A visa that follows your investment, not your employer
For property investors the rule is simple: freehold residential property registered in your name, worth at least AED 2 million. The file behind it is not: title deed, medical, Emirates ID, insurance and, when the property is mortgaged, a no-objection certificate from the bank.
I've lived in Dubai since 2001 and own property here myself. I confirm that your property qualifies before you commit, then take the application through each step, so you deal with one person instead of five offices.
- Eligibility first. Value, area and title status confirmed before you buy, not after.
- Several units count. Properties can be combined to reach AED 2 million.
- Cash or mortgage. Financed properties can qualify, with a bank no-objection certificate.
- Family included. Spouse, children and parents can be sponsored.

How the Golden Visa actually works
01Which property qualifies?
Freehold residential property in designated areas, registered in your name, with a value of AED 2 million or more. Apartments, villas and townhouses all count, and several properties can be combined to reach the threshold.
02Can I qualify with a mortgage?
Yes, provided the property meets the AED 2 million threshold and your bank issues a no-objection certificate. The conditions have changed in recent years, so I confirm the current rules with you before you commit.
03Who can I include in the application?
Your spouse and children can be sponsored, and so can your parents under the Golden Visa.
04What does it cost, and how long does it take?
Government, medical and insurance costs are set by the authorities. My support is quoted upfront. Timing depends on the file and the authority, so you get a realistic timeline on day one instead of a promise.
