The property investment limit was 1 million AED earlier and was reduced in September 2021. Obtaining this Visa allows the investor to become a resident of the UAE and exercise varied benefits, including family sponsoring, getting an Emirates ID, and a driving license.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Year_Property_Visa\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5-Year Property Visa<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investors who wish to invest in a property worth 2 million AED can apply for the 5-year property Visa UAE.
