Property Visa FAQ

Got Questions? We’re Here to Help.

Answers to the most common questions from UAE property owners and investors.

For sole ownership, there is no minimum property value requirement for the 2-Year Property Investor Visa, subject to the property meeting the applicable eligibility requirements. For joint ownership, each applicant must hold a registered share valued at a minimum of AED 400,000. For the 10-Year Golden Visa, the qualifying property portfolio must be valued at AED 2 million or more.

The 2-Year Property Investor Visa provides renewable residency based on eligible property ownership and offers a more accessible entry point for property owners. The 10-Year Golden Visa requires a qualifying property portfolio of at least AED 2 million and provides longer-term residency with additional sponsorship and residency benefits.

Yes, mortgaged properties may qualify. For the Golden Visa, properties with an outstanding mortgage can be considered, subject to the applicable requirements and a No Objection Certificate or confirmation from the financing bank. For the 2-Year Property Investor Visa, eligibility is subject to DLD requirements and supporting mortgage documentation.

For the 2-Year Property Investor Visa, the property generally needs to be completed and registered with a Title Deed. For the Golden Visa, eligible off-plan properties may qualify based on the registered property value and supporting documents, such as the Oqood, Sale and Purchase Agreement, or developer statement.

The total cost depends on the applicant’s circumstances and required processing. Fees generally include the Police Clearance Certificate, DLD processing, Special Purpose License, Establishment Card, immigration procedures, medical examination, Emirates ID, residence visa issuance, and applicable service charges.

Yes. Joint ownership between husband and wife is accepted, subject to the applicable property value requirements and submission of a properly attested Marriage Certificate. For the 2-Year Property Investor Visa, each qualifying ownership share must meet the applicable minimum value requirement.

Yes. Multiple eligible properties may be considered as part of your property portfolio, subject to the requirements of the selected residency category. This can be particularly useful for investors seeking to meet the AED 2 million property threshold for the Golden Visa.

Yes. Golden Visa holders are generally exempt from the standard rule that can invalidate ordinary UAE residence permits after remaining outside the country for more than six consecutive months.

Yes. Property Investor Visa holders can sponsor eligible family members, including their spouse and children, subject to the applicable immigration requirements. Each dependent requires a separate residence application and supporting documentation.

Eligible adult children may be sponsored under the Golden Visa family provisions, subject to the applicable rules. Requirements can differ for sons and unmarried daughters, so eligibility should be checked before applying.

Eligible family members may generally remain in the UAE until the expiry of their existing residence permits, subject to the applicable immigration rules and any requirements imposed by the relevant authority.

Your Property Investor Visa is linked to maintaining the qualifying property ownership. Selling, gifting, transferring, or otherwise changing ownership of the qualifying property may affect your continued eligibility. It is recommended to review your residency position before completing any property transaction to avoid disruption to your visa status.

No. The Golden Visa provides self-sponsored long-term residency. However, applicants applying under an employment-based professional category must still meet that category’s employment, salary and occupational requirements.

A Property Investor Visa provides UAE residency independently of an employer. However, taking up employment may require the appropriate work permit or employment authorization. Your residency status and your authorization to work are separate regulatory requirements.

Yes. Depending on the category, parts of the application and eligibility process can be started while you are outside the UAE. You may then need to enter the UAE to complete requirements such as the medical examination, biometrics and Emirates ID process.

They refer to the same UAE long-term residency framework. The main difference is the processing authority. Dubai applications are generally handled through Dubai’s relevant authorities, while applications in other emirates are generally processed through the federal ICP system.

Yes. Golden Visas are renewable, provided you continue to satisfy the eligibility requirements applicable to your category at the time of renewal.

Applications are processed through the relevant UAE authority depending on your emirate and eligibility category. For example, Dubai applications may involve GDRFA Dubai or Dubai Land Department, while federal applications are generally handled through ICP. Brightlink can manage the process from eligibility assessment and document preparation through approval, medical examination, Emirates ID and residence issuance.

Biometric enrolment is generally required from the age of 15 years, provided the applicant has not previously completed biometrics.

Yes. Whenever possible, appointments can be arranged at the nearest available government-approved centre, depending on your location and appointment availability.

Health insurance requirements vary between Emirates. Some Emirates require insurance before visa issuance or renewal, while others have different procedures. We will advise you based on your application.

Residence visa approval is always subject to the relevant immigration authority. If an application is refused, we review the reason for rejection, advise on the available options and assist with correcting any issues before reapplying where possible.

Yes. Golden Visa holders enjoy additional sponsorship benefits, including no minimum salary requirement for sponsoring eligible family members, longer residence validity and more flexible sponsorship conditions compared with standard residence visa holders.
