UAE Golden Visa through property: a step-by-step guide

The UAE Golden Visa offers long-term, renewable residency to qualifying investors — and real estate is one of the most popular routes.

Who is eligible?

Investors who own property in the UAE meeting the minimum value set by the authorities (currently AED 2 million) may be eligible for a 10-year Golden Visa. Mortgaged and certain off-plan properties can qualify subject to conditions.

The process

  • Choose an eligible property and complete the purchase.
  • Obtain your title deed or the required off-plan documentation.
  • Apply through the relevant government channels with your passport, photos and property documents.
  • Complete medical tests and Emirates ID biometrics.

How Belle Homes helps

Our Golden Visa Assistance service guides property investors through eligible real estate investment criteria, documentation and timelines — so you can focus on choosing the right home.

Rules can change; always confirm current criteria with the official authorities.
