Why do families choose the UAE Golden Visa through property?
Property ownership from AED 2 million can support a long-term UAE residence that belongs to the holder, not an employer. Family sponsorship is available under Golden Visa rules, and the residence does not lapse after six months outside the UAE while it remains valid. Dubai Land Department and GDRFA Dubai commonly frame the investor route as 10 years — confirm the issuing channel before filing. Professional fees are quoted on consultation.
