Introduction
The UAE Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable residency permit that allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study in the UAE without a national sponsor. One of the most popular routes to obtaining the Golden Visa is to get Dubai Golden Visa through property investment — specifically, owning property worth AED 2 million or more in the UAE.
