Residency, Arranged Privately
The Golden Visa grants ten-year, renewable UAE residency to owners of qualifying Dubai property. It is held in your own right, extends to your household, and does not depend on an employer.
We begin with the home and arrange the residency around it. Nedra handles each step personally, in confidence, from the first conversation to your title deed.
The Golden Visa Terms
What the UAE authorities set for a property investor.
The household
Family
Spouse, children and parents
Your spouse, children and parents may be sponsored, subject to documents. Valid health insurance is required.
The residency
10 Years
Renewable, in your own right
Not tied to an employer, and exempt from the six-month absence rule. The property is retained while the visa is held.
Other routes

Retirement and property investor
A five-year retirement visa and a two-year property investor visa also exist, each with its own criteria. Nedra will advise whether either suits you.
Residency Benefits
Residency that rests on property you own gives you independence and flexibility. Dubai granted about 66,000 Golden Visas in the first half of 2026.

Your residency is tied to a home you own, not to an employer or a sponsor.
Free to Travel
Holders may stay outside the UAE for longer than the usual six months.

Golden Visa Questions
Terms are set by the authorities and may change, so we confirm the current position with you before you buy.
Can the AED 2 million be spread across more than one property?
Yes. The threshold applies to the combined value of properties registered in your name. For jointly owned property, the value of your share is what counts.
Do I have to live in the UAE to keep the visa?
You do not need to live in the UAE full time. Golden Visa holders may stay outside the UAE for longer than the usual six months that applies to standard residence visas. We confirm the current position with you.
Do I need to be in the UAE to apply?
The applicant attends in person in the UAE for the application and medical examination. We prepare the documents beforehand.
Who can be included?
Your spouse, children and parents may be sponsored, subject to the required documents.
Can I buy a home that is still being built, or use a mortgage?
Both can qualify. A home still being built must come from a developer approved by the authorities. For a mortgaged home, the bank provides a letter confirming the position. The conditions change, so we confirm them with you before you buy.
Will this affect my tax position elsewhere?
Tax residency depends on the rules of each country and on your circumstances. Please take advice from your own advisors before you buy.
How is my information handled?
Your details are handled confidentially, in line with our Privacy Policy, and go to one advisor.
