In 2019, AED 2 million property value became key for a 10-Year residency qualification
To clarify, the AED 2 million applies to the PROPERTY VALUE, not the DOWN PAYMENT.
However, for properties purchased through mortgage or instalment plans, buyers were required to contribute a minimum down payment of AED 1 million or 50% of the property’s value to the bank or developer to qualify for the golden visa.
The latest update removes the requirement for any minimum down payment, as explained by the National.
Investors are now eligible for the golden visa with a property value of AED 2 million or more, irrespective of its status – whether off-plan, completed, mortgaged, or not mortgaged.
