How long does a property-linked residence visa last in the UAE?

The validity of a property-linked UAE residence visa depends on which category you qualify for. The UAE offers more than one real-estate route: shorter-term renewable investor visas for owners whose property meets a lower value threshold, and the long-term 10-year Golden Visa for those meeting the higher investment threshold and conditions. Each category has its own validity period and renewal rules, all set by the immigration authorities. In every case the visa is conditional — you must continue to own the qualifying property and keep meeting the requirements, and it is renewed through GDRFA in your emirate or the ICP. Renewal generally involves confirming continued ownership via the title deed, an updated medical fitness test, biometrics, Emirates ID renewal and valid health insurance. Because the specific durations and the value thresholds that determine which category applies are set by the authorities and can change, confirm the current periods on the UAE Government portal (u.ae) or with GDRFA rather than relying on older guidance. A verified UAE legal professional on LEXAI can advise on which category your property supports.
