Questions people ask
How much property do I need for a UAE Golden Visa?
Property worth at least AED 2 million, by the Dubai Land Department’s valuation. It can be one property or several whose values add up to AED 2 million.
Can I get the Golden Visa with a mortgage?
Yes. Since February 2026 the test in Dubai is the property’s value, not how much you have paid off, so mortgaged homes qualify on their value. You need a no-objection certificate from the bank with your application.
Do off-plan properties qualify?
In Dubai, off-plan property qualifies on the same value basis. Rules differ between emirates, so check the current requirements for the emirate where you buy.
Is this an official eligibility check?
No. It applies the published rules to the values you enter. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) decides every application; confirm the requirements with them or the Dubai Land Department before you buy for a visa.
