Do I get a residency visa if I buy property in Dubai?
Property can qualify you for residency. A 10-year Golden Visa requires property worth at least AED 2 million (single or combined; mortgaged and off-plan now accepted on DLD valuation). There is also a 5-year retirement visa (from AED 1 million, age 55+) and a renewable 2-year investor visa, whose AED 750,000 minimum was reportedly removed in May 2026.
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.
