Hala refused by subject
I cannot advise on residency from a property purchase - the rules change and we hold no authoritative text on them. The ICP and the emirate's land department publish the current thresholds, and a licensed conveyancer will confirm what a specific purchase qualifies for.
The rules, as we publish them
Golden Visa · AED 2,000,000 or more · 10 years, renewable · Spouse, children, parents. A mortgaged property can qualify. Issued by ICP / GDRFA.
Retirement visa · AED 1,000,000, or savings, or income · 5 years, renewable · Spouse. Age 55 and over. Issued by GDRFA / ICP.
Not dated: no read date is recorded for these thresholds. They are set by the government and can change — confirm the current requirement with ICP or GDRFA before you buy.
PropDirect is a property marketplace, not an immigration agent. We file nothing with either authority.

Regulatory Intelligencetrust.regulatoryWhether an authoritative text on residency is heldRefused by subject: no authoritative text on residency is held, so Hala gives no residency answer—
The rules of each emirate, retrieved and cited: tenancy law, short-stay rules, cross-border rules for NRI buyers - marked where we have not confirmed them.
- The ICP and the emirate's land department publish the current thresholds
Off-Plan Intelligenceoffplan.intelligenceA residency intent on an off-plan reservationDid not run here: a residency intent is recorded on a reservation, never on this page—
A project from interest to reservation: the briefing, the payment plan against escrow milestones, and what a default or a residency intent means - never inventing availability.
