Golden visa eligibility checker

Four yes-or-no questions against the four routes that actually get approved. If none fit, we say so and show you the route that does.

1.Do you own, or plan to buy, UAE residential property worth AED 2 million or more?

Off-plan from approved developers and mortgaged property above the threshold both count.

2.Do you earn AED 30,000 or more per month in a senior role, with a degree?

Executives need an employment contract, degree evidence and salary certificates.

3.Do you own a UAE business or project worth AED 500,000 or more, or hold accredited incubator approval?

The entrepreneur route is judged on audited figures and economic contribution.

4.Are you a doctor, scientist, engineer, specialised tech professional or endorsed creative?

Specialist categories run through accreditation or ministry endorsement.

Questions

About this checker

Is this an official eligibility decision?

No. It is an honest screening against the published criteria as of mid 2026. Eligibility is decided by the federal authority, criteria move, and files are judged on evidence. We confirm the live position before anyone applies.

What does a golden visa cost to obtain?

Government fees run roughly AED 4,000 to 5,000 per person including Emirates ID and medical, plus route-specific items like the property valuation certificate. Professional fees depend on the file's complexity.

I did not match any route. What now?

The standard two-year partner visa through your own company covers most founders at a fraction of the cost, with no 180-day rule problems for people living here. Golden routes usually open later, through property or business scale.
