Property buyers shopping at Meraas and Nakheel sales centres can now get direct help with their Golden Visa and investor residency paperwork, after Dubai Holding Real Estate rolled out a service that folds residency support into the purchase itself.
Rather than sending customers elsewhere to sort out their residency status, the company is placing guidance on eligibility, documentation and application steps inside the same locations where buyers choose their properties. The actual applications will go through an approved visa services provider. Nakheel and Meraas are limited to a support role and will not issue visas themselves, according to Al Khaleej Arabic daily.
Among the residency routes covered is the country’s 10-year Golden Visa, open to real estate investors holding one or more properties valued at a minimum of AED 2 million. That option remains subject to the relevant conditions and to approval from the responsible authorities.
Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, framed the move as a way to give buyers more certainty. “Dubai is one of the world’s most attractive destinations to live, invest and build for the future,” he said. “By integrating the Golden Visa and investor residency process into the property ownership journey, we are empowering our customers with greater clarity and confidence as they choose their homes. This service reflects our commitment to making ownership across our portfolio simpler and more closely aligned with the long-term opportunities Dubai offers.”
The company noted that current customers can also tap the service, which is built to standardise how sales teams and brokers handle each case and to smooth the overall ownership experience across its developments.
The rollout feeds into the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, a plan that targets a home ownership rate of 33 per cent, a doubling of the sector’s contribution to the emirate’s economy to roughly AED 73 billion, and a 70 per cent jump in property transactions.
