Do I need a local employer or sponsor?

No. Full independence from any local employer, sponsor, or guarantor is one of the key features.

Is buying property enough to qualify?

Yes, if the property meets the AED 2M+ threshold and ownership is documented with a valid title deed.

Can a professional qualify without investment?

Yes. Professionals in approved fields can qualify based on salary, degree, and professional standing.

How long is the visa valid?

Most pathways are valid for 10 years. The visa is renewable if eligibility conditions continue to be met.
