Frequently Asked Questions About the UAE Golden Visa in Dubai

What is the UAE Golden Visa and how long is it valid? +
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term renewable residence visa available in 5-year and 10-year categories — depending on your eligibility type. Unlike a standard residence visa, it is not tied to an employer or company sponsor, giving you full independence and long-term security. It can be renewed indefinitely as long as you maintain your eligibility criteria.
Can I include my family under my Golden Visa? +
Yes — Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouse, children of any age, and domestic staff under their Golden Visa. The family members receive residence visas of the same duration as the primary Golden Visa holder. We manage the complete family inclusion process as part of our Golden Visa service.
What is the minimum property value for a real estate Golden Visa? +
Property investors with UAE real estate valued at AED 2 million or above qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa. This includes mortgaged properties where the amount already paid to the bank meets the AED 2 million threshold. We assess your property ownership and advise on your eligibility during the consultation.

Do I need to be in the UAE to apply for a Golden Visa? +
Most Golden Visa applications require the applicant to be physically present in the UAE for the medical fitness test, Emirates ID biometric registration, and visa stamping.
