Residency

Visa concierge for Palm Jebel Ali owners.

Buying on the island can open a residency route. This is the part most buyers are left to work out alone — so we do not leave you to it.

Routes

Which residency route applies to you

Three routes are relevant to property owners. Thresholds and criteria are set by the UAE government and can change.

10 years

Golden Visa

Property valued at AED 2 million or above

The long-term route most Palm Jebel Ali owners qualify for. Renewable, and can extend to immediate family and domestic staff subject to the prevailing rules.

2 years

Property Investor Visa

Valid title deed — AED 400,000 minimum share if jointly owned

Available to owners holding a title deed. Sole ownership of any value can be eligible. A Dubai Police clearance is normally required.

5 years

Retirement Visa

Property valued at AED 1 million or above, applicant aged 55+

A dedicated route for owners at or over 55, assessed against property value and the prevailing financial criteria.

    We keep the dates and prompt you before they matter.

Visa applications are facilitated through an authorised visa services provider working in accordance with the relevant UAE government authorities. The service is optional, fees are paid directly to that provider with a written breakdown, and no application can be guaranteed — approval rests entirely with the authorities. Nothing on this page is immigration or legal advice.
