Golden Visa in Dubai for a Mauritian investor: threshold and conditions

For an investor based in Mauritius considering a purchase in Dubai, residency almost always comes up in the conversation. The UAE Golden Visa is the relevant route, and its property threshold is clear: an investment of at least AED 2 million. Everything beyond that, exact conditions, required documents, how a family's file is processed, is confirmed with the UAE authorities at application time.

The threshold and the principle

The UAE's official portal states that a property investment of at least AED 2 million opens the door to a Golden Visa application, under conditions. It is not an automatic right attached to the purchase: it is an entry point into an application reviewed by the relevant authorities. No specific visa duration is stated here: it is confirmed with the authorities at the time of filing.

How the threshold maps onto a Prestige One purchase

At Prestige One, working out what 20% of the Golden Visa threshold represents gives a useful anchor: 20% of AED 2,000,000 is AED 400,000, and the 4% DLD registration fee on that same amount is AED 80,000. These are figures derived from the official threshold, not project prices: the exact starting prices for Coastal Haven, Hilton Residences, FAUCHON Résidences, Luxury Canal Residences, Sanctuary Residences or Golf Residences remain on request, confirmed by your adviser for the typology you choose.

What a Mauritian investor should prepare

To move forward on a Golden Visa application linked to a property purchase, a typical file includes:

the signed sale or reservation contract for the unit;
proof of payment for the invested amount;
identity documents and, where the application covers family members, documents establishing the family relationship.

The exact list and eligibility conditions are confirmed with the authorities at filing time; Orven points you toward the right steps without standing in for them. Our reference guide on Golden Visa through a Dubai property, the AED 2 million threshold explained covers the threshold and the general principle.

Family members in the application

Many Mauritian investors ask about including a spouse and children. The Golden Visa route in principle allows certain family members to be included, but the exact scope, and the documents required for each, are confirmed with the authorities rather than assumed to be identical for every file.

How the investment and the application connect

The Golden Visa application is not independent from the property purchase itself: the file submitted to the authorities relies on the sale contract and proof of payment for the property concerned. This means a Mauritian investor needs to move both processes forward in parallel, rather than treating the purchase as settled and residency as a simple formality to handle afterwards. Your Orven adviser helps you line up the two timelines, the payment schedule and the application filing, without ever standing in for the authorities on the final decision.

Moving forward from Mauritius

An investor based in Port Louis, Grand Baie or Ebene can handle most of the file remotely: choosing the project, reserving, paying by transfer, before filing the Golden Visa application once the property is registered. Our guide on buying property in Dubai from Mauritius covers the full path for a Mauritius-based buyer, from reservation to registration.

What residency does not replace

Obtaining a Golden Visa does not clarify your tax status in Mauritius or in your current country of residence. UAE residency is a distinct status from tax residency, and the two should not be assumed to align automatically. A Mauritian investor benefits from setting this distinction out clearly with a local tax adviser before treating the Golden Visa as a complete answer to their personal situation.

FAQ

Does AED 2 million automatically secure the Golden Visa? The threshold opens the door to an application, under conditions. The final grant depends on the authorities reviewing the file, not solely on the amount invested.

Does the Golden Visa have a fixed duration? No specific duration is stated in this guide. It is confirmed with the authorities at application time.

Can I reach the threshold with an off-plan unit at Prestige One? That is a realistic option depending on the final price of the unit chosen, which remains on request. Your adviser checks with you whether the invested amount reaches the required threshold.

Do I need to travel to the UAE to file the Golden Visa application? Some identity verification steps may require an in-person presence. Your Orven adviser confirms, case by case, what can be handled remotely.
