Long-Term UAE Residency Through Real Estate Investment
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency programme introduced by the UAE Government in 2019 and significantly expanded in 2022. It allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study in the UAE without the need for a local employer sponsor.
For property investors, the most accessible pathway is purchasing Dubai real estate worth a minimum of AED 2,000,000 (approximately USD 545,000). The property can be ready-to-move-in or off-plan, and mortgaged properties qualify provided the equity already paid to the bank equals or exceeds AED 2 million.
At Realty Access, our RERA-certified team specialises in identifying qualifying properties in Dubai, managing the Dubai Land Department (DLD) registration, and handling the full Golden Visa application — at no additional cost to you.
