UAE Golden Visa property rule eased: off-plan and mortgaged now qualify

The property route to the UAE Golden Visa has been simplified. The requirement to pay 50% or at least AED 1,000,000 upfront has been removed.

Both off-plan and mortgaged properties now qualify, provided the property's value, as recorded by the Dubai Land Department, reaches AED 2,000,000. You can also combine up to three properties to reach the threshold.
