Difficulty Analysis of Dubai Golden Visa Application: New Opportunities for Global Talents under Threshold Optimization

As the core certificate to unlock Dubai's global high-quality resources, since its launch in 2019, the Golden Visa has become the focus of global elites with its advantages of 10-year long-term residence and shared benefits for the whole family. With the full landing of the New Deal in 2025, the application threshold will be greatly relaxed and the approval process will continue to be simplified, making "high gold content" and "low application difficulty" a rare superposition.

1. Real estate investment channel

basic conditions: Purchase of Dubai properties with a total value of ≥ 2 million dirhams, which can be calculated on top of each other. The auction house can apply for the temporary property ownership certificate and the developer's statement, and the existing house needs to provide the property ownership certificate.

Flexible operation: if there is a loan for the property, the down payment of ≥ 2 million dirhams and the provision of a bank no objection certificate (NOC) and proof of the amount paid are also eligible.

2. Bank deposit channel

basic conditions: deposit a 2 million dirhams term deposit in a designated bank in Dubai, which can be applied for at least 2 years. Interest can be withdrawn freely during the deposit period, and the principal can be withdrawn after maturity, and the status is not affected.

Advantages: No need to buy a house or run a business, suitable for investors with high liquidity needs; deposit interest income can cover part of the visa processing costs.

3. Outstanding Talent Channel

crowd coverage: scientists, engineers, educators, e-sports practitioners, cultural and artistic creators, etc.

Application conditions: Need to obtain a letter of recommendation from relevant UAE institutions (such as the Scholars Committee, the Future Foundation, the Education and Human Development Agency), or hold an international authoritative award (such as the Nobel Prize, Turing Award).

4, high-paying technology channel

basic conditions: monthly salary ≥ 30000 dirhams, bachelor's degree or above (overseas degree requires Hague certification), and work in core fields such as technology, finance and medical treatment in Dubai.

Application Process

after the policy upgrade in 2025, the application process of Dubai Golden Visa will be greatly simplified, forming an efficient mode of "online submission + offline verification:

1, qualification confirmation: through the Dubai Land Department (DLD) official website or designated platform self-examination of real estate/deposit/professional qualifications.
