Investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, qualified professionals, and exceptional talents may apply for a UAE Golden Visa, which is a long-term residence visa. The country started to issue these visas in 2019, and getting a Golden Visa as an investor formerly required AED 5 million to 10 million.
In 2022, the government approved new conditions for getting a Golden Visa in the United Arab Emirates by investment, with a reduced investment amount, no restrictions on the duration of stay in other countries and
an opportunity to buy off-plan properties and take a mortgage. The new rules came into force in October.
You may purchase real estate in the UAE for AED 2 million ($545,000) to get a 10-year Golden Visa. Another option is purchasing real estate for AED
750,000 ($204,000) to get a 2-year residence visa.
