Residence visa for real estate investors. Requires property ownership valued at minimum AED 750,000. Valid 2 years, renewable.
The Property Owner Visa - 2 Years is a residency permit specifically designed for real estate investors who wish to secure a long-term presence in the United Arab Emirates. This visa is granted to individuals who purchase qualifying residential property in the UAE, providing them with the right to live in the country without the need for traditional employment sponsorship. It is a popular choice for international investors looking to leverage the UAE's robust real estate market while enjoying the benefits of residency, including access to local services and the ability to sponsor immediate family members, thereby fostering a stable and secure environment for property owners.
Eligibility for this visa requires the applicant to own a completed, freehold residential property with a minimum value of 750,000 AED. The property must be registered in the applicant's name, and in cases of joint ownership, the applicant's share must meet the minimum threshold. Applicants must also provide proof of financial stability, typically demonstrated by a minimum income or sufficient savings, and maintain valid health insurance throughout the residency period. The visa is renewable every two years, provided the investor continues to hold the property, making it a sustainable pathway for those seeking to maintain a long-term, investment-linked connection to the UAE.
Visas you can typically switch to from this status.
