About UAE Residency Program
Secure Your Vibrant Future
The UAE offers two main residency by investment options for investors: a 2-year visa and a 10-year Golden Visa. The 2-year visa is obtained through property purchase only in Dubai, whilst the 10-year Golden Visa by real estate acquisition is available in all emirates.
Beyond residency, the UAE offers significant advantages, including 0% personal income tax, a strategic and central location connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa, and an extremely safe lifestyle. Investors benefit from a robust economy, full business ownership rights in free zones, and strong real estate returns.

Frequently Asked Questions about UAE Residency
What do I get if I make the minimum investment for UAE residency?
You can obtain a 2-year UAE residency visa (renewable), or a 10-year visa with a higher investment. This visa allows you to live, work, open bank accounts, and benefit from the UAE’s favourable tax regime.

Can I include someone else in my UAE residency application?
Yes, you can include your entire family—spouse, children (including unmarried sons up to 25 years old and unmarried daughters), and your parents.
Igor Nemtsov
Senior Citizenship & Residency Advisor, Head of UAE Office
How quickly can I obtain UAE residency through investment?

Igor Nemtsov
Senior Citizenship & Residency Advisor, Head of UAE Office
What are the requirements to obtain UAE citizenship after residency?
Obtaining UAE citizenship is extremely difficult. It typically requires being recognised as a talented individual or a valuable investor in the country. Alternatively, naturalisation requires around 30 years of residency, fluency in Arabic, and an impeccable reputation.
Igor Nemtsov
Senior Citizenship & Residency Advisor, Head of UAE Office
Which nationalities are eligible for the UAE residency by investment program?
The program is open to investors from all countries, provided they can prove the legal origin of their funds and have no violations of local laws.
Igor Nemtsov
Senior Citizenship & Residency Advisor, Head of UAE Office
Can I recover my investment after purchasing property for UAE residency?
No, the investment must be maintained. Selling the property would result in the loss of residency status. Ownership must be retained in order to keep your visa valid.
Igor Nemtsov
Senior Citizenship & Residency Advisor, Head of UAE Office
What is the situation with cryptocurrency in the UAE, and are there any restrictions?
The UAE is actively developing its cryptocurrency sector, especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, offering favourable conditions for crypto businesses. Regulations are strict, including company licensing, adherence to AML/KYC standards, and bans on anonymous transactions.
Igor Nemtsov
Senior Citizenship & Residency Advisor, Head of UAE Office
Is it true that the UAE is a tax haven?
Yes, the UAE offers one of the most favourable tax regimes: there is no personal income tax, and corporate taxes are low (with zero taxes in some free zones), making the country highly attractive for investors and entrepreneurs looking to make their money go further.
