Background
Ms Lam, from Taipei, applied as a single applicant. She wanted 10-year residence in the UAE.
Main concern
She had bought off-plan and wasn’t sure it would count.
Our approach
We reminded her early to get a no-objection certificate from the developer, and checked the property value.
Process and outcome
She received the Golden Visa through off-plan property in about 8 weeks.
Adviser’s comment
Off-plan and mortgaged property can count, but you need a no-objection certificate first.
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.
