visa:

  • Eligibility even if your property is still under construction (minimum 20% completion required)
  • No obligation to reside in Dubai full-time
  • No requirement to visit the UAE every 6 months (unlike the standard visa)

Freedom to sponsor your parents, children, and even domestic staff (nanny, driver, cleaning help, etc.)
