Property investment remains one of the most direct routes to a UAE Golden Visa, and interest from Vista Real Estate clients in this pathway has grown steadily alongside Ajman’s rising transaction values. Under current rules, investors who purchase completed or off-plan property with a minimum value of AED 2 million — whether through a single property or a portfolio — may qualify for a 10-year renewable residency visa, extendable to spouses and children.
- Property can be purchased outright or with a mortgage from an approved UAE lender, subject to a minimum equity threshold
- Off-plan property from an approved developer can qualify, provided the value meets the AED 2 million threshold
- Joint ownership between spouses can be combined to meet the minimum investment value
- The visa does not require the holder to reside in the UAE full-time, unlike standard employment visas
Because eligibility rules and approved-developer lists are updated periodically by federal and local authorities, Vista Real Estate recommends confirming current criteria with a licensed advisor before finalising a purchase intended for Golden Visa qualification — and our team can guide clients to the right documentation at every stage.
