UAE Golden Visa & Residency by Investment — Your Gateway to Dubai

Dubai and the wider UAE offer one of the world’s most attractive routes to long-term residency through investment. While the UAE does not offer citizenship by investment, its landmark Golden Visa grants a renewable 10-year residency to property investors, entrepreneurs, and skilled professionals — with zero personal income tax and full family sponsorship. As an Istanbul-based brokerage with strong UAE developer partnerships, UInvest Group helps international investors secure the right property and residency in one seamless process.

The UAE Golden Visa — 10-Year Residency

Property Investment Route

Invest AED 2,000,000 (about USD 545,000) in UAE real estate and qualify for a renewable 10-year Golden Visa. You can buy ready or off-plan property, and the visa extends to your spouse, children, and parents — with no local sponsor required.

Investor & Entrepreneur Route

Business owners and entrepreneurs establishing or investing in a UAE company can also qualify for the Golden Visa, unlocking a base in one of the world’s leading commercial hubs.

Talent & Professionals

Doctors, engineers, scientists, and other specialised talents may qualify based on their profession and salary — a fast track for skilled expats.
