What Is the UAE Golden Visa?

The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency visa that grants holders the right to live, work, and study in the UAE for 10 years, with the option to renew. It extends to immediate family members, making it an ideal solution for investors looking to establish long-term roots in one of the world's most dynamic cities.

How to Qualify Through Off-Plan Property

One of the most attractive pathways to the Golden Visa is through real estate investment. Primary off-plan properties purchased directly from a developer make it easier than ever to meet the eligibility threshold, and you do not need to wait for your property to be completed or handed over.

To be eligible, investors must:

  • Purchase a primary off-plan property valued at AED 2,000,000 or more in Dubai, directly from the developer and not as a resale from a previous owner
  • Complete the initial down payment as required by the developer
  • Receive the OQOOD certificate, the official off-plan ownership title issued by the Dubai Land Department

Once the OQOOD is registered in your name, you meet the minimum requirements to begin the Golden Visa application process. There is no need to wait for construction to complete or for the property to be handed over.

Important: This offer applies exclusively to primary off-plan purchases made directly from the developer. Secondary market resales from private owners do not qualify for this complimentary Golden Visa service, even if the property value meets the AED 2,000,000 threshold.

What Does It Cost to Qualify?

Since only the down payment and OQOOD registration are required upfront, the total initial cost to qualify breaks down as follows:

Cost Calculation Amount
Down payment (20%) 20% of AED 2,000,000 AED 400,000
DLD registration fee 4% of AED 2,000,000 AED 80,000
Admin fees Approx. maximum AED 5,000
Total   AED 485,000

This makes the UAE Golden Visa one of the most accessible long-term residency pathways available globally, particularly when compared to similar programmes in Europe or North America.
