6 Common questions
Golden Visa FAQ
Can I sponsor my parents with a Golden Visa?
Yes. Golden Visa holders can sponsor their parents for a full 10-year residency term — a significant advantage over standard residency visas, which typically only allow 1-year renewable visas for parents.
Do I have to enter the UAE every 6 months to keep my Golden Visa?
No. Unlike a standard residence visa, a Golden Visa holder does not need to enter the UAE every 6 months to keep it valid. Your 10-year visa stays active even if you remain outside the country for longer than six months.
Can I apply if my property is off-plan or mortgaged?
Yes. Off-plan is accepted provided you hold the Oqood from the Dubai Land Department. Mortgaged properties are also accepted, but you'll need an NOC or official hold letter from your bank. In all cases your total investment share must meet the AED 2 million threshold.
Do I need an employment contract to be eligible?
It depends on your category. As a Property Owner, Company Owner, or via Fixed Deposit, you do not need UAE employment. Under the Manager / Executive route, you must have a valid UAE employment contract with a basic salary of at least AED 30,000 per month.
