Where a property purchase might place you.
The short answer
It depends on the value of what you own and on criteria the UAE authorities set and revise, so no calculator can answer it, including this one. What this tool does is show where a purchase price sits relative to the property routes people commonly cite, and who a holder can generally sponsor, so you know which questions to put to a licensed immigration adviser before you structure a purchase around the answer.

Questions
Asked and answered
Is this an eligibility decision?
No, and it cannot be. Criteria are set by the UAE authorities and change, and an application turns on your circumstances as well as the property. This shows where a purchase sits against commonly cited thresholds so you know what to ask. DLX does not process visa applications. We will introduce you to licensed advisers who do.
Can I sponsor my family?
