Does my property visa lapse if I leave the UAE for more than 6 months?
For the two-year investor visa, yes — staying outside the UAE for more than six consecutive months can invalidate it. The ten-year Golden Visa is exempt and stays valid regardless of absence, while the five-year retirement visa is generally treated more flexibly. Dependents you sponsor follow the same absence rule as your visa.
