Getting your UAE residency through property ownership is a structured, multi-step process, here’s exactly what you need to do, from purchase to visa stamping.
Invest in a completed residential property worth at least AED 750,000 in a designated freehold area. If the property is mortgaged, ensure that 50% or more of its value is paid and secure a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the financing bank.
Prepare your passport, property title deed, passport-sized photo, valid health insurance, and police clearance certificate issued by Dubai Police. If you’re applying jointly (e.g., with a spouse), include the marriage certificate. For mortgaged properties, attach the NOC from the bank.
File your visa application through the Dubai Land Department (DLD) or an approved service center like Cube or Al Manara. Submit all documents and pay the visa processing fee. Ensure documents are complete and translated into Arabic if necessary.
Visit an authorized medical center for a health check (blood test and chest X-ray). Then proceed to an Emirates ID center to submit biometric data including fingerprints and a photo.
Once your application is approved, your residency visa will be stamped in your passport or issued electronically. Your Emirates ID will follow shortly after, giving you full legal residency with access to banking, housing, healthcare, and more.
