FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
UAE Golden Visa — Frequently Asked Questions
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residence visa valid for ten years, renewable on the same terms, available to qualifying investors, entrepreneurs, skilled professionals, and exceptional talent. Unlike a standard employment or investor visa, the Golden Visa is self-sponsored — it does not depend on an employer or a business partner and does not lapse if employment ends. Holders can also sponsor family members regardless of the standard salary thresholds.
Property investors with a property valued at AED 2,000,000 or more — held directly or through a mortgage with a paid-up value of at least AED 2 million — can qualify. Business investors who have a current or planned investment of AED 2 million or more in a UAE business, or who own an established company with a minimum annual turnover of AED 1 million, may also qualify. Specific documentation is required to evidence the investment.
Skilled professionals in fields deemed strategically important to the UAE can qualify, including doctors, engineers, scientists, IT specialists, and professionals in education, culture, and creative industries. Eligibility criteria include a minimum salary threshold, a relevant bachelor's or higher degree, recognition by the relevant UAE professional authority, and, for some categories, employment in the UAE in the qualifying field.
Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouse, children (including sons up to 25 years of age and unmarried daughters of any age), and domestic staff, without the standard salary-based sponsorship requirements that apply under normal family visa rules. Family members' visas are linked to the holder's status and carry the same ten-year validity.
The UAE Golden Visa does not carry the standard 180-day continuous-absence rule that applies to ordinary residence visas. Golden Visa holders can remain outside the UAE for extended periods without their residency lapsing. This makes the Golden Visa particularly attractive for those who divide their time between the UAE and other countries while maintaining UAE residency status.
