Golden Visa in Mohammed Bin Rashid City
A 10 year UAE residence on an MBR City home worth AED 2 million.
The Golden Visa in Mohammed Bin Rashid City is a 10 year renewable UAE residence earned by owning an MBR City home worth at least AED 2 million on the Dubai Land Department valuation. The district's villas and larger apartments, including District One, sit comfortably above the threshold, so an owner here usually qualifies with room to spare.
How does the AED 2 million property route work?
The property route grants a 10 year renewable UAE residence when you own Dubai property valued at or above AED 2,000,000. What counts is the Dubai Land Department valuation, so you qualify on the value of the home, not on a minimum down payment. You can also combine more than one property to reach the threshold. The visa then lets you sponsor your spouse, your children and your parents for the same term.
What are the official Dubai Land Department fees?
These are the government fees published by the Dubai Land Department for the 10 year property Golden Visa. They are the authority's fees, separate from our fixed professional fee, which we quote up front.
| Government item | Fee (AED) |
|---|---|
| Emirates ID (10 years) | 1,153 |
| Confirmation of residency permit (10 years) | 2,856.75 |
| Dubai Land Department fees | 4,020 |
| Administrative fees | 1,155 |
| Family residence permit (10 years, each) | 5,774.50 |
| Parents residence permit (10 years, each) | 5,774.50 |
Can a mortgaged property qualify?
Yes. A property under a bank mortgage can still qualify, provided a bank no-objection letter is submitted stating that the bank does not object to a residence permit being issued on the property, and indicating the amount paid and the balance. The AED 2 million test is on the property value, so a financed home in Mohammed Bin Rashid City can qualify once the value is confirmed.
Who can you sponsor on the Golden Visa?
A property Golden Visa holder can sponsor a spouse, children and parents for the same 10 year term, without the salary-linked test that applies to a standard residence visa. Each family or parent permit carries its own DLD fee, listed above. Household staff can also be sponsored under the Golden Visa rules.
