The Real Estate Investor Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable UAE residency visa for property buyers who own real estate worth AED 2 million or more in the UAE. If you qualify for the Real Estate Investor Golden Visa, you can sponsor your spouse, children of any age and parents, and employ unlimited domestic workers.
