A 2 year Visa can be procured in Dubai, once you buy a residential property. This is:

  1. Handed over in a completed format
  2. Worth a minimum value of one million dirhams.

The purchase price shall not be considered if you were to decide to get a visa after few months from buying the property. A property valuation is recommended to be conducted, the result of which should be AED 1,000,000 or more to be eligible to get the visa. A few factors are considered during the valuation, e.g. the value of the last 10 sales transactions within the last 3 years, the current market property listing prices, the condition of the property, amongst others…
