The UAE Golden Visa program continues to attract global investors looking for long-term residency benefits. In 2025, updated property thresholds and simplified eligibility requirements are making it easier for buyers to secure a 10-year residency through real estate investment.

To qualify, investors typically need to purchase property valued at or above the required threshold set by UAE authorities. Off-plan and ready properties both qualify, provided the investment value meets the minimum criteria. Multiple properties can also be combined to reach the required amount.

The Golden Visa offers significant advantages: long-term residency without a sponsor, the ability to sponsor family members, extended stay options outside the UAE, and streamlined business operations.

With Dubai’s continuous property price growth and strong rental market, many investors are purchasing homes both for residency and high returns. As more developers launch Golden Visa–eligible projects, the process is expected to become even more accessible in 2025.
