Dubai Residency Services

Description (Copy/Paste into the dashboard Description field)

If you own a property in Dubai or you’re planning to settle here after retirement, choosing the right visa pathway can feel confusing documents, eligibility rules, and multiple authorities. At Laguna Life, we provide Dubai residency services end-to-end: we check eligibility, prepare and validate your file, and guide you through each step until your residency is issued. Final approval depends on the relevant authorities, and requirements may change.

What this service includes

You get help with document review, data accuracy (especially matching your passport name with the title deed), guidance on supporting items like health insurance and medical tests, and structured follow-up on application status based on the pathway you qualify for.

Residency types we can help you with

1) 10-Year Property Investor Golden Visa

Best for: property owners/investors in Dubai whose property value typically meets the AED 2,000,000 threshold (single or multiple properties under the applicant’s name).

Common eligibility & file notes

·       Dubai title deed(s) in the applicant’s name; sometimes an official evaluation certificate is needed to confirm market value.

·       If the property is mortgaged/financed: a bank/developer NOC and a statement of account are commonly required.

·       Applicants are often required to be physically inside the UAE during key stages of the process.

·       Joint ownership may be accepted, but the applicant’s share usually must meet the minimum required value.

Common benefits

·       Long validity period (10 years) and long-term stability for residence planning.

·       Ability to sponsor eligible family members for the same duration (subject to regulations).

2) 2-Year Property Investor Residency

Best for: Dubai property owners with a property value typically starting from AED 750,000.

Common eligibility & file notes

·       Dubai title deed meeting the minimum value.

·       If financed: NOC + mortgage statement showing paid and remaining amounts.

·       A Dubai Police Good Conduct Certificate may be requested (case-dependent).

·       Additional proof may be needed for developer-financed or under-construction properties.

3) 5-Year Retiree Residency

Best for: retirees who are typically 55+ and want to live in Dubai post-retirement.

Common eligibility & file notes

·       Age requirement + valid passport.

·       Proof of eligibility under the retiree program; this may include property ownership typically starting from AED 1,000,000 (or an equivalent share in a joint title deed).

·       Usually renewable as long as eligibility criteria continue to be met.

Key benefits of securing residency via property or retirement

·       Legal stability to live in Dubai and plan long-term.

·       Potential family sponsorship options (depending on visa type and eligibility).

·       Easier access to residency-linked services (insurance, ID processes, etc.).

·       Clear renewal pathway as long as you keep meeting the requirements.

How we work

1.       Quick consultation & eligibility check based on your property value, ownership structure, financing status, and age (if retiree).

2.       Custom document checklist and pre-review to avoid missing items.

3.       File preparation: data validation, translation/legal attestation guidance when needed, and photo/spec guidance.

4.       Submission coordination & follow-up: online submission support (or the applicable channel) and status tracking.

5.       After-approval guidance: medical test/biometrics/insurance steps until residency and Emirates ID are issued.

What’s the difference between the 2-year property residency and the 10-year Golden Visa?

The main difference is the validity period and the eligibility threshold. The 2-year pathway usually starts at a lower property value, while the 10-year Golden Visa generally requires a higher value and offers longer-term stability. We help you compare both routes based on your title deed, ownership structure, and financing status.

What are the typical minimum property values for each option?

Commonly referenced thresholds in Dubai are AED 750,000 for the 2-year property residency, AED 2,000,000 for the 10-year property Golden Visa, and AED 1,000,000 (plus age requirement) for the 5-year retiree residency. Criteria can be updated by authorities, so we validate the latest conditions for your case.

Can I apply if my property is mortgaged or developer-financed?

Often yes. In many cases you’ll need an NOC from the bank/developer and a mortgage statement showing paid and outstanding amounts. For certain scenarios, additional documentation may be requested. We review your financing structure and map it to the required paperwork.

Can I sponsor my spouse and children?

In many cases yes, but the rules depend on visa type and eligibility. Some long-term visas allow family sponsorship for the same validity period, with additional conditions for dependents and supporting documents. We guide you through the applicable sponsorship route.

What documents are commonly required?

Most applicants will need: a clear passport copy (often with 6+ months validity), a compliant personal photo, Dubai title deed(s), and health insurance. Depending on the pathway, you may also need a bank/developer NOC, an official property evaluation, or a good conduct certificate. We provide a tailored checklist.

How long does it take to get residency issued?

Timelines vary based on visa type, file completeness, and authority processing. Submitting a complete, accurate file from day one is the best way to reduce delays, and we support that with structured follow-up.
