The major criteria would be the Value of the property. The minimum criterion is that the value has to be minimum of 1 million dirham or more. Anyone who owns a residential property worth of 1 million dirham or more can apply for this. It is also mandatory to understand if the property is mortgaged or free from Mortgage as the requirement of 1 million dirham has a be a mortgage free property. For instance if someone owns a property worth 2.5 million than minimum of 1 million dirham needs to be paid off and the remaining even if mortgaged the investor would be eligible for the property visa in Dubai. Looking into the ownership of the property is also required to understand who the owners of the property are. In case if owned by both the partners like wife and husband then an attested marriage certificate can be provided and the visa could be availed by the husband. The same is not applicable for any other relation apart from husband and wife. In case of other relations owning a property jointly then the eligibility criteria for the property visa is each owner should carry the percentage of share in such a way that they own the property worth of 1 million each.

Procedure for obtaining a Property Visa in Dubai

Once the good conduct certificate (PCC) is ready, we need to submit the passport copy, PCC along with the Title deed copy to the DLD. Upon receiving the pre-approval for the security then we further proceed with the issuance of the permit from DLD for property and then further proceed with the Establishment card and then the Investor visa. Once the Investor gets his visa on the property he will be legally eligible to sponsor his immediate dependents by providing them a dependent visa from the Immigration. The Property permit is valid for 4 years and need to be renewed subsequently. The property Investor Visa is valid for 2 years and renewed subsequently. The total approximate cost for the permit as well as the Visa would be AED 13000/-.
