Everything you need to know about Investor Visas in Dubai

If you purchase or already own a property in Dubai without finance for a minimum of 750,000 AED, or if you have a property with finance that you have at least 750,000 AED equity that your bank will confirm, you can apply for an Investor Visa valid for 3 years which is renewable provided you maintain the eligibility criteria.

If you purchase or already own properties in Dubai without finance with a combined value of at least 2,000,000 AED, or if you have a property with finance that you have at least 2,000,000 AED in equity that your bank will confirm, you can apply for an Investor Visa valid for 5 years renewable provided you maintain the eligibility criteria.

Furthermore, in both instances, if you, as the property owner are able to obtain an investor visa, then you can also apply to sponsor your immediate family; husband or wife, children, and in some cases your parents.

We offer a service where we will first check your eligibility and liaise with you as the investor and the Land Department to complete the formalities of obtaining the investor visa. Contact us for more information.
