Two-Year Investor Visa
This is the basic option for property investors. To qualify for this, you must have invested a minimum of 750,000 dirhams in property. The visa is valid for two years and can be renewed thereafter. This makes it an accessible route for those looking to start at a relatively low entry level.
Five-Year Investor Visa for Retirees
This option is specifically intended for people who are retired. In this case, you must have invested a minimum of 1 million dirhams in property. This visa gives you the ability to reside in Dubai for five years, with the prospect of renewal as long as you continue to meet the conditions.
Ten-Year Golden Visa
The Golden Visa is the most prestigious option and grants you residency rights in Dubai for ten years. To qualify for this, you must invest at least 2 million dirhams in property.
This visa is ideal for those who wish to settle in Dubai long-term and experience full flexibility.
