    Check my eligibility properly

    This Golden Visa eligibility checker shows which route to the UAE Golden Visa may fit you. The Golden Visa gives 5 or 10 year renewable residence with no national sponsor. Pick the option that best describes you, whether investor, property owner, entrepreneur, specialised talent or high earner, to see the usual threshold.

    How is it calculated?

    Eligibility is by route, not a single rule. Common routes are property investment, company investment, entrepreneurship, specialised talent and high salary, each with its own published threshold and evidence, confirmed with the issuing authority.

    The Golden Visa is administered by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), and property routes are assessed on Dubai Land Department valuation. The checker points you to the likely route; we confirm the current figure before any application.

    Worked example. A property owner whose Dubai property is valued at or above the published threshold is usually directed to the property investor route for a ten year visa.
