Looking for a secure and flexible way to live in the UAE long-term — without buying property or starting a business? The UAE Golden Visa through bank deposit offers a straightforward and low-risk pathway to obtain a 10-year residency with full access to the country’s world-class infrastructure, healthcare, and education systems.
What Is the Golden Visa by Bank Deposit?
This residency route allows you to obtain a 10-year Golden Visa by placing a bank deposit of AED 2 million (approx. USD 545,000) into a fixed deposit account in a UAE-accredited bank for just 2 years. After the 2-year term, you can withdraw your money — but your visa remains valid for the full 10 years, making this one of the most investor-friendly options available.
Key Benefits of the UAE Golden Visa
Holding a Golden Visa gives you nearly all the privileges of a UAE resident, including:
• Bank account opening — No need for employment or local sponsorship.
• Long-term property rental — Sign 1–3-year tenancy contracts with ease.
• UAE driver’s license — Eligible to apply or exchange based on nationality.
• Access to education — Enroll your children in top-tier private schools and universities.
• Health insurance eligibility — Get covered under local medical insurance plans.
