UAE Golden Visa — residency by investment
Direct answer: the UAE Golden Visa real-estate route requires qualifying property or fund investment of at least AED 2,000,000, held for three years, per official u.ae guidance — it grants ten-year renewable residence, not citizenship.
These guides explain how the route works for specific passport holders, with sourced figures and links to official sources. Rankings on nationality pages use the same engine as the rest of pass2port — we do not reorder programs to favour UAE.
