Golden Visa Dubai: how to get it in 2024?
If you invest in real estate in Dubai, you may be eligible for a resident's visa. Please note, however, that you will need to meet certain criteria, particularly if you wish to receive a Golden Visa. Every year, Dubai Immo helps hundreds of families to obtain their resident visa following a property purchase. Find out in this article how to obtain a Dubai Golden Visa, and the formalities involved.
How much do you have to invest in Dubai to receive the 10-year Golden Visa?
To obtain the 10-year Dubai Golden Visa, you must have made a real estate investment worth at least 2 million dirhams (€500,000). You can own several properties, as long as they are all in the same name. This visa will be valid for 10 years and will be renewable for as long as you own the property. You can also sponsor your spouse and children.
What about homes bought by 2 people in equal shares? If the apartment or villa is shared between husband and wife, the shares must be equal between the two parties. If the shares are not equal, the owner of the larger share can only apply for a visa as the main owner. He or she may then sponsor the spouse.
What are the advantages of the Dubai Golden Visa?
As a holder of a 10-year Golden Visa, you will have access to many advantages and privileges that other types of visa do not offer until now:
- The opportunity to live in the United Arab Emirates, one of the safest and most dynamic countries in the world
- Possibility of keeping your Visa without having to come to Dubai at least once every 6 months
- Sponsor your spouse
- You can sponsor your children under the age of 30 for men and of any age for women.
- Possibility of sponsoring your parents, who can also receive a 10-year visa
What documents do I need to obtain a 10-year Golden Visa?
You will need to provide a number of documents when you submit your application. Please ensure that your application is complete, so as not to delay the visa issuance process and the examination of your file unnecessarily. You'll need to be present when the authorities register your file. You will not be able to complete the procedure remotely.
Here are the documents you'll need to provide to the authorities
- Your title deed, which must clearly stipulate the price at which you purchased the property (minimum value of 2 million dirhams).
- A perfectly legible copy of your passport (scan required, no simple photo)
- Passport-size photo
- Health insurance certificate, from an insurance company established in the Emirates only (any). To apply for health insurance, please contact the Dubai Land Department at [email protected]
