Frequently Asked Questions

Key questions regarding UAE Golden Visa eligibility, qualifying routes, required documents, and government processing.

Who may be eligible for the UAE Golden Visa? ▾
Eligible applicants may include qualifying real estate investors, public investors and bank depositors, skilled professionals and senior executives, entrepreneurs, scientists, creative talents, and outstanding students. Eligibility and visa duration (5 or 10 years) depend on meeting specific statutory criteria established by the UAE government for each individual category.
What are the common qualifying routes and their requirements? ▾
The three most common routes include: (1) Qualifying Property Investment: Ownership of UAE real estate with an aggregate value of AED 2 million or more (completed or verified off-plan from approved developers; mortgaged properties require bank NOC and verified equity); (2) Public Investment / Bank Deposit: A fixed 2-year deposit of AED 2 million or more in an accredited UAE bank or corporate capital in a UAE entity; (3) Skilled Professionals: MoHRE Occupational Level 1 or 2 classification, accredited Bachelor’s degree or higher, an active UAE employment contract, and a verified monthly salary of AED 30,000 or more.
What documents are commonly needed for the application? ▾
Common documents include a valid passport copy, current UAE residency visa and Emirates ID (if already resident), passport-size photographs, and route-specific documentation. For real estate investors, an official Title Deed or developer statement is required. For skilled professionals, an attested educational degree, an official MoHRE contract, and recent bank statements demonstrating regular salary deposits are required.
Can Golden Visa holders sponsor their eligible family members? ▾
Yes. Primary Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouse and children regardless of their age (there is no upper age limitation for sons or daughters under current Golden Visa regulations), as well as domestic staff, subject to meeting standard medical fitness and residency documentation requirements.
Are visa approval and processing times guaranteed? ▾
No. Approval of a Golden Visa nomination or residence visa and the required processing timeline remain at the sole discretion of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), GDRFA, and relevant nomination authorities. EON assists with eligibility review, document coordination, and application follow-up, but cannot guarantee government issuance or fixed timelines.
