Common questions about investor residency
What is the investor visa fee in the UAE?
The Dubai Green Residence permit fee for a partner or investor is in the numbers card, and the authority's page lists other charges too. Work out the full cost in the calculator.
What is the difference between Green and Golden residence?
Green is up to five years and Golden is ten years, and each has a permit fee shown in the numbers card.
Is that figure the total?
No. It is the permit fee only, with other charges added. So work out your cost in the calculator and check with the authority for the final number.
Is Golden Residence just AED 1,100?
No. That is the permit fee only. GDRFA Dubai also requires a qualifying investment, for example at least AED 2 million in a company share, property or a bank deposit, or at least AED 250,000 a year in taxes paid.
Do these cards apply to other emirates?
No. The figures are from GDRFA Dubai. Another emirate needs its own figure from its own authority.
Does the cost calculator include the owner visa?
Yes. It has an owner visa line, and you can switch it off if you do not need it.
Is it free to start my plan?
Yes. Starting is free. Begin your plan and see your numbers before you spend a dirham.
