- Investor Visa: Easier to Obtain
Investor visa: easier to obtain
The rules for obtaining a visa for the purchase of real estate under construction in Dubai have been updated.
The essence of the changes:
Investor Visa: Now available for properties at any stage of construction, subject to payment of at least $102,000.
Golden visa: issued for the purchase of real estate worth $545,000 or more, but only if the property is 50% or more complete.
What does it mean:
More opportunities: investors can obtain a UAE resident visa during the construction phase, without needing to wait for completion.
Flexibility: The option to upgrade your Investor Visa to a Golden Visa has been removed.
Clear diagram:
- Property cost $545,000, construction progress from 50% - qualifies for a Golden Visa for 10 years
- Property cost $545,000, construction progress 0–50% and $102,000 paid – eligible for an Investor Visa for 2 years
Important:
When the object is 50% ready, it is not possible to change the investor visa to a gold one. To obtain a Golden Visa, you will need to go through the application procedure again.
