This is an illustrative scenario: the people and details are for explanation only and are not a real client case. Every family’s outcome depends on its background and the policies in force at the time.
Background
Mr Law (pseudonym), Hong Kong, trading company owner, wife and two children. He wanted long-term residence in Dubai to expand his business.
Main concern
Neither of his two units met the threshold on its own.
Our approach
We confirmed the two properties could be combined, and that their registered purchase prices totalled AED 2,000,000.
Process and outcome
He received 10-year Golden Visas in about 6 weeks, with the whole family approved together.
Adviser’s comment
Several properties can be combined — but confirm how the value is counted before you pay a deposit.
UAE Golden Visa application process
- Assessment and choice of route (2–6 weeks): We confirm the right route, shortlist qualifying property or businesses, and verify how the property value will be counted.
- Purchase and registration (Depends on the transaction): Complete the purchase and register with the land department; mortgaged or off-plan property needs a no-objection certificate.
- Golden Visa application (Depends on processing): Submit the application and complete the medical and biometrics.
- Residence and family applications (After approval): Collect your residence and Emirates ID, and apply for your spouse and children.
