Expert Answer
Property ownership in Dubai can qualify you for several visa types:
- Property Visa (2 years): AED 750,000+ property value — renewable, self-sponsored, allows you to sponsor spouse and children
- Golden Visa (10 years): AED 2,000,000+ property value — the most popular option for investors, covers entire family including parents
- Green Visa (5 years): For freelancers, skilled workers, and investors — self-sponsored, no employer needed
- Retirement Visa (5 years): Age 55+, AED 1,000,000 property + savings/income proof
The Golden Visa is by far the most attractive: 10-year duration, no employer dependency, full family sponsorship, no minimum stay, and easier banking access. Off-plan properties now qualify at full purchase price.
