Golden Visa potential
UAE real estate investments with a total value of at least AED 2 million may support an application for long term Golden Residency when the current authority requirements are met. For off-plan property in Abu Dhabi, the Abu Dhabi Residents Office lists additional documentation and payment conditions. A purchase price above the threshold does not guarantee approval.
