Conditions, time and validity

  • Property purchase value of AED 2 million or more at the time of purchase; one or more properties, fully in the applicant's name.
  • Mortgaged property allowed with a bank letter; the DLD page says the letter must show at least AED 2 million paid (see uncertainties).
  • Applicant must be inside the UAE, attend in person (original passport and ID); escorts and representatives are not allowed.
  • Spouse and children can be added; parents with a dependency certificate.
  • Both residents and visitors may apply (DLD lists resident and visiting foreign investors), but the applicant must be inside the UAE when applying.
  • Family: sons and daughters over 18 need an undertaking that they are not married; sponsored family members need health insurance (DLD).
Processing time
DLD: 7-10 business days.
Validity of the result
10 years, renewable.
Where it is applied for
DLD centres for golden visa services (DLD page, updated 30 Sep 2026): Al Manara Center (Cube), Golden Cube at Dubai World Trade Centre, and the DLD-authorised registration agents EGSH Real Estate Registration Agent, Alyalayis Real Estate Registration Trustee Services and Gulf Vision Real Estate Registration Agent. GDRFA's golden investors page names the same accredited centres for real-estate applications. Payment by bank transfer, card or cash.

Steps at the authority

  1. Visit a DLD service centre (or authorised agent) with the documents.
  2. Submit requirements and pay the package fees.
  3. Complete the medical examination.
  4. Residence permit sent by email; Emirates ID delivered.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Bring the original passport and Emirates ID; DLD does not accept representatives.
  • Attest Iranian marriage and birth certificates before the appointment (official translation, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the UAE Embassy in Tehran, then UAE MOFA).
  • Compare the DLD package with the GDRFA/Amer golden visa route; the package already includes medical and Emirates ID.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • Purchase value under AED 2 million, or property not in the applicant's own name.
  • Mortgaged property without the bank letter showing the paid amount.
  • Applicant outside the UAE or sends a representative.
  • Family documents not attested (marriage/birth certificates).

Questions and answers

Which is better: DLD route or GDRFA/Amer route?

Both lead to the same 10-year golden residence. DLD is a one-stop package for property owners; the GDRFA route may differ in cost and documents. Our staff will compare for your case.

Checked by the MARIO E.G.S.H team on 2026-11-01. Rules can change at any time; our consultant confirms the details for your case.

Eligibility

  • What was the purchase value of your Dubai property (or properties together), in AED?

    The DLD golden visa needs a property purchase value of at least AED 2 million. The 2-year property investor visa may fit instead.

  • Will you be inside the UAE when applying and able to attend in person?

    DLD requires the applicant to be inside the UAE and to attend. You can first enter on a visit visa or the 6-month golden entry visa.

Legal basis

Federal Decree-Law No. 29 of 2021; Cabinet Resolution No. 65 of 2022.
