How do Abu Dhabi property visa rules differ from Dubai's?

Rules differ by emirate. Dubai's two-year investor visa now has no minimum value for sole owners (AED 400,000 per joint owner), while Abu Dhabi keeps stricter terms: its property route generally requires around AED 2M in equity and accepts mortgages only from UAE national banks. Always check the specific emirate's land department.

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.
