How long does the Golden Visa process take?

Typically 2–4 weeks from submission. Some categories may take longer depending on document verification. Some cases can be expedited to as little as 7 business days.

Can I sponsor my family on a Golden Visa?

Yes. Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouse, children of any age, and parents. There is no age limit for sponsoring children, unlike standard residence visas which have age restrictions.

No. Unlike standard UAE residence visas that expire after 6 months outside the country, the Golden Visa remains valid regardless of how long you stay outside the UAE during the 10‑year validity period.

Can I get a Golden Visa if I own property in Dubai?

Yes, if your property value is AED 2 million or above. The property must be fully owned (not mortgaged beyond 50% in some interpretations).
