Real Estate Investor Golden Visa for South Koreans

10-year UAE residency · around 9.5 hours from Seoul

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. Unlike a standard residence visa, the Real Estate Investor Golden Visa does not depend on an employer or a company sponsor, and it allows you to stay outside the UAE for extended periods without losing residency. Korean firms built landmark UAE projects, and K-beauty and K-food brands are expanding rapidly through Dubai, which gives South Korean entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Real Estate Investor Golden Visa licence is issued. The most common businesses South Koreans open through GoldenKey are in construction, electronics, beauty and cosmetics and energy, although Real Estate Investor Golden Visa supports almost any activity.

Why Real Estate Investor Golden Visa
