What is a Dubai Property Visa?
A Dubai Property Visa is a type of UAE residency visa issued to individuals who own real estate in Dubai that meets specific eligibility criteria. This visa allows investors to live, work, and enjoy the benefits of the UAE while owning a valuable asset in one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets.
The Dubai government introduced the property visa program to attract global investors and boost the real estate sector. It offers an excellent opportunity for individuals who want UAE residency by investment, combining long-term living privileges with profitable property ownership.
Whether you’re looking for a 2-year property investor visa, a 5-year renewable visa, or the prestigious 10-year Golden Visa, Aspira ensures that your application meets all requirements and is processed without unnecessary delays.

Required Documents for a Property Visa Application
When applying for a property investor visa in Dubai, having the correct documents is critical. The UAE government is strict about documentation, and even minor discrepancies can lead to delays or rejection. Each document serves a specific purpose in proving your eligibility and investment legitimacy.
Detailed Breakdown of Required Documents:
Valid Passport Copy – All applicants, including dependents, must provide a passport valid for at least six months. This confirms your identity and nationality.
UAE Entry Visa or Residence Permit – If you are already in the UAE, you must provide your current visa or entry stamp to show legal entry.
Title Deed from Dubai Land Department (DLD) – This is the most critical proof of property ownership. It should clearly state your name as the owner.
Property Valuation Report – Sometimes requested to confirm the market value meets the visa threshold. It must be from an authorized valuer approved by DLD.
Passport-Sized Photographs – Recent, high-quality images as per UAE visa specifications.
Proof of Health Insurance – Mandatory for visa issuance, ensuring you are covered during your stay in Dubai.
Good Conduct Certificate – Required for certain long-term visas (like the Golden Visa) to show you have no criminal record in the UAE or your home country.
Before submission, we cross-check each document for accuracy, attestation, and compliance. Common mistakes include mismatched names (due to spelling differences) and outdated documents, both of which can stall your application.
Dubai Property Visa Application Process
The process of obtaining a property visa in Dubai involves multiple government touchpoints, but with a systematic approach, it can be completed within weeks.
Step-by-Step Detailed Process:
Eligibility Verification – We first confirm if your property meets the criteria based on value, completion status, and ownership structure.
Document Preparation – All required documents are collected, attested if necessary, and checked for compliance with DLD and GDRFA standards.
Application Submission – Aspira submits your application through official government channels, either directly with DLD or via GDRFA, depending on visa type.
Fee Payment – Government fees are transparent and vary depending on visa validity. We provide a clear breakdown before payment.
Medical Examination – All applicants undergo a UAE-standard medical test, which includes blood tests and X-rays.
Emirates ID Registration – Biometrics are taken at approved centers, and your Emirates ID is linked to your residency visa.
Visa Approval & Stamping – Once approved, your visa is stamped in your passport, and you become a legal resident of Dubai.
Our close working relationship with DLD officers allows us to resolve application queries quickly, reducing delays that many applicants face when applying independently.
Property Visa Validity & Renewal
The validity of your visa is tied to your property’s value and the type of visa granted. Understanding this helps in long-term planning for residency and investment.
Visa Validity:
2-Year Visa – For properties worth AED 750,000+; must be renewed every 2 years.
5-Year Visa – For properties worth AED 2 million+; renewable every 5 years.
Golden Visa (10 Years) – Long-term stability for AED 2 million+ investments, renewable with minimal requirements.
Renewal Requirements in Detail:
Ownership Proof – The property must still be in your name with a valid title deed.
Minimum Value Maintenance – Property market value must remain above the required threshold.
Updated Health Insurance – Renewal cannot be processed without valid health coverage.
Valid Ejari (if applicable) – If the property is rented out, ensure your tenancy contract is registered with Ejari.
Missing the renewal window can lead to fines, visa cancellation, and loss of residency rights. At Aspira, we set automated renewal reminders for our clients to ensure no deadlines are missed.
