Selected public-investment or property categories

Before you decide

Confirm the exact emirate, investment category, ownership evidence and permit duration.

Duration and evidence depend on the category and issuing authority. Property and public-investment rules differ; fees and insurance are additional. Figures are not a full quotation or a guarantee of approval.

Sources reviewed 14 October 2026. Confirm current terms before applying.

YOUR DESTINATION, IN FOCUS

Choose the category before choosing the investment.

Golden Residency is a renewable long-term UAE residence status. Five- or ten-year terms depend on the category and relevant authority; it does not grant UAE citizenship.

Start with your objectives and compare the route against your family’s circumstances. A shortlist helps focus the discussion; it does not establish eligibility.
