- Both routes require category-specific proof.
- Public-investment and real-estate evidence are not interchangeable.
- Choose based on the asset you genuinely intend to hold.
Public-investment route
Official criteria may be met through qualifying fund deposits, company capital or other specified investment evidence, subject to ownership of the capital and the current authority rules.
- Evidence from an approved fund or entity
- Company capital or tax contribution where applicable
- Proof the capital is owned, not borrowed
- Valid health insurance
Property route
The property route is based on qualifying UAE real estate and land-department evidence. Current rules address minimum value and may permit financing through approved local banks, subject to authority requirements.
- Title or approved off-plan evidence
- Qualifying aggregate property value
- Approved financing documentation
- Local authority confirmation
Decision factors
Consider liquidity, investment horizon, asset concentration, financing, succession and whether the evidence will remain valid through renewal.
