About the Golden Visa Eligibility Checker
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term (5 or 10-year) renewable residence permit, issued without needing a local sponsor. There are several separate routes to qualify — property investment, a high skilled-professional salary, or entrepreneurship — each with its own minimum threshold. This checker flags which routes your numbers meet.
How it works
This tool checks your inputs against each route's 2026 minimum threshold:
- Property investment: AED 2,000,000+ in real estate (fully paid or mortgaged).
- Skilled professional: AED 30,000+ monthly basic salary, plus an attested degree.
- Entrepreneur (existing SME): AED 1,000,000+ annual revenue.
- Entrepreneur (innovative project): AED 500,000+ approved project value.
Assumptions and behaviour
- Uses the 2026 published minimum thresholds for each route (property, salary, SME revenue, innovative project).
- Meeting a minimum threshold is a prerequisite, not a guarantee — each route has additional documentation requirements (valuation reports, bank statements, approvals) checked during the actual application.
- You can meet more than one route — the checker flags every one you qualify for by the numbers.
Limitations
- This is a decision-tree estimate, not an application or official eligibility determination.
- Doesn't verify supporting documentation (attested degrees, valuation reports, developer approvals) required for the actual application.
- Estimates only — not legal or immigration advice. Confirm with ICP or a licensed immigration consultant.
