Common Questions

Golden Visa FAQ

Can I combine two properties to reach AED 2M?

Yes. Multiple properties in the same or different emirates can be combined for a single Golden Visa application.

Does the Golden Visa give me UAE citizenship?

No. It provides 10-year renewable residency, not citizenship. You get full rights to live, work and do business in the UAE without a local sponsor.

What happens to my visa if I sell the property?

The visa is tied to the property. If you sell, the visa can be cancelled. You can transfer it to a new qualifying property.

Can I get a mortgage on a Golden Visa property?

Yes. Your equity portion must meet AED 2M. Non-residents can borrow up to 50% LTV; residents up to 80% LTV.

Which areas in Abu Dhabi qualify?

All freehold designated investment zones qualify, including Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, Al Reem Island, Al Raha Beach and others.
