Can equity release help fund a Golden Visa?

Indirectly, yes. You can release equity from an existing property to buy an additional home worth at least AED 2M, which meets the property threshold for a 10-year Golden Visa. Because Central Bank rules allow equity proceeds to be used for further UAE property purchases, this route works, but confirm the qualifying rules with your bank first.

Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.

Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
