Investors, entrepreneurs, specialists and outstanding students — the categories and thresholds shaping this year's Golden Visa applications.
The 10-year Golden Visa remains the UAE's flagship long-term residency programme, and 2026 has brought incremental clarifications to the eligibility criteria.
Real-estate investors can qualify with a property investment of AED 2 million or more, either fully paid or financed through an approved local mortgage. Entrepreneurs with an economically valuable, approved project also remain eligible.
Specialists in medicine, science, engineering, arts and creative industries can apply based on qualifications, published work or salary certificates. Outstanding students continue to receive fast-track approvals.
Beeline's immigration team pre-assesses eligibility free of charge and prepares the full evidence pack, so applications are approved on the first submission.
