The UAE Golden Visa Eligibility Checker helps you quickly assess whether you qualify for the coveted 10-year UAE residency based on salary, investment, or talent category.
What is the UAE Golden Visa?
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency permit valid for 10 years. Unlike standard employment visas, it is not tied to an employer — holders can live, work, and study in the UAE freely. It was introduced in 2019 and expanded significantly in 2022 to include more categories.
Who qualifies for the Golden Visa?
Key categories include: investors (real estate ≥ AED 2M or business investment ≥ AED 2M), professionals earning ≥ AED 30,000/month in certain fields, outstanding students (GPA ≥ 3.75 from UAE or top global universities), exceptional talents in science, arts, athletics, and humanitarian workers.
How to apply for the Golden Visa
Applications are submitted through the ICA (Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security) or the relevant emirate authority (e.g., GDRFA for Dubai). The process typically takes 2–4 weeks and costs AED 4,000–6,000 in government fees.
Frequently asked questions
Can Golden Visa holders sponsor family?+

A monthly salary of at least AED 30,000 is required. The applicant must also work in a specialty occupation as classified by the Ministry of Human Resources.
