Frequently Asked Questions
The 2-year investor visa now has no minimum property value for sole owners. The 10-year Golden Visa requires a minimum AED 2,000,000 but grants longer validity. Both are renewable; the Golden Visa has the advantage of only needing renewal every 10 years.
No. The property must be fully completed and handed over, with a final Title Deed issued by the Dubai Land Department. Off-plan properties do not qualify until completion.
Yes. You can sponsor a spouse and children under 18 with standard documentation (marriage certificate, birth certificate, health insurance). Parents can be sponsored on a separate 1-year residence permit.
To avoid automatic cancellation, it is recommended to visit the UAE at least once every 6 months. This differs from the Golden Visa (no stay requirement). If you plan to spend most of your time outside the UAE, the 10-year Golden Visa may be a better fit.
Renewals are processed through the GDRFA online portal. You must still own the property and your share value must meet the current requirements at the time of renewal. ITC iLand can assist with renewal applications.
