Questions and answers
Is there a minimum property value for the 2-year property visa?
According to DLD's current page, a sole owner can apply regardless of value; a co-owner needs a share of at least AED 400,000.
Is there another property-owner residence besides Taskeen?
Yes. GDRFA Dubai also issues a residence for the owner of a property: the property must be completed, habitable and fully owned by the applicant (empty plots are not included), and the applicant needs a monthly income of at least AED 10,000 or proof of financial means, with a salary certificate or contract and 6 months of bank statements. Applications go through the same DLD-accredited centres. GDRFA fees: AED 200 + Knowledge Dirham 10 + Innovation Dirham 10 + AED 20 delivery, AED 500 if inside the UAE, and AED 100 more for each year above two. Our staff will tell you which route suits you.
