Clarifying the residency visa rules for property investors
Every time I try to look up the current investor visa thresholds in Dubai, I find three different answers from three different sources. The 2 million AED property requirement keeps coming up but nobody explains whether off-plan counts or only ready units. Starting to feel like this information is intentionally scattered.

Re: Clarifying the residency visa rules for property investors
When I was sorting through the paperwork at the land department office in Dubai Marina, I noticed the threshold sitting at 750,000 AED for the two-year visa, though I am not entirely certain whether that figure still applies to off-plan purchases the same way it does for completed ones. The ten-year golden visa requires a property value of at least 2,000,000 AED and seems more straightforward in terms of eligibility.

Re: Clarifying the residency visa rules for property investors
Several months ago, the rules were updated, making the purchase of off-plan property a viable option for obtaining an investor visa in the UAE, provided the paid portion of the property price meets a minimum threshold. In Dubai, the Land Department issues a certificate confirming the payment amount, which is verified by the immigration service. A structured description of the current requirements, as well as detailed information about real estate, is available here
