Hi,
Could someone share some lights and experience on the process to apply for a UAE golden visa through a AED 2M+ real estate purschase? I am planning soon a trip to Dubai to deal with this (property is bought and I have the title deed), and as the admin of this country is always full of suprises, I would like to get some feedbacks first to prepare.
After lots of time wasted on ICP website and GDRFAD, I understood the application for the golden visa (via real estate purshase) must be made through the Dubai Land Department. https://dubailand.gov.ae/en/eservices/request-for-golden-visa-investor/#/
It seems the application requires a walk in and cannot be made online. I guess for the medical test.
My questions:
- How long does it take to "submit an application", a simple walk in with the required documents + medical test and then it is possible to just leave the country? Or is there some need to stay in the country until the golden visa is approved?
- Does the medical visit actually happens at the center like they say or it needs to be booked separately with the usual smart salem? "A customer will perform a medical examination at the center" they say.
- For the required documents they mention this below, are there actually more they ask for or is that is?
- In my case, my resident visa recently expired, do you know if will they force another finger print appointment or they will be able to use the ones already taken?
- How long did the golden visa process take for you until accepted?
Thanks for your feedbacks.

1- A passport
2- Availability of an e-Certificate of Title / Title deed
3- A personal photo
4- UAE ID (if any)
5- A copy of the current residence permit (if any).
- What is the process when they have accepted your application as regards to the emirates ID, is there a way to get a digital copy of it without going back to UAE? (I need this fast in order keep my phone number active...). Then how do you get your physical emirates ID, another visit to DLD?- In my case, my resident visa recently expired, do you know if will they force another finger print appointment or they will be able to use the ones already taken?
