2.2.4.1.2 Residency Rights

يسري تنفيذه من تاريخ 16/6/2021

Owners of freehold properties above a certain value may obtain an investor visa that grants them limited residency rights in the UAE. The larger the value of the property, the longer the length of the visa. Visa rules are set by the UAE federal government through Cabinet Resolution (56) of 2018 on Regulating the Residence Permits for Investors, Entrepreneurs and Specialised Talents, and thus apply to all emirates:

	•	Ownership of a property worth at least AED 1 million comes with a six-month multi-entry visa. Dubai will grant a three-year renewable residency visa in such circumstances.
	•	An individual who purchases a property of at least AED 5 million and retains it for three years is entitled to a five year residency visa.
	•	An individual who purchases a property of at least AED 10 million without a mortgage or other loan and retains it for three years is entitled to a ten year residency visa.
