The AED 2M rule: Golden Visa through property
How property buyers qualify for the UAE's 10-year residency, and the details that trip people up.
The threshold
Owning property worth at least AED 2 million can qualify you for a renewable 10-year Golden Visa. The value can come from one property or several.
Mortgages and off-plan
Mortgaged property can qualify, subject to the lender's conditions. Off-plan property from approved developers can also count.
Family and travel
Holders can sponsor their spouse and children, and the visa stays valid even if you spend long periods outside the UAE.
