Golden Visa Eligibility Checker

What this checks

An indicative test against the headline thresholds for the three most common Golden Visa routes. It will not tell you that you definitely qualify — nothing can, short of an assessment against your actual documents — but it will tell you quickly if you definitely do not.

If you fall short on salary

The most common near-miss is someone earning between AED 15,000 and AED 30,000 basic. They do not reach the Golden Visa bar — but they are very likely eligible for the Green Visa, which is five years, self-sponsored, and gives six months of grace if a job ends instead of thirty days.

The checker flags this automatically, because it is the single most useful thing we can tell someone in that band.

What this tool does not check

• Degree equivalency — attestation alone is often not enough for regulated professions
• Occupation classification — salary alone does not carry the professional route
• Nomination-only categories — several of the expanded 2025–26 routes operate by nomination rather than open application, and filing directly against one wastes the fee
• Outstanding fines or open cases, which will hold the file regardless of eligibility
• Title deed structure — how ownership is actually registered matters more than the headline value

Full criteria for every route, including the expanded categories for nurses, teachers, content creators and e-sports professionals, are in Golden Visa eligibility in 2026.
