Frequently Asked Questions

The minimum property investment for a 10-year Golden Visa is AED 2 million. This can be a single property or multiple properties totaling AED 2 million. The property must be completed (ready) — off-plan properties under construction do not qualify. The value is based on the purchase price on the title deed, not the current market value.
Yes, you can qualify for a Golden Visa even if the property is mortgaged. The key requirement is that the total property value on the title deed is AED 2 million or more. There is no restriction on the mortgage amount or loan-to-value ratio. Both fully paid and mortgaged properties are eligible.
The Golden Visa application typically takes 2-4 weeks from submission to approval. The process involves obtaining a property valuation letter from the Dubai Land Department, submitting your application through ICP (Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship), completing medical fitness tests, and receiving your Emirates ID. Some applicants receive approval within days.
Yes, Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouse and children of any age. You can also sponsor domestic workers. There is no additional property investment required for family sponsorship. Each family member receives a matching 10-year visa that renews alongside the primary holder's visa.
If you sell the qualifying property, you must either purchase a new property worth AED 2 million or more to maintain eligibility, or the visa will not be renewed upon expiration. Your existing visa remains valid until its expiry date. Many investors strategically upgrade to higher-value properties to maintain continuous eligibility.
