UAE Golden Visa Eligibility Check

Dubai (GDRFA) grants 10 years for AED 2M+ property, mortgages accepted with a bank NOC and off-plan from approved developers allowed. The federal ICP service formally lists a 5-year investor visa and stricter loan wording — so route and emirate matter. Apply via DLD/GDRFA channels for Dubai property.

Yes — the threshold applies to your combined title-deed value, and joint ownership with a spouse can also count when properly documented.

Yes — a bachelor's degree or equivalent, an active employment contract, and a MOHRE professional level 1–2 classification, alongside the AED 30,000+ monthly salary.

Yes — spouse, children and support staff can be sponsored for the same duration. If the main holder passes away, family members keep their residency until it expires.

No — it's self-sponsored residency, not tied to an employer. That independence (plus no 6-month-abroad cancellation rule and a 180-day grace after expiry) is the core benefit.

Government fees for the visa itself are around AED 1,640 (Dubai investor route), and the realistic all-in figure with Emirates ID and medical tests is roughly AED 4,100–4,800. Property routes add DLD administrative fees.

Yes — teachers and education leaders in Dubai are nominated via KHDA (annual window around October–December), Dubai Health nurses with 15+ years of service were added in 2025, and content creators apply through the Creators HQ programme. Each runs on nomination/excellence criteria rather than salary.
