Process
How to apply.
Ensure the property is registered at the Dubai Land Department in your name. For off-plan, the Oqood certificate confirms your ownership interest before handover.
Book a valuation with a DLD-approved valuator. The certificate confirms the property meets the minimum threshold (AED 2M standard, AED 1M mortgaged alt).
Apply online through the ICP portal or in-person at GDRFA Dubai with title deed, passport, valuation, and health insurance.
Visit a service center for fingerprints and photo. Emirates ID is issued 5–10 working days later.
Visa is stamped in your passport with 10-year validity. Dependents can be sponsored under the same visa.
