Dubai Government Details Golden Visa Family Residence Permit Fees for Investors

The Dubai government has officially published the fee structure for the 10-year family residence permit available to investors through its Golden Visa programme. These details are now clearly accessible on the UAE government's official website, providing transparency for prospective applicants.

Golden Visa Investor Scheme Details

The Golden Visa offers a renewable 10-year residence permit to real estate investors who own property exceeding a specified value. A significant benefit of this scheme is the ability for the primary investor to sponsor immediate family members, including their spouse, children, and parents, under the same permit.

Fees and Application Process

Applicants should be aware of the following costs and conditions:

• The total fee for a 10-year family residence permit is AED 5,774.50.
• An additional fee of AED 318.75 is required to open a family sponsorship file, which must be paid before the application process commences.

For investors who have purchased their property using a mortgage, an additional requirement applies: they must obtain a letter from their bank confirming that the necessary financial amount has been met. This document is essential for the application to proceed under standard terms.

Dubai offers the 10-year Golden Visa residency programme across four main categories: investors, entrepreneurs, talented individuals, and humanitarian workers, provided they meet the specific government requirements for each category.
