Mortgaged Properties

Mortgaged properties may qualify when the mortgage is provided by a UAE national bank and the investor’s net capital or equity in the property is at least AED 2 million.

For example, if a property is valued at AED 5 million, the outstanding mortgage principal should generally not exceed AED 3 million. A property valuation certificate, search certificate and bank-related supporting documents may be required.

Off-Plan Properties

Off-plan properties purchased from approved developers may also qualify. Applicants generally need to provide:

Frequently Asked Questions – Abu Dhabi Golden Visa

The Abu Dhabi Property Golden Visa is a renewable 10-year UAE residence permit available to eligible investors who own or have invested in qualifying real estate in Abu Dhabi. It may also allow the investor to sponsor eligible family members.

The applicant must generally hold a qualifying real estate investment of at least AED 2 million. The authority will assess the registered property value, ownership share, amount paid and outstanding mortgage, where applicable.

The Golden Visa is generally valid for 10 years and may be renewed if the investor continues to meet the applicable eligibility requirements.

Multiple properties may potentially be considered when calculating the total qualifying investment, subject to their registration, ownership status and acceptance by the relevant Abu Dhabi authorities.

Yes. A mortgaged property may qualify when the financing is provided by a UAE national bank and the investor’s qualifying capital or equity in the property is at least AED 2 million.

For example, if a property is valued at AED 5 million and the outstanding mortgage is AED 3 million, the investor’s equity would be AED 2 million.

The applicant may be asked to provide:

  • An official Real Estate Unit Value Certificate
  • A property search certificate
  • A bank mortgage statement
  • A bank NOC or liability letter
  • Evidence of the outstanding mortgage balance
  • Additional documents requested by the relevant authority

Yes. An off-plan property purchased from an approved developer may qualify if the applicant can provide the purchase agreement and evidence that at least AED 2 million has been paid to the developer.

Not necessarily. The authority may assess the amount actually paid rather than relying only on the total contract value. An updated developer statement of account and payment evidence may therefore be required.

A jointly owned property may be considered, but the applicant’s individual ownership share and qualifying investment will be reviewed. If the applicant’s share is below AED 2 million, additional property or evidence may be required.

Cases involving properties jointly owned by married spouses may require an attested marriage certificate and further authority assessment.

An official property valuation may be considered where the current value differs from the original purchase price. The valuation must be issued by the Department of Municipalities and Transport or another competent authority accepted for the application.

Online listings, broker estimates and property advertisements are not substitutes for an official valuation certificate.

Applicants may be required to provide:

  • Passport copy and passport cover page
  • Recent passport-size photograph
  • Registered property purchase agreement; or
  • Official Real Estate Unit Value Certificate
  • Current UAE visa or entry record, where applicable
  • Any additional property or personal documents requested by the authority

Yes. Applicants residing outside the UAE may begin the nomination process through the channel specified by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office. Additional entry and residency-completion procedures may apply after initial approval.

UAE residents may submit their Golden Visa nomination through the Abu Dhabi Residents Office using the relevant TAMM service.

Personal attendance may be required to complete certain stages, including:

  • Medical fitness testing
  • Emirates ID biometrics
  • Original-document verification
  • Identity or immigration-file verification

The exact requirements depend on the applicant’s age, location and existing UAE immigration records.

Applicants who fall within the required age group must complete the UAE medical fitness test. It normally includes a blood test and chest X-ray.

Biometrics are generally required for first-time Emirates ID applicants and may also be requested when existing biometric records need to be renewed or updated.

Yes. An approved Golden Visa holder may sponsor eligible family members, including a spouse and children, subject to current immigration requirements.

Golden Visa holders may sponsor domestic support workers in accordance with the prevailing UAE immigration and domestic-worker regulations.

Valid health insurance is required as part of the residence issuance process. The required coverage and premium depend on the applicant’s age, medical declaration and selected insurance plan.

Processing time depends on the property type, valuation, mortgage status, document completeness, nomination approval, medical fitness, biometrics and government review. No processing period can be guaranteed because final approval rests with the competent authorities.

Common causes of delay include:

  • Differences between passport and property records
  • An unclear ownership share
  • Missing mortgage or bank documents
  • An insufficient paid amount for an off-plan property
  • Missing or expired property valuation documents
  • Incomplete family-document attestation
  • Additional immigration or security checks
  • Requests for further information by the authorities

This category is intended for qualifying Abu Dhabi real estate investments. Properties registered in another emirate are normally processed through the relevant authority and Golden Visa procedure for that emirate.

Selling or transferring the qualifying property may affect continued eligibility. Investors should confirm the immigration consequences before changing the ownership or mortgage status of the property.

No. Meeting the investment threshold establishes potential eligibility but does not guarantee approval. Every application remains subject to document verification, immigration checks and the final decision of the competent UAE authorities.

Brightlink Management Consultancy can assist with:

  • Preliminary eligibility assessment
  • Review of fully owned, mortgaged and off-plan properties
  • Property, valuation and bank-document verification
  • Golden Visa application preparation
  • Medical fitness and biometrics coordination
  • Applications for spouses and children
  • MOFA attestation and Arabic legal translation
  • Follow-up with the relevant authorities
