What Is the Dubai Retirement Visa?

The Dubai Retirement Visa is a 5-year renewable residency permit designed for individuals aged 55 and above who wish to enjoy long-term residency in the UAE after retirement. The programme allows eligible retirees to live in Dubai without requiring an employer sponsor, provided they continue to meet the applicable financial requirements.

Whether through property ownership, savings, retirement income, or a combination of qualifying assets, the retirement visa offers a flexible pathway for retirees seeking stability, security, and access to the UAE’s world-class lifestyle, healthcare, and infrastructure.

Who Can Apply for a Dubai Retirement Visa?

Applicants must generally be:

Aged 55 years or above, or
Have completed a substantial professional career and meet the relevant retirement criteria

In addition, applicants must satisfy at least one of the approved financial eligibility routes.

Property Ownership Route

Retirees may qualify through property ownership in Dubai.

To be eligible, applicants generally need to own one or more completed properties with a combined value of at least AED 1,000,000. The property must be properly registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD).

Mortgaged properties may also qualify, subject to the applicable requirements and supporting documentation from the financing bank.

Joint ownership between spouses is permitted, provided the required supporting documents are submitted.

Savings Route

Applicants may qualify by maintaining qualifying savings with a UAE financial institution.

Supporting documentation from the bank is required to verify the funds and confirm compliance with the retirement visa requirements.

Monthly Income Route

Retirees with a stable retirement income may qualify through the income pathway.

Applicants are generally required to provide:

Recent bank statements
Proof of pension or retirement income
Supporting documentation confirming the source of income

The income must satisfy the applicable minimum financial threshold at the time of application.

Combined Property and Savings Route

In certain cases, applicants may combine qualifying property ownership and savings to meet the overall financial requirement.

This option provides additional flexibility for retirees whose assets are distributed across different investment categories.

Family Sponsorship Benefits

Dubai Retirement Visa holders may sponsor eligible family members, including:

Spouse
Dependent children

Sponsored family members receive residency permits linked to the primary applicant’s retirement visa validity.

Additional documentation and health insurance requirements apply for all sponsored dependents.

Health Insurance Requirement

Valid UAE health insurance is mandatory for all retirement visa applicants and sponsored family members.

Property Requirement	AED 1 Million	AED 2 Million

Eligibility assessment

Government application submission
Medical fitness examination
Emirates ID biometrics

Our team assists with every stage of the process, ensuring all documentation is prepared correctly and submitted through the appropriate government channels.
