Dubai Holding Real Estate has introduced a dedicated Golden Visa and investor residency facilitation service at the Meraas and Nakheel sales centre in Dubai, allowing eligible property buyers to receive residency guidance as part of the home purchasing process.
The new service integrates visa support into the sales journey, giving buyers access to accredited residency specialists at the same location where they select a property. While Meraas and Nakheel will facilitate the process, all visa applications will be handled by an accredited service provider, with final approvals remaining the responsibility of the UAE authorities.
Residency Guidance at the Point of Purchase
The initiative is available to both new and existing customers across Dubai Holding Real Estate’s portfolio. Buyers can receive in-person guidance on eligibility requirements, documentation and the application process without needing to visit separate offices for property and residency matters.
According to the company, integrating residency services into the sales centre creates a more streamlined experience for buyers, brokers and sales teams by combining property selection and residency support within a single customer journey.
Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said Dubai continues to attract global investors and residents, adding that incorporating Golden Visa and investor residency guidance into the ownership process provides buyers with greater confidence and clarity.
Golden Visa and Investor Residency Options
The facilitation service includes guidance for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa available to eligible real estate investors who own one or more properties with a combined value of at least AED 2 million (approximately US$544,500), subject to government regulations and approval.
Golden Visa holders may also be eligible to sponsor family members in accordance with applicable UAE immigration rules.
In addition to the Golden Visa, the service provides information on other investor residency pathways available to qualifying property owners, giving buyers access to a broader range of residency options.
Supporting Dubai’s Real Estate Strategy
Dubai Holding Real Estate said the initiative aligns with the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033, which aims to increase homeownership to 33 percent, raise the sector’s contribution to Dubai’s gross domestic product to approximately AED 73 billion (US$19.9 billion), and boost real estate transaction volumes by 70 percent.
As developers continue competing for international investors and long-term residents, the company said the service strengthens the customer experience by bringing property selection, residency guidance and application preparation together in one location.
Dubai Holding Real Estate emphasised that accredited residency specialists will manage all visa submissions, while UAE authorities will continue to determine eligibility, government fees and final visa approvals.
