Property Revaluation and the 10-Year Golden Visa — Unlocking What You Already Own
  • By Dalia Mazin

Many investors in Dubai are unaware that their existing properties may already qualify them for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa. Even if your property was originally purchased for less than AED 2 million, its current market value could now exceed that threshold — making you eligible without any new investment.

At fäm Conveyancing, we have successfully helped numerous clients obtain official Dubai Land Department (DLD) valuation certificates confirming that their properties have appreciated to AED 2 million or more. These certificates, issued in less than 24 hours, have allowed many owners to obtain their 10-year Golden Visa, even if their purchase price was below the required limit.

Why Revaluation Matters
The DLD bases eligibility on market value, not only on purchase value. Once a property’s valuation officially crosses AED 2 million, the owner becomes eligible to apply for the renewable 10-year Golden Visa, valid as long as ownership continues.

This process not only strengthens your investment portfolio but also ensures long-term residency security — a true reflection of Dubai’s vision to reward sustained investment.

If You’re Selling or Transferring Your Property
For existing Golden Visa holders:
  • You must cancel the visa tied to the property being sold.
  • However, if you own another property worth AED 2 million or more, you can transfer the visa to that property before completing the sale.
  • If the new purchase happens only after selling, the entire visa application process must be restarted, including all government fees.
Planning the transition early prevents unnecessary costs and delays.

Our Guidance at fäm Conveyancing
  • Request a DLD valuation certificate to confirm eligibility.
  • Plan your visa transfer or application with legal guidance.
  • Maintain clear ownership and compliance documentation.
  • Let our conveyancing team handle your process efficiently and transparently.

Final Word
Your property could already hold the key to a 10-year Golden Visa. Don’t miss the opportunity to secure your residency and maximize your investment’s potential.

At fäm Conveyancing, we manage the entire revaluation and visa process with precision, transparency, and full compliance with DLD procedures.
