Invest in one or more UAE properties with a combined value of at least AED 2 million (approx. USD 545,000). Off-plan properties from approved developers like DAMAC and Sobha qualify. The property must be fully paid or mortgaged through a UAE bank.

Once your property purchase is complete, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) issues a Title Deed in your name. This is the key document required to apply for your Golden Visa and serves as proof of property ownership.

Submit your Golden Visa application through the UAE's Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICP) or directly via the Dubai Land Department. Required documents include your passport, title deed, passport photos and a valid UAE entry permit.

Once your application is approved, complete a medical fitness test and apply for your Emirates ID. This is a straightforward process that typically takes 2–4 weeks from application approval to visa issuance.

Your 10-year Golden Visa allows you to sponsor your spouse, children (of any age) and parents. Your family members receive the same 10-year residency, giving your entire family the right to live, work and study in the UAE without a local sponsor.
