Your 10-year UAE Golden Visa, through property
Invest AED 2 million (around £430,000) in Dubai or UAE property and secure a renewable 10-year residency for you and your family. DMK Estate guides UK buyers through every step — at registered-partner pricing, with zero commission from you.
What is the UAE Golden Visa?
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency permit that lets you live, work and study in the United Arab Emirates without a national sponsor. For property investors, a purchase of AED 2 million or more qualifies you for a renewable 10-year visa — one of the most accessible residency-by-investment routes in the world.
Unlike European schemes that have tightened or closed, the UAE route is backed by a real, income-generating asset in a market with no personal income tax and no annual property tax. You keep the property; the residency renews alongside it.

UAE Golden Visa: your questions answered
How do I get a UAE Golden Visa through property?
Buy a property in the UAE worth AED 2 million (about £430,000) or more. The purchase qualifies you for a renewable 10-year UAE Golden Visa. It can be a single property or, in many cases, a combination of properties reaching the threshold, including off-plan bought from an approved developer through an escrow account.
How much do I need to invest for a Dubai Golden Visa?
The property investment route requires a minimum of AED 2 million (approximately £430,000). There is no maximum, and the property can be residential or commercial, ready or off-plan, provided it is registered in your name and meets the Land Department requirements.
How long is the UAE Golden Visa valid?
The property-based Golden Visa is issued for 10 years and is renewable as long as you continue to hold qualifying property. Unlike earlier visas, you are not required to live in the UAE full-time to keep it valid.
Can my family be included in the Golden Visa?
Yes. A Golden Visa holder can sponsor their spouse and children (with no age limit for children in most cases), and can also sponsor parents and domestic staff. Dependents receive residency for the same duration as the main applicant.
Can I get a Golden Visa with an off-plan property?
Yes, off-plan properties bought from an approved developer can qualify, provided the value meets the AED 2 million threshold and payments are made through a government-regulated escrow account. DMK Estate will confirm eligibility for any specific project before you commit.
Do I need to live in the UAE to keep the Golden Visa?
No. The Golden Visa does not carry a minimum-stay requirement, so you can keep your life and business in the UK while holding UAE residency. You simply need to enter the UAE at least once every six months to keep the visa active.

Property values and rental income can go down as well as up. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Buyers should seek independent legal, tax and financial advice before purchasing.
