Good value from real estate investments
Make a minimum investment of AED 2,000,000 in real estate to qualify for a 10-year Golden Visa. This investment grants you, as the real estate investor, residency privileges, commonly referred to as a property investor visa, in Dubai or across the UAE. Renewal of the Golden Visa is possible by sustaining the investment.
You have three options to fulfil this requirement:
This Golden Visa grants a 10-year validity, contingent upon submitting details of medical insurance coverage for yourself and your family. This visa option is often referred to as the Investor Visa Dubai due to the city’s popularity for investment opportunities.
As an entrepreneur, you are required to obtain approval letters from the following entities:
An auditor based in the UAE validating that the project holds a minimum value of AED 500,000.
The relevant authorities in the emirate confirming that the project pertains to a technical or future-oriented nature.
An accredited business incubator in the UAE verifying the proposed activity within the country.
With these approvals, you become eligible for UAE residency for a period of up to five years through the Golden Visa program.
Property acquisition:
To initiate the process, our first step involves assisting you in searching for and acquiring one or more properties in Dubai, ensuring their collective value exceeds AED 2,000,000. Our priority is to verify that the selected properties align with the eligibility criteria for the Golden Visa. Additionally, we handle the submission of all required documents to authorities such as the Dubai Land Department.
Throughout this phase, we facilitate connections with reputable real estate agents and consultants to identify suitable properties, negotiate terms, and finalize purchase agreements. Furthermore, we coordinate the procurement of necessary entry permits, including those for Free Zones.
Golden Visa issued:
Following the property acquisition, our next step involves aiding you in securing the title deeds for the purchased property. These deeds are essential as they serve as evidence of ownership and are a prerequisite for the Golden Visa application, also known as the Dubai Investor Visa.
Once the residency visa is obtained, the final stage entails receiving your Emirates ID card, typically within seven to ten days.
