As part of its ๐•๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ reforms, Saudi Arabia has officially ๐š๐›๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐Š๐š๐Ÿ๐š๐ฅ๐š ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ, replacing it with a ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค that empowers migrant workers and aligns with global labor standards.

 Key Changes

  • Job Mobility: Workers can change employers without sponsor approval after contract completion or under specific conditions (e.g., wage delays).
  • Freedom of Movement: No more exit/re-entry permits from sponsors — workers can travel freely.
  • Digital Contracts: Employment relationships are now governed by formal contracts, often managed via platforms like Qiwa.
  • Legal Access: Expanded access to labor courts and complaint mechanisms ensures better protection against abuse.

Why It Matters

This reform affects millions of foreign workers and marks a major step toward transparency, competitiveness, and human rights compliance in the region. It also sets a precedent for neighboring Gulf countries to revisit their own labor frameworks.

As a businessman holding an investor visa, you've already made a significant commitment to Dubai. Lately, many of you have asked the same question: “Is my AED 2 million property investment enough to qualify for a Golden Visa?” The answer is a confident yes. This pathway is formally backed by ๐€๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ฅ๐ž ๐Ÿ– ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐€๐ง๐ง๐ž๐ฑ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‚๐š๐›๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ญ ๐‘๐ž๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ.

Your ๐€๐„๐ƒ ๐Ÿ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง investment—whether in completed or off-plan property—represents the most direct and secure route to a ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ-๐ฒ๐ž๐š๐ซ ๐†๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ž๐ง ๐•๐ข๐ฌ๐š, offering you and your family unmatched long-term stability in the UAE.

"Here's a breakdown of the key points you need to know:

  • ๐ˆ๐ง๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐“๐ก๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐: A real estate investment of at least AED 2 million is the primary requirement for a 10-year Golden Visa. This can be one or more properties.
  • ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐“๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ž: The investment can be in completed or off-plan properties in a freehold area of Dubai.

However, you must provide a no-objection certificate from the bank and show proof that you have paid a significant portion of the value, with some sources indicating a minimum of AED 2 million in paid equity.

  • ๐๐ž๐ง๐ž๐Ÿ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ: The Golden Visa offers numerous advantages, including:
    • A 10-year renewable residency visa.
    • The ability to sponsor your spouse, children (regardless of their age), and parents.
    • No need for a local sponsor.
    • The freedom to stay outside the UAE for more than six months without the visa becoming invalid.
    • Access to exclusive benefits like the Esaad privilege card, which offers discounts at various businesses.

๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐œ๐ž๐ž๐:

The application process is handled by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). You will need to:

  • Gather Required Documents: Prepare documents such as your passport, the property's e-Certificate of Title or Title Deed, a recent personal photo, and proof of your current residency status if you have an existing visa.
  • Application and Fees: The application can be submitted through a service center or online. There are various fees involved for the medical examination, the Emirates ID, and the residency permit itself.

Given that you already have an investor visa and a property valued at AED 2 million, you meet the main criteria for applying for the Golden Visa.
