2-Year Property Visa

Joint owners: each share must be at least AED 400,000. Mortgaged property is accepted with a bank NOC and payment statement. A Dubai Police clearance certificate is required. Spouse and children can be sponsored.

Company Investment

Mainland / Freezone Visa

Depends on company structure

Mainland: the company's MOA must show your shareholding. Freezone: the free zone's own minimum share capital applies. 100% foreign ownership is available in free zones. The 2-year investor visa does not itself carry the right to work — a separate MoHRE work permit is required.
