Long-term UAE residence through property, handled from our Dubai office
The UAE Golden Visa gives investors, entrepreneurs and skilled professionals a renewable residence of two, five or ten years, with no sponsor and no minimum time in the country. For property investors it is the most direct route, and EAM Global is based where the process happens. We walk with you from property selection to Emirates ID.
Five ways in through property
| Route | Minimum property value | Who qualifies | Visa length |

| Standard purchase | AED 1,000,000 (about USD 280,000) | Investors aged 55+ | 5 years |
| Standard purchase | AED 2,000,000 (about USD 550,000) | Investors aged 18+ | 10 years |
