A Dubai Golden Visa property investment can give you up to 10 years of UAE residency, with no employer or local sponsor required. Whether you’re considering a ready apartment, off-plan property, or mortgaged unit, Apex Skyline helps you understand the AED 2 million investment requirement, choose the right property, and navigate the process from purchase to visa approval.

A Dubai Golden Visa offers long-term residency without tying your status to an employer. It can also cover your family and allow extended time outside the UAE, making it a practical option for investors planning a long-term base in Dubai. At Apex Skyline, we help buyers find qualifying properties and understand Golden Visa costs before investing
Dubai Golden Visa requirements have widened significantly over the past two years. It’s no longer only for large investors, though property remains the most accessible and popular route, especially through a Dubai Golden Visa property investment. Eligibility now spans several categories, each with its own threshold.
For most of our clients, the real estate investor route is the simplest path: buy a qualifying property for sale at or above AED 2 million, register it with the Dubai Land Department, and apply.
Because Dubai Golden Visa requirements do change, and eligibility can depend on your personal circumstances, we recommend confirming your category and documents with a Golden Visa consultant, whether that’s our team or directly with ICP and GDRFA Dubai, before you commit to a property. This is especially true if you’re combining sources of funds, buying jointly with a spouse, or applying under a category outside real estate investment.
Most delays we see with a Dubai Golden Visa property investment come down to three things.
As a Golden Visa consultant Dubai that also handles the property side, we keep your file with one team from the first viewing to visa approval, and we can connect you with property management support afterward if you won’t be living in Dubai full time.
That matters more than it sounds: a large share of Golden Visa investors buy from abroad and only visit Dubai a few times a year, so someone still needs to handle tenant queries, maintenance, and renewals while their residency status stays active.

Once your Golden Visa application is approved, the benefits go well beyond the residency stamp itself.
These are some of the most frequently asked questions about the Dubai Golden Visa.
You buy a qualifying property, typically AED 2 million or more, register it with the Dubai Land Department, and submit your application through ICP or GDRFA Dubai. Our team can manage the property search, documentation, and submission for you from start to finish.
You generally need a single property with a Dubai Land Department registered value of AED 2 million or more. Ready, off-plan, and mortgaged properties can all qualify, though the exact documentation and conditions are updated periodically, so it’s worth confirming your specific case before you buy.
Beyond the AED 2 million property Golden Visa, there are government processing and typing fees that vary by case. We give clients a clear, itemized Dubai Golden Visa cost breakdown once we know their property and category, rather than quoting a flat number that may not apply.
Yes, you can. Your off-plan property must be worth at least AED 2 million. You also need an official Oqood contract from the Dubai Land Department.
The visa lasts for 10 years. You can renew it as long as you still meet the rules. Just keep meeting the ownership rules. If you sell the property before renewal, buy another qualifying asset first. That keeps your visa active without any gaps.
Not necessarily. Apex Skyline coordinates the property purchase, the required documentation, and the visa submission as part of the same service, so most clients don’t need to manage a separate typing center themselves. We’ll tell you upfront if your case needs additional legal input.
No. There’s no mandatory minimum stay requirement, which gives investors more flexibility than a standard UAE residency visa. This is particularly useful for overseas investors who want the residency status and the investment property, but don’t plan to relocate full time.
