Can buying property qualify me for a UAE Golden Visa? Yes — investing in UAE real estate at or above AED 2 million can make you eligible for a 10-year renewable Golden Visa, and a property-linked route exists from AED 750,000 for a 2-year investor residency.
The two property routes
- 10-year Golden Visa — for property investment at or above AED 2 million. Renewable, and it covers your spouse and children.
- 2-year investor visa — available from around AED 750,000 of property value, renewable while you hold the asset.
Both off-plan and ready property can count, subject to the current rules and the value held in your name. Multiple properties can sometimes be combined to reach the threshold.
Who it covers
The Golden Visa extends to your spouse and children, and allows sponsorship of household staff — making it a genuine family relocation and Plan-B residency, not just a permit.
Why RAK for a Golden-Visa purchase
Ras Al Khaimah lets you reach the AED 2M threshold with a larger, better-located asset than the equivalent budget in Dubai — often a beachfront apartment or villa on Al Marjan Island near the new Wynn resort. That means residency and stronger growth potential from the same outlay.
