Program updates

The rules keep moving. We keep watch.

UAE authorities update Golden Visa criteria regularly. Our advisors track every official change so your application is judged against the current rules — not last year’s.

April 2026
Unified digital platform for property investors

Dubai integrated GDRFA and Dubai Land Department services into a single channel — ownership verification, uploads and fees in one streamlined process.

Feb 2026
50% equity requirement removed

Property eligibility is now based on the certified valuation reaching AED 2M, regardless of how much has been paid so far. Mortgaged and off-plan properties qualify.

Oct 2025
Consular support extended to Golden Visa holders

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs now provides 24/7 emergency assistance and return documents for Golden Visa holders travelling abroad.

Jan 2025
Basic-salary threshold strictly enforced

The AED 30,000 threshold for skilled professionals applies to basic salary only — housing, transport and other allowances are excluded.

Eligibility rules have widened over the past two years — but they are set by the authorities and can tighten without notice. If you think you qualify, it costs nothing to confirm it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long is the Golden Visa valid?

The UAE Golden Visa is valid for 10 years and is renewable upon expiry.

Can I sponsor my parents?+

Yes — the Golden Visa allows you to sponsor your spouse, children and parents without the restrictions found in standard visas.

What is the minimum investment for property owners?+

At least AED 2 million in real estate, which may include one or multiple properties, provided they are fully owned or financed through approved local banks.

How long can I stay outside the UAE?+

Golden Visa holders can stay outside the UAE for unlimited periods without losing residency status — unlike standard visas, which lapse after six months abroad.

Does the Golden Visa lead to citizenship?+

Not automatically. Citizenship is granted selectively by exceptional nomination to investors, scientists and talents who meet strict criteria.

What happens if my application is rejected?+

All approval decisions rest with the UAE authorities. Our role is to make sure your category choice and documentation give your application the strongest possible footing before submission.

How much does it cost?+

Costs depend on your pathway and family size. Your advisor gives you a full, fixed-fee breakdown — including government fees — before anything starts. The eligibility check itself is free.

Most applications are approved within 2–4 weeks of document submission. Degree attestation for skilled professionals can add time — your advisor will give you an exact timeline for your case.

Can I apply from outside the UAE?+

Yes. Both existing UAE residents and non-residents are eligible to apply, provided they meet the criteria for their category.

Do I need to live in the UAE full-time?+
