The United Arab Emirates Golden Visa grants long term residence to qualifying investors, property owners and talented professionals. Bangladeshi nationals apply on the same terms as other foreign nationals. This page explains the routes and where to confirm the current figures.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
There is no nationality bar that excludes Bangladeshi applicants. The Golden Visa covers several categories, including real estate owners, public investors, entrepreneurs and people with specialised talent. Applicants show qualifying assets or status, a clean record and supporting documents.
Each category has its own test, such as a minimum property value certified by the land department. Confirm the precise category rules and document list with the official authority before you apply.
A common route is property ownership, where the certified value of one or more properties reaches the published threshold. Other routes include public investment, entrepreneurship and categories for specialised talent and high achievers.
In February 2026 the authority removed the earlier requirement that a set share of the property value be paid up front, so eligibility now turns on the certified total value. Confirm which route fits your situation, and the current published thresholds, with the official authority.
The Golden Visa is issued for a long term period, commonly five or ten years depending on the category, and renews while the conditions are met. There is no sponsor requirement.
Processing time depends on the category and the completeness of the file. Confirm current processing times and renewal terms with the official authority.
For the property route the dominant cost is the qualifying real estate, which is held as an asset. Government issuance, medical and identity fees are separate. Use the table as a checklist and confirm each figure with the official authority.
