Your Dubai property may open a residency pathway.
A current comparison of Dubai Land Department’s 2-year Taskeen property-investor residence and the 10-year property Golden Residence route, with the older source sheets retained only where they add historical context.

The 2-year Taskeen route and the 10-year Golden Residence have different eligibility logic. Current authority requirements override older comparison sheets.
Current verification
This page was cross-checked against current Dubai Land Department and ICP public guidance. Earlier source sheets used an AED 750,000 threshold for the 2-year route; DLD’s current Taskeen service instead states that an individual property owner may apply regardless of property value, while a joint owner’s share must be at least AED 400,000. The current DLD Golden Visa service continues to use AED 2 million for the 10-year property route.
01 / Choose the route
Start with the ownership position.
10-Year Property Golden Residence
AED 2,000,000+
Current DLD guidance allows a 10-year renewable residence for qualifying real-estate investors with property purchase value of at least AED 2 million. Mortgaged property can qualify subject to the required bank evidence.
02 / Ownership scenario
The documents change depending on how the property is held.
Fully Purchased
Use the current electronic title deed / title evidence in the applicant’s name. Eligibility depends on the route and ownership share, not one universal property-value threshold.
Core evidence: Title DeedBank Mortgaged
For the 10-year DLD route, mortgaged property can be accepted with bank evidence showing the paid amount and confirming no objection. The exact bank wording should be checked before submission.
Core evidence: Bank NOCOff-Plan / Developer
Current ICP guidance recognises qualifying off-plan units totalling at least AED 2 million when purchased from an approved local real-estate company. The exact Dubai processing channel and document set should be checked before filing.
Core evidence: ISA + SOAShared by Spouses
Joint ownership and family sponsorship have separate evidence requirements. The applicant’s own qualifying share and relationship documents should be checked against the chosen route.
Core evidence: Attested marriage certificate03 / Document pack
Prepare the file before the application starts.
Electronic Title Deed / title evidence for DLD routes; qualifying off-plan documentation may apply under the relevant ICP route.
Clear passport copy; the supplied sheets state the passport should be valid for more than six months.
Old Emirates ID where applicable.
High-quality applicant photo. One 10-year source sheet specifically notes that it should match ICP photo specifications.
Bank NOC for a bank-mortgaged property.
Statement of Account for qualifying off-plan/developer scenarios.
Current ICP Golden Residency guidance requires comprehensive valid health insurance for the investor and family throughout the residency period.
Attested marriage certificate when the qualifying property is shared between spouses.

When an old sheet and the live authority differ, the live authority wins.
AED 750K threshold / older fee assumptions
The documents supplied earlier were useful for the original investigation but contain criteria and costs that no longer match DLD’s current Taskeen service page.

DLD / ICP public guidance
The live Taskeen service now uses ownership-based eligibility, while the 10-year property Golden Residence continues at AED 2 million with current DLD/ICP conditions.
Vantablack rule
Historic case files remain useful for showing the investigation process, but pricing and eligibility are rechecked against the current authority before a client receives a recommendation.
06 / Current DLD planning figures
Use live figures for client planning.
Authority fees and service requirements can change. Vantablack reconfirms them before quotation or submission.
Vantablack support
We start by checking the property, not by selling the visa.
Vantablack first reviews the property value, ownership status, title or sale documentation, mortgage position, developer payments, spouse ownership and applicant identity. Only then do we narrow the client to the appropriate residency route and document pack.
