How Can You Get an Investment Visa in Dubai?

1. Investing in a Property.

You can get the investment visa in Dubai when you invest in a property; here are the rules and conditions that should be met: 


If you will buy a property on your own, its value should be at least AED 1 million and max 50% under mortgage.
In case you bought a property in partnership, then the minimum share of each individual should be AED 1 million
It should be a residential property, not a commercial one
You can’t apply for this visa if you will invest in an off-plan property; it should be a free hold one. 
2. Investing in a Company.

This one is for those who want to open or invest in a business in Dubai’s mainland or its free zones. It’s also known as Dubai’s 3-year investor visa.

You can get the investment visa in Dubai in case you’ll start a company with a minimum capital of AED 72,000 or have a share in a company with the same amount.

For those who have their companies in the free zone areas in Dubai, they don’t need local partners. Not just that, they’re free from taxes and have complete ownership of their business.

However, the process of getting the visa might differ according to various factors like the location of the free zone and the type of the business.

3. Applying for a Retirement Visa.

If you’ve been investing in Dubai and your age is above 55 years old, then you’re eligible for the investment visa in Dubai.

You can get the retirement visa when you invest in a residential property with a minimum value of AED 2 million. 

4. Applying for a Golden Visa.

This category gives the investors a 5 year or 10 year long stay if they meet the conditions. However, as an investor, in order to get a Dubai investment visa there’s a minimum amount of funds you should have to be eligible.

You have to meet any of the below requirements if you’re wondering how to get a 10-year investment visa in Dubai.
