How to Get a 2-Year Investor Visa

There are two main pathways to secure your 2-year investor visa. Let’s break them down for you:

1. By Investing in Property

Are you eyeing Dubai’s luxury real estate? Here’s your chance to own a piece of it and secure a 2-year investor visa!

To qualify, you’ll need to invest at least AED 750,000 ($200,000) in real estate.

Documents Required:

1. Passport
2. Title deed or e-Certificate of Title
3. Personal photo
4. Health insurance
5. Emirates ID (if applicable)
6. Copy of entry or resident visa (if you’re already in the UAE)
7. Certificate of good conduct addressed to the Dubai Land Department

Key Guidelines:

1. The property value must be at least AED 750,000.
2. If the property is mortgaged, you’ll need to pay 50% of its value or AED 750,000, whichever is higher. A no-objection letter from the bank is also required.
3. If you and your spouse jointly own the property, its total value must still be AED 750,000 or more, and a certified marriage contract must be provided.
