The UAE remains the regional leader with its pioneering Golden Visa program, introduced in 2019. Offering a 5 or 10-year renewable residency, it is the benchmark for long-term residency across the Gulf.  

Eligibility varies, but the most straightforward ways to obtain the UAE Golden Visa are: 

  • Purchasing property worth AED 2 million or more.

By offering the foreign residents a long-term stability, sense of belonging and confidence to build their futures in the country, the Golden Visa program has transformed the UAE into a global hub for investment, innovation, and talent
