Conditions, time and validity

  • Valuation must come from a DLD certificate (or a DLD-licensed valuer).
  • GDRFA requires a hold (حجز) on the property to keep ownership for the whole residence; the property may not be sold or disposed of during the 10 years.
  • Mortgaged property is accepted and all types of properties are included (GDRFA); for jointly owned property, the applicant's share must be at least AED 2 million.
  • Applicant must be able to support self and family without government support, and hold valid health insurance.
  • Golden residence holders are exempt from the 180-day stay-abroad rule: the residence lapses only if it expires while the holder is outside the UAE (GDRFA).
Processing time
GDRFA states 5 days for the permit, plus time for medical test and Emirates ID.
Validity of the result
10 years, renewable while the conditions are still met.
Where it is applied for
GDRFA's golden investors page states that real-estate applications are submitted through the DLD-accredited centres: Al Tarash Centre, Gulf Vision, Golden Cube, Al Yalayis and EGSH. Other golden categories use GDRFA's digital channels (24/7) and Amer centres. Since the April 2026 GDRFA-DLD MoU, golden, retiree and property residency are being merged into one GDRFA channel (no date published).

Steps at the authority

  1. Client provides passport, title deed/Oqood and bank NOC if mortgaged.
  2. Centre obtains the DLD property status / valuation certificate.
  3. Golden residence application submitted through a DLD-accredited centre (for the real-estate category) and fees paid.
  4. Client does the medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics.
  5. Residence issued (electronic) and Emirates ID delivered.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Get the DLD valuation first; it decides eligibility before any visa fee is paid.
  • Several properties can be combined to reach AED 2 million.
  • If you are abroad, ICP can issue a 6-month multiple-entry visa to come and complete the golden residency.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • Valuation below AED 2 million (purchase price is not automatically the accepted value).
  • Joint ownership where the applicant's share is under AED 2 million.
  • Missing bank NOC for a mortgaged property, or the bank refuses the hold.
  • Ownership through a company rather than in the applicant's own name (staff to verify company-owned cases).
  • No valid health insurance, or medical fitness result unfit.

Questions and answers

Does a mortgaged or off-plan property count?

Mortgaged property is accepted by GDRFA, and ICP accepts bank financing from an approved local bank and off-plan purchases from approved developers. DLD's own page still mentions a bank letter showing the amount paid; our staff will confirm your case.

Can I sell the property after I get the golden visa?

GDRFA places a hold on the property and does not allow disposing of it during the residence. Selling it means you no longer meet the condition.

Eligibility

  • What is the total value of the property (or properties) you own in the UAE, in AED?

    The 10-year golden visa for property owners needs a total property value of at least AED 2 million. A property-owner (investor) visa for 2 years may still be possible.

Legal basis

Federal Decree-Law No. 29 of 2021; Cabinet Resolution No. 65 of 2022 (golden residence chapter), as amended.
