UAE Golden Visa Through Abu Dhabi Property
Secure 10-year UAE residency with a qualifying AED 2M+ investment in a designated freehold zone.
What is the UAE Golden Visa?
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency programme granting 10-year renewable residency to property investors who purchase real estate valued at AED 2,000,000 or above in a designated freehold investment zone. The visa covers the buyer, spouse, and dependent children — with no requirement for a local sponsor or employer.
Does Abu Dhabi Property Qualify?
Yes. Freehold properties purchased in Abu Dhabi's designated investment zones — including Al Maryah Island, Saadiyat Island, Yas Island, Al Reem Island, and Ramhan Island — fully qualify. The property must be registered in your name with the Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport and be either fully paid or mortgaged above the AED 2M threshold.
Jumeirah Residences: A Golden Visa Asset
Jumeirah Residences Al Maryah Island is a flagship Golden Visa–eligible development. Starting prices from AED 3,000,000 exceed the threshold with comfortable margin. As a branded residence managed by Jumeirah Group, it combines investment credibility with five-star lifestyle — making it one of the most sought-after Golden Visa properties in Abu Dhabi in 2026.
The Application Process
1. Purchase and register the property (Oqood or Title Deed). 2. Submit documents via the ICA (Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship) or through an authorised typing centre. 3. Receive visa in 2–4 weeks. AD Residences can guide you through every step from property selection to visa application.
Why Abu Dhabi Over Dubai for Golden Visa?
Abu Dhabi offers superior capital preservation, lower price-per-sqft in comparable luxury assets, stronger corporate tenancy (ADGM, Mubadala, government entities), and a quieter, higher-quality lifestyle. Al Maryah Island specifically delivers 7–8.5% net rental yields — among the highest in the UAE for corporate-grade tenancies.
