The two and three bedroom tiers. Two bedroom apartments start at AED 2.73M ≈ USD 743K and three bedroom apartments at AED 4.24M ≈ USD 1.15M, so either one clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment on its own. One bedroom apartments start at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K, which sits below that minimum. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the individual unit, under the regulations in force at the time of application. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

The property route to the 10 year residency is measured against a minimum registered value of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and the one bedroom tier starts at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K. The gap is narrow in percentage terms, but the threshold is a hard line rather than a guideline, and a floor level or aspect premium on an individual one bedroom unit cannot be assumed to close it. Buyers whose priority is residency start their shortlist at the two bedroom tier.

The property investor route allows the visa holder to sponsor a spouse and children, and household staff, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. Dependants are sponsored on the main holder's file, so their residency runs with the main visa and is affected by anything that changes it. Sponsorship scope is covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The current term of the property investor Golden Visa is 10 years, renewable. Renewal depends on the qualifying conditions still being satisfied at that point, which on the property route means continuing to hold property that meets the requirements then in force. Because those requirements are updated from time to time, the position at renewal is judged against the rules current on that date rather than the rules that applied at purchase.

In outline: the purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department, the ownership record is issued as Oqood registration during construction and as a title deed after handover, evidence of the registered value is prepared, the application is submitted with passport, photograph, medical screening and Emirates ID biometrics, and residency is issued once the application is approved. Timelines and document lists vary with the applicant profile and the procedures in force. The sequence is set out step by step in the Dubai Golden Visa application guide.

Off-plan applications are commonly supported by Oqood registration together with evidence that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Those conditions are updated from time to time, so the current requirement is confirmed before submitting rather than assumed. Buyers who prefer the simplest possible file wait for handover in September 2028, when the title deed is issued and the application rests on completed, registered ownership. The two routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The value registered with the Dubai Land Department, not an asking price or a marketing figure. For an apartment still under construction that is the value on the registered sale and purchase agreement; after handover it is the value on the title deed. Where a valuation certificate is requested, it is issued against the same registered record, which is why the contract value on the individual apartment decides eligibility rather than the tier price in a price list.

No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.
