Visa Nha dau tu Bat dong san Dubai — Thuong tru 2 nam

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 and — unlike the 2-year visa — is exempt from the long-absence cancellation rule. Both are renewable. Note: years spent on the 2-year visa don't automatically upgrade you to the Golden Visa — you must independently qualify for it (e.g. an AED 2M property) and apply fresh.

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.

Yes — this isn't just a recommendation, it's a formal rule: the standard UAE rule applies, meaning more than 180 consecutive days outside the UAE automatically cancels the visa, regardless of its stated expiry date. That's the exact opposite of the 10-year Golden Visa, which is exempt from this rule. If you plan to spend most of your time outside the UAE, the Golden Visa may be a better fit.

No to both. The UAE has no separate "permanent residency" status — the only upgrade path is independently qualifying for the 10-year Golden Visa. UAE citizenship is likewise granted only via discretionary Cabinet nomination for select exceptional categories — not through years spent on this visa.

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.
