Short answer: property investors who own real estate worth at least AED 2 million in Dubai can apply for a 10-year renewable UAE Golden Visa.
Who qualifies
The total value of the property you own must be at least AED 2 million. The threshold can be met with one property or several properties combined.
Off-plan and mortgaged property
Rules have expanded over time to include certain off-plan and mortgaged properties, subject to conditions. Requirements change, so always confirm current rules with the official authorities before you buy.
