UAE Golden Visa: Investors can get long-term residency from real estate developers

Foreigners investing in real estate in the UAE can get the coveted Golden Visa directly through developers. According to industry experts, obtaining a long-term residence permit is a simple and understandable matter.

The whole process takes less than two weeks, and all processing fees are paid by the developer. As soon as clients choose a project, they have to transfer money through escrow. Then the developer will register their ownership and apply for a Golden Visa. To complete the process, the applicant must submit documentation, including proof of investment and passport data.

If a Golden Visa is needed for their family, investors need to provide other documents, such as marriage certificates and birth certificates of children. 

Real estate investors can obtain long-term residency when buying a property worth at least 2 million dirhams.
