How to Qualify for the UAE Golden Visa Through Property Investment

20th June 2025

The UAE Golden Visa has emerged as one of the most sought-after residency programmes globally - especially for property investors.

More than just a permit, it’s a powerful bridge to long-term living, working, and wealth-building in the Emirates.

Whether you’re looking to establish a stable base in the Middle East or diversify your global real estate portfolio, the UAE Golden Visa offers an attractive path forward. Backed by an economy that continues to thrive and a real estate market that shattered records in 2024, the Golden Visa is opening doors to a new kind of residency.

Dubai’s real estate performance in 2024 underscores why the Golden Visa is attracting investors in droves. The city recorded AED 760.7 billion in property transaction value across 226,000 deals. Out of this, AED 522 billion came from property sales alone.

What’s more, over 110,000 new investors entered the market last year—a staggering 55% year-on-year increase. This trend not only demonstrates the growing global confidence in the UAE’s property market but also confirms that real estate is the leading route to securing the Golden Visa.

Why Choose the UAE Golden Visa via Property Investment?

Here’s what makes the property route so compelling:

  • 10-Year Renewable Residency
    Enjoy long-term stability with a renewable visa that grants peace of mind for the future.
