Dubai integrates property, retiree and 10-year Golden Visa tracks into one fast-lane system

Dubai has collapsed three separate property-based residence schemes (Golden, Retiree and Property Owner visas) into a single GDRFA-run workflow linked directly to Land Department databases. The change keeps the AED 2 million investment threshold but promises to cut processing times by half, easing corporate relocations and giving investors a smoother, one-stop path to long-term UAE residency.
