Two different property-based routes
Check the named Dubai Land Department service before choosing a visa duration. A property-investor residence application and a real-estate Golden Visa application have different conditions.
| Route | DLD information checked 9 October 2026 |
|---|---|
| Property-investor residence (Taskeen) | DLD lists a two-year residence permit. Check its current individual and joint ownership criteria directly. |
| Real-estate Golden Visa | DLD lists ten-year renewable residence for qualifying property ownership valued at AED 2 million or more. |
Real-estate Golden Visa documents
DLD lists a passport, title deed or electronic title certificate, photo, and existing Emirates ID and residence permit if available. Mortgaged cases require bank documentation; the applicant must be inside the UAE. Consult the official service card for its ownership and paid-amount conditions.
DLD also lists family and parent sponsorship requirements. Confirm the applicable checklist separately rather than assuming every dependent has the same conditions. Open the official Golden Visa service and fee schedule.
Property-investor residence documents
DLD’s Taskeen checklist includes a passport, title deed, photograph, existing ID and visa where available, and a Dubai Good Conduct Certificate addressed to DLD. The current page has separate family and parent checklists and requires applicant attendance.
Confirm ownership eligibility directly with DLD. Older articles may quote investment thresholds that differ from the live service terms. Open the official Taskeen service and fee schedule.
Before committing to an application
- Ask which named route fits the title deed and ownership structure.
- Confirm how a mortgage or joint ownership affects the application.
- Request the current assessed fees, including medical, ID, administrative and dependent items.
- Confirm where the applicant must attend and who can submit.
- Keep the property application separate from dependent document preparation.
This guide helps you find the official route. For a property transaction or residence application, use the DLD service channels listed on its service page. QuickDocs can discuss the related certificate, translation and document support you need.
Prepare family certificates early
Create a folder for each dependent and keep certificate endorsements readable. Our document and photo guide and MOFA attestation guide explain preparation steps. Confirm the property route’s own family requirements before submitting.
