"Updated rules on the AED 2M minimum threshold, off-plan eligibility, mortgage combinations, and family sponsorship benefits for international property owners."
Eligibility Criteria Simplified
Under the latest UAE ICP & Dubai Land Department (DLD) directives, foreign property buyers can secure a 10-Year Renewable Golden Visa under streamlined conditions:
- AED 2,000,000 Minimum Value: Can be a single property or cumulative across multiple properties.
- Off-Plan Eligibility: Properties under construction qualify provided the total contract value is AED 2M+ and the developer confirms milestone compliance with the DLD.
- Mortgaged Properties: Eligible with proof of minimum required equity or bank NOC.
Our advisory practice coordinates directly with accredited DLD trustees and legal partners to handle document attestation, medical fitness, Emirates ID issuance, and family sponsorship seamlessly.
