The Golden Visa route through Dubai property, explained
The 10-year residency thresholds, paperwork and pitfalls — laid out in plain language.
A property investment above AED 2 million now unlocks the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa. The property must be complete (or a mortgage-free portion of AED 2M+ must be equity), and the applicant must produce a title deed, an initial-approval letter from ICP, and a valid medical. Point Penta manages the end-to-end process for most private-client mandates — turnaround is typically 4-6 weeks from title-deed issuance.
Point Penta’s research desk publishes editorial market analysis every week. If you’re looking at property in Dubai, an advisor will share the full sales pack — inventory, comparables and the current pricing band — within one business day.
