The United Arab Emirates Golden Visa is open to qualifying investors regardless of nationality, so Turkish citizens apply on the same terms as other foreign investors. There is no nationality bar reported for Turkish applicants.
You must hold a valid passport, pass security and health checks, and meet the financial threshold for your chosen route. Confirm any document or attestation requirements that apply to Turkish paperwork with the official authority before you apply.
The most common route for investors is property. The reported minimum qualifying property value is AED 2 million, and the property must sit in an approved area and be registered in your name. Mortgaged and combined holdings can count toward the threshold provided the lender issues a no objection letter.
Other Golden Visa categories exist for entrepreneurs, skilled professionals and people with specialised talent. Check the current list of categories and thresholds with the official authority.
Processing times vary by emirate, route and how complete your file is. The authority does not publish a single fixed timeline that fits every case, so treat any quoted speed as indicative and confirm current expectations with the official authority.
The figures below are indicative only. Confirm the amounts that apply to your route and emirate with the official authority.
The investor Golden Visa is a long term residency that generally allows you to sponsor family members and live in the United Arab Emirates without a national sponsor. It does not by itself grant citizenship. Confirm the current benefits with the official authority.
