A retirement visa in Dubai gives five years of residency from age 55, renewable on the same terms. Owners qualify through Dubai property worth AED 1 million in their own name, and a fixed income of AED 240,000 a year is another test. Your spouse and children can join you.

Ask on WhatsApp

Who can get a retirement visa in Dubai?

People aged 55 or over with Dubai property worth AED 1 million in their name, or a fixed income of AED 240,000 a year. Which one you use decides what your file needs.

Can I get a retirement visa in Dubai through property?

Yes, from age 55 with Dubai property worth AED 1 million. Several properties can be added together, and a mortgaged home counts once AED 1 million has been paid off. The home you own may already qualify.

How much does a retirement visa cost in Dubai?

It depends on who joins you and what each person needs: a medical test from age 18, an Emirates ID and health insurance. A property file may also need a valuation. A 15-minute call prices your household.

What is the minimum income for a retirement visa in Dubai?

A fixed income of AED 240,000 a year, which is AED 20,000 a month, backed by six months of bank statements. Property worth AED 1 million is another route.

Is the Dubai retirement visa better than the Golden Visa?

At AED 2 million or more, the Golden Visa gives ten years on the same property against five. Between AED 1 million and AED 2 million, at 55 or over, the retirement visa is the route that fits.

Can the Dubai retirement visa be renewed?

Yes, for another five years on the same terms as the first issue, so you meet the same test again. A property owner still needs a home, or homes, worth AED 1 million or more.

Can my spouse and children join me on a retirement visa?

Yes. Your spouse and children get five-year family permits on the retirement visa. A daughter over 18 needs proof of her marital status from Dubai Courts, and a son over 18 a study certificate.

Do I need to be in Dubai for a retirement visa?

Yes. Only the applicant attends, with no escort or representative, so your dates matter if you live abroad. We plan the appointment around your travel.

Check your retirement route

We check your property or income against the Dubai tests before your appointment.
