A source reports that, from April 29, 2026, Dubai removed the minimum property-value threshold for obtaining a two-year residence visa. It states that the 10-year Golden Visa through property investment still requires an investment of at least AED 2,000,000.
According to the source, the change lowers the stated financial threshold for investors seeking a two-year residence visa through property ownership. This may broaden the choice of eligible properties and reduce the funds needed to start the process, while the 10-year Golden Visa remains tied to an investment of at least AED 2 million. The development primarily affects non-residents and investors considering property purchase as their residence route. It is worth noting for anyone planning this pathway and preparing an application under the updated conditions.
