What is 居留权?
在特定国家合法生活和工作的法律权利，在UAE可通过工作签证、房产投资（投资者签证）或黄金签证等多种途径获取。持有合法居留签证是外籍人士在迪拜申请按揭贷款和进行大多数金融交易的前提条件。
Description
Residency, in a property investment context, refers to the legal right to reside in a country granted to foreign nationals who meet investment thresholds. Many countries offer golden visa or investor visa programs that link property purchase to residency rights.
The UAE offers several property-linked residency pathways:
2-year investor visa: No minimum property value for sole owners, AED 400,000 per investor for joint ownership (April 2026 update)
10-year Golden Visa: Property valued at AED 2,000,000 or more (can be off-plan from approved developers)
The visa also covers the investor's spouse, children, and in some cases domestic staff. Multiple properties can be combined to reach the threshold.
This plays an important role in the overall risk and return profile of a real estate portfolio, particularly in fast-moving markets.

How to interpret
UAE residency through property investment is a dual-purpose outcome: the property generates income while the residency provides lifestyle benefits including long-term visa security, access to UAE banking services, and a stable base for doing business across the region. For investors from countries with volatile currencies or limited investment environments, residency adds a strategic dimension beyond pure financial return.
The Golden Visa threshold of AED 2 million means investors are typically looking at well-built properties in established communities. This alignment between visa eligibility and investment standard helps avoid lower-grade assets purchased purely for the residency benefit at the expense of returns.
