As Dubai continues its ascent as the world’s premier destination for investment and luxury living, the Golden Visa program stands out as the most compelling pathway for international investors seeking long-term stability and residency. This isn’t just a visa; it’s a 10-year commitment from the UAE government to those who contribute to the nation’s thriving economy.
As a Luxury Real Estate Investment Consultant featured on Million Dollar Listing India, my expertise lies in guiding discerning clients through this process, ensuring their investment not only secures their residency but also delivers exceptional returns. This master guide breaks down everything you need to know about securing your 10-year Golden Visa through property in 2026.
Section 1: Understanding the 10-Year Golden Visa
The Golden Visa is a long-term residency program designed to attract talent, entrepreneurs, and investors. For property owners, it offers a renewable 10-year visa, providing a level of security and stability unmatched in many global markets. Crucially, this visa allows the holder to sponsor their family members, including spouses and children, making Dubai a true second home.
Section 2: The Property Investment Requirement
The primary requirement for the 10-year Golden Visa through real estate is a minimum investment of AED 2 Million (approximately $545,000 USD). This investment can be structured in several ways:
- Single Property: Purchasing one or more ready or off-plan properties with a combined value of at least AED 2 Million.
- Mortgaged Property: The property can be mortgaged, provided the investor pays at least AED 2 Million of the property value upfront to the local bank or developer.
- Off-Plan Investment: Investment in off-plan projects is fully eligible, making it an excellent option for capital appreciation and future growth.
The key is that the property must be residential and owned by the applicant directly.
Section 3: Step-by-Step Application Process
Navigating the application process is straightforward when guided by an expert. As your RERA-certified consultant, I manage this entire process for you.
- Investment Selection: Identify and purchase a property (or properties) that meets the minimum AED 2 Million threshold. I specialize in high-growth areas like Dubai Hills Estate and Palm Jumeirah to maximize your ROI.
- Title Deed Issuance: The property title deed must be issued in your name by the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
- DLD Application: We submit the necessary documents (passport, title deed, RERA certificate) to the DLD for initial approval.
- Medical & Biometrics: The applicant and sponsored family members undergo a medical fitness test and provide biometrics (fingerprints) at a designated center.
- Visa Stamping: Upon final approval, the 10-year Golden Visa is stamped in your passport.
