Residency · United Arab Emirates
AED 2M in Dubai property, about €510,000, qualifies you and your family for a 10-year renewable UAE residence visa. No minimum stay. Keep your life in Europe, hold your base in Dubai.
The Substance
Most residency programs ask you to donate capital or park it in funds. Dubai asks you to own an asset that pays you. That difference is the entire case.
A 10-year UAE residence visa, renewable while you hold qualifying property. Residency measured in decades, not annual paperwork.
Your spouse and children are included under your sponsorship. One property, one application, the whole household covered.
The visa does not oblige you to relocate. Keep your home, your business and your routine in Europe. Dubai stays open whenever you want it.
An Emirates ID unlocks UAE bank accounts, local contracts and everyday life admin. You operate in Dubai like a resident, because you are one.
The UAE levies 0% personal income tax and 0% capital gains tax on your salary and gains. To be clear: your home country's rules still apply until you genuinely change tax residence.
Your qualifying property is not a fee, it is a hard asset in a market averaging around 7% gross rental yield. It earns while it holds your visa.
The Route
You make two decisions: the property and the date of one short visit. We run everything in between.
We shortlist qualifying units above the AED 2M line that also stand on their own as investments. Yield first, visa included.
Business as usual: we negotiate hard. Our closings average 11.4% below asking, and the visa never softens that discipline.
The transfer completes and the title deed is issued in your name. That deed is the document the entire visa file rests on.
We prepare and file the Golden Visa application. Government fees run roughly AED 10,000 to 15,000 per applicant, including medical and Emirates ID.
One short visit to Dubai for biometrics and the medical check. Most clients fold it into a viewing or handover trip.
Typically 2 to 6 weeks after the title deed is issued, your 10-year residence visa lands. Family applications follow the same file.
We coordinate the whole file with licensed government-services partners: forms, translations, appointments, follow-ups. You sign, you fly in once, you collect a residence card.
Qualifying Property, Solved
The threshold can be met with one asset or a combination of properties. Ready or handed-over property with a title deed works cleanest. Our rule is simple: we only shortlist units that clear the threshold and stand on their own as investments. The visa is the bonus, never the excuse for a weak deal. Browse the current portfolio or model any unit in the Investor Suite before you commit to anything.
A single deed far above the line. The straightforward route for families who want the villa and the visa in one signature.
Clears the threshold by itself. Pair it with a JVC unit or two, where gross yields run 9 to 10%, and the visa sits on a small income portfolio.
Neither clears the line alone. Together they do, comfortably, across two districts and two rental profiles. We structure the deeds so the file lands cleanly.
Straight Answers
The Golden Visa gives you residency. It does not, by itself, make you a UAE tax resident: 183-day rules and your home country's tax law decide where you are taxed, and for that we refer you to qualified tax counsel rather than pretend a visa is a tax plan.
Rules can evolve. Thresholds, categories and documentation have been adjusted before and may be again. We verify the current requirements at the moment of purchase, in writing, before you commit. If anything in your case looks uncertain, you hear it from us first.
Before You Ask
Off-plan supports the visa once handover completes and the title deed is issued; while a unit is still under construction it does not carry the application. If the visa is your priority we shortlist ready stock, or we time an off-plan purchase so the handover date matches your residency plan. Either way, we tell you before you sign, not after.
The visa is tied to holding qualifying property. Sell below the threshold without replacing it and the basis for the visa goes with it. That is why we plan exits accordingly: replacement units, staged sales or a combination that keeps you above the line while your strategy plays out.
Your spouse and children come under your sponsorship as standard. Additional categories exist beyond the core family file, and the details depend on your circumstances, so we advise case by case rather than promise a blanket answer. Bring the full family picture to the consultation and we map it properly.
The visa is renewable while you hold qualifying property. Keep the asset, or an equivalent above the threshold, and the residency renews with it. In practice that means one good purchase decision now can anchor decades of residence, which is exactly how our clients treat it.
