About the document
What it covers Summary table of golden-visa categories; investors: minimum capital AED 2 million, or tax contribution of AED 250,000 a year.
Notes Page "Updated On: 28 Jul 2026". Its table still lists "5 years (real estate investments)", which contradicts the 10-year real-estate permit on the GDRFA, DLD and ADRO pages and in the 2022 Cabinet summary; treat the duration column with caution.
