Dubai Launches New Golden Visa Service to Simplify Long-Term Residency
DUBAI — Dubai Holding Real Estate has launched a dedicated Golden Visa and investor residency facilitation service at the Meraas and Nakheel sales centre, placing residency guidance directly inside the property purchase process for eligible buyers across its portfolio.
The service gives buyers in‑person guidance on eligibility, documentation, and application requirements at the same location where they select a home — rather than sending customers to separate channels for property and residency steps.
Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said Dubai remains one of the world’s most attractive destinations to live and invest, and integrating residency procedures into the ownership journey gives buyers greater clarity and confidence.
The facilitation service covers the main residency routes, including the 10‑year UAE Golden Visa for eligible real estate investors who own property worth at least $544,500 (AED 2 million), subject to regulatory approval. Golden Visa holders can also sponsor family members.
Existing customers are also eligible. Accredited residency specialists will handle applications, while Meraas and Nakheel act strictly as facilitators. UAE authorities will continue to determine eligibility, required documents, government fees, and final approvals.
The initiative aligns with Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033, which targets a homeownership rate of 33 percent and a doubling of the sector’s contribution to Dubai GDP to about AED 73 billion.
For buyers, the service joins property selection, residency guidance, and application preparation in one location — tightening the ownership journey and giving investors a clearer route from reservation to application.
