The UAE Golden Visa programme allows certain property investments to support a long-term residency application, subject to eligibility criteria that can change over time.

Eligibility depends on property value thresholds, ownership structure and other conditions set by the relevant federal authority — this article is a general starting point, not a substitute for current official guidance.

Speak with an advisor and, where relevant, an immigration specialist before assuming a specific property qualifies.


Frequently asked questions

Does every property over the threshold qualify?

Not automatically — ownership structure and other conditions apply, so always confirm current eligibility rather than assuming based on price alone.
