Want to live in Dubai long-term — without a job sponsor?
The UAE’s Golden Visa makes that possible. And in 2025, the rules have shifted in your favor.
At AURRIA, we simplify the process so you can invest wisely, secure your future, and unlock 10-year residency — all through smart real estate choices.
WHAT IS THE UAE GOLDEN VISA?
The Golden Visa is a long-term residency visa for foreign nationals who contribute significantly to the UAE — through investment, entrepreneurship, or talent.
- In short:
- No local sponsor needed
- 10-year renewable visa
- Includes spouse, children, and household staff
- Freedom to live, work, own property, and open businesses in the UAE
PROPERTY INVESTMENT: YOUR MOST STRAIGHTFORWARD GOLDEN VISA PATH
In 2025, real estate remains the most popular and stable route to the Golden Visa — especially with the introduction of faster processing and nomination pathways.
Property Golden Visa Requirements (Updated for 2025):
| Criteria | Requirement |
| Minimum Property Value | AED 2,000,000 (as per title deed) |
| Ownership Type | Freehold only |
| Status | Completed or off-plan with payment of AED 2M+ |
| Mortgage Cap | Must pay at least AED 2M from personal funds |
NEW in 2025: Some off-plan properties may now qualify immediately if the buyer pays AED 2M upfront — even before handover. AURRIA can help you find those projects.
NEW! SPONSOR-FREE APPLICATION LAUNCHED IN JULY 2025
The UAE recently rolled out a direct investor portal — making it even easier to apply for the Golden Visa without a company or local sponsor.
Fast-track online application
Document-based approval (no interview)
Visa issued within 3–4 weeks
Ask AURRIA how to submit through the ICP portal or Dubai Now — we do this every day for clients like you.
NOMINATION ROUTE (AED 100,000 SHORTCUT)
For certain nationalities (including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and select others), the UAE has introduced a nomination-based Golden Visa pathway.
✅ AED 100,000 nomination fee
✅ No property or business required
✅ Processed via approved legal agents
This is ideal if you:
- Don’t want to invest AED 2M in property yet
- Need immediate residency access
- Want to secure your family’s future fast
Note: AURRIA can help verify your eligibility and connect you to trusted legal channels.
WHO YOU CAN SPONSOR WITH A GOLDEN VISA
Your 10-year visa allows you to sponsor:
- Spouse
- Children (no age limit)
- Parents
- Domestic staff (maids, drivers, nannies)
WHO ELSE QUALIFIES IN 2025?
The UAE has expanded its eligible categories to include:
- Real estate investors (AED 2M+)
- Entrepreneurs (startups, innovative projects)
- Doctors & nurses
- Teachers & academics
- Creative professionals (artists, writers, digital creators)
