Before You Apply: Important Considerations

Property Valuation

If the value shown on your Title Deed does not meet the required threshold, or the property’s current value needs to be established, an official property valuation may be required. Preparing the valuation in advance can help confirm your eligibility and avoid delays during the application.

Learn More About Property Valuation →

Wills & Estate Planning

As a property owner in the UAE, protecting your assets and your family’s interests is an important consideration. UAE inheritance and succession rules may differ from those in your home country. Having a properly prepared Will can help ensure your UAE assets are handled according to your wishes.

Learn More About Wills →

Document Attestation

Planning to sponsor your spouse or children? Marriage and Birth Certificates must be properly attested for UAE residence visa applications. As attestation can take time, we recommend preparing these documents in advance to avoid delays in the dependent visa process.

Learn More About Attestation →

Property Ownership Changes

If you plan to sell, transfer, gift, or refinance your property, it is important to check how the transaction may affect your residency status before proceeding. You should continue to meet the applicable property ownership and eligibility requirements throughout the validity of your investor visa.

UAE Retirement Visa FAQ

Got Questions? We’re Here to Help.

Everything you need to know about the 5-Year UAE Retirement Visa, including age requirements, property eligibility, mortgages, family sponsorship, costs, and renewal.

Applicants must generally be 55 years old or above. Under the GDRFA retirement residence criteria, the applicant must also have completed at least 15 years of service before retirement, whether inside or outside the UAE.

For the Dubai property route, you need qualifying real estate with a purchase or market value of at least AED 1 million, subject to the applicable authority requirements.

Yes. You can use one or multiple properties to meet the required AED 1 million property value, provided the qualifying properties are registered under the applicant’s name and satisfy the applicable requirements.

Yes. A husband and wife can share ownership of a qualifying property for the Retirement Visa. A certified Marriage Certificate is required to establish the relationship.

Yes, but there is an important condition. For the Dubai property route, DLD states that if the property is mortgaged, the amount paid must be at least AED 1 million, supported by a bank letter confirming the paid amount.

Property eligibility depends on the property’s registration status, documented value, and the requirements applied by DLD at the time of application. We recommend reviewing the Oqood and property payment details before confirming eligibility for an off-plan property.

The retirement residence rules allow the purchase value or market value to be considered, with the market value determined by the competent property authority. Therefore, if your property’s registered value is below AED 1 million but its current market value may exceed the threshold, an official property valuation can be relevant to establishing eligibility.

The retirement residence permit is valid for 5 years and is renewable, provided the applicant continues to meet the applicable eligibility conditions at the time of renewal.

Yes. Dubai Land Department confirms that Retirement Visa holders can sponsor their spouse, children and parents for residence permits, subject to the applicable family sponsorship requirements and supporting documents.

Eligible adult children may be sponsored under the Retirement 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.

Yes. DLD currently provides a 5-year residence permit for parents under the retiree property residence service, subject to the required sponsorship documentation and eligibility requirements.

Dubai Land Department currently lists an expected processing time of approximately 7–10 business days for its property-based retiree residence service, provided the requirements are complete.

The DLD property-retiree service states that only the applicant is required to attend the service process. Because physical procedures, including the medical examination, form part of residence issuance, applicants should plan to be in the UAE for the required in-country stages.

For the main property-based retiree applicant, Dubai Land Department currently lists government charges totaling approximately AED 6,984.75, including medical examination, 5-year Emirates ID, residence permit, DLD fees, and administrative fees. Additional service or processing charges may apply depending on how the application is handled.

No. The 5-Year Retirement Visa is a self-sponsored residence permit. GDRFA describes it as a residence permit issued to a retired foreigner without a sponsor or host inside the UAE.

No. Depending on the applicable retirement residency route, eligibility may also be established through qualifying fixed annual income or financial assets/deposits, subject to the requirements of the relevant immigration authority. GDRFA currently lists a fixed annual income threshold of AED 240,000 as one qualifying route.

Yes. The Retirement Visa is renewable for another five years, provided you continue to satisfy the applicable eligibility requirements when you apply for renewal.

Yes. We can assist with official property valuation as part of our visa services, particularly where an updated property value is required to establish your eligibility for the Retirement or Golden Visa.

If you are below 55, you will not qualify for the 5-Year Retirement Visa. However, you can instead qualify for the 2-Year Property Investor Visa, subject to the applicable property and immigration requirements.
