Before you apply: four things to check
Wills and estate planning
As a property owner in the UAE, your assets and your family's interests are protected by clear succession planning. Registering a will can avoid delays later.
Document attestation
Planning to sponsor a spouse or children? Marriage and birth certificates must be attested for UAE residence applications. Attestation takes time, so start early.
Changes to ownership
If you plan to sell, transfer or refinance your property, check how that affects your residency first. Your visa depends on the qualifying property staying within the rules.

Property visa questions
Can't find what you need? Message us and a consultant will reply.
Ask on WhatsAppThe normal process typically takes 7-14 working days. With our VIP process it can be completed in as little as 48-72 hours, subject to authority approvals.
This depends on the authority's rules for the ownership shares and your marriage certificate. We confirm the rule for your case first.
Yes. Qualifying Ras Al Khaimah property worth AED 2 million or more can lead to a 10-year Golden Visa, subject to the authority's conditions.
Government fees for a single applicant start from AED 10,650, plus our service fee, and we quote the full amount in writing before you commit. The package includes health insurance, and the VIP option is available if you want it faster.
Yes. Health insurance is mandatory for RAK visas and must be issued before the residence visa is submitted.
The property must be in the emirate you apply through. Fees, approving authorities and some conditions differ, such as mandatory health insurance in RAK.
In most cases, yes. Several properties owned by the same person in Ras Al Khaimah can be added together to reach the threshold, as long as each one is eligible and the paperwork is in order. We check the combined value before you apply.
Often yes. Mortgaged property can qualify with a no-objection certificate (NOC) from your bank and a current statement of account. The authority may ask for more details, which we help you prepare.
It can, subject to the authority's conditions, such as a minimum amount paid and a registered developer. A sales and purchase agreement (SPA) alone is not accepted, so you will need the registered title deed or the equivalent certificate.
Yes. Eligible spouses and children can be sponsored, and each family member needs their own residence application with their own medical test and Emirates ID. We give you a written quote for the whole family.
No. The RAK Golden Visa is self-sponsored, so your residency is tied to your property and not to an employer or a local sponsor.
Yes, in many cases. If you are outside the country, an entry permit is issued first and you complete the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics after you arrive. If you are inside, we change your status without you needing to leave.
Biometrics are generally required from age 15. Younger children do not need to give fingerprints, though a photo is still taken.
Yes. As long as you still meet the property requirements when it expires, you can renew your 10-year residency. We remind you before the date.
