Simple 4-Step Golden Visa Process
Our streamlined process makes obtaining your UAE Golden Visa straightforward and hassle-free.
1. Eligibility Assessment
We review your profile and investment plans to confirm Golden Visa eligibility and recommend the best property investment strategy for your needs.
2. Property Selection & Purchase
Identify qualifying properties that meet the AED 2 million requirement. We assist with property selection, negotiation, and purchase completion.
3. Documentation & Application
Gather all required documents, prepare your application, and submit to UAE immigration authorities with our expert guidance.
4. Visa Approval & Emirates ID
Receive your Golden Visa approval, complete medical tests, get Emirates ID, and enjoy long-term UAE residency with full benefits.
The minimum property investment is AED 2 million. This can be a single property or multiple properties combined. Both ready properties and off-plan developments qualify. You can also use a mortgage, as long as the total property value (not your equity) meets the AED 2 million threshold.
Once you've purchased the qualifying property, the Golden Visa application typically takes 30-60 days to process. This includes document verification, application submission, medical tests, and Emirates ID issuance. Our team expedites the process by ensuring all documents are correctly prepared from the start.
Yes! Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouse, children (regardless of age), and parents. Family members receive the same visa validity period and benefits. Unlike standard visas, there's no age limit for sponsored children, making it ideal for families with adult children.
You must retain the property for a minimum of 3 years from the Golden Visa issuance date. If you sell before this period, your Golden Visa may be cancelled. After 3 years, you can sell the property but must either maintain other qualifying investments or meet renewal requirements through alternative eligibility criteria.
No, there's no minimum stay requirement. Unlike standard residence visas which require you to enter the UAE every 180 days, Golden Visa holders can stay outside the UAE indefinitely without visa cancellation. This flexibility makes it perfect for investors who split time between countries.
Additional costs include visa application fees (approximately AED 3,000-5,000 per person), medical test fees (AED 300-500), Emirates ID fees (AED 1,000), typing center charges (AED 200-500), and potential attestation/translation fees. Our team provides a complete breakdown of all costs upfront with no hidden fees.
