Golden Visa Family Fees on the DLD Investor Card
DLD’s Golden Visa investor service prints AED 9,884.75 for the owner, plus family and parents lines — fee literacy before you brief sponsorship.
The Dubai Land Department (DLD — دائرة الأراضي والأملاك) prints a full fee schedule on its Golden Visa application — Investor service for property owners. That card is the desk for the ten-year renewable residence permit linked to Dubai freehold — and it lists what you pay for the investor, for a spouse and children, and for parents. Orientation only — not immigration advice.
Primary: DLD — Golden Visa application - Investor. The Golden Visa here means the long-stay UAE residence route for qualifying property investors; DLD’s investor service is the Dubai property walk that feeds that file. This piece is the fee literacy card for family sponsorship on that desk — not a rewrite of the mortgaged-property bank letter (21 September) and not a Taskeen (تسكين — DLD’s two-year owner residence) overview.
What the investor line actually costs
For the investor, the live DLD page lists these printed amounts:
- Medical examination: AED 700
- Emirates ID (10 years): AED 1,153
- Confirmation of residency permit (10 years): AED 2,856.75
- Dubai Land Department fees: AED 4,020
- Administrative fees: AED 1,155
The page prints the total as AED 9,884.75. Payment methods listed: bank transfer, credit card, cash. Service time: 7–10 business days. The applicant must attend in person — escorts and representatives are not allowed to apply.
Family and parents lines on the same card
Family residence permit for 10 years is printed at AED 5,774.50, plus AED 318.75 to open the family sponsorship file. Parents residence permit for 10 years is also printed at AED 5,774.50. The page adds a note: AED 100 for each sponsored person. Those are DLD’s printed figures on the investor Golden Visa service — verify live before you quote a client package.
Eligibility printed on the same page still starts with property value of AED 2 million, wholly owned by the investor (one or more properties under the applicant’s name). A mortgaged property is allowed when a no-objection bank letter shows the bank does not object to residence on the property and states the paid amount and the balance — with proof of an AED 2 million paid amount as the page currently words it. The applicant must be inside the UAE. Those eligibility lines are the frame; today’s brief is the fee schedule beside them.
Why investors and agents care
Many client briefs stop at “AED 2 million gets the Golden Visa.” The DLD card also prices medical, Emirates ID, residency confirmation, DLD fees, admin, and then a separate family and parents stack. Agents who open with the printed total and the family/parents lines avoid sticker-shock after the title deed is ready. Investors who plan to sponsor a spouse, children, or parents can build the cash buffer from the same page — not from a WhatsApp estimate.
Define the next process words the client will meet: a Golden Visa (here) is the ten-year renewable residence permit DLD offers for qualifying property investors; an Emirates ID is the federal identity card tied to residence; a no-objection bank letter is the mortgage bank’s written clearance when the property is financed; Taskeen is DLD’s separate two-year owner residence desk — different fees, different duration, different eligibility print.
What agents should put in the client brief
Open with one calm primary sentence: on DLD’s Golden Visa investor service, the investor total is printed at AED 9,884.75 (medical, Emirates ID, residency confirmation, DLD fees, admin); family residence for 10 years is AED 5,774.50 plus AED 318.75 to open the sponsorship file; parents residence for 10 years is AED 5,774.50; AED 100 is added per sponsored person; service time is 7–10 business days; attendance is in person.
- Printed now — investor total AED 9,884.75; family AED 5,774.50 + file AED 318.75; parents AED 5,774.50; AED 100 per sponsored person; 7–10 business days; in-person only; channels include Al Manara Center (Cube) and the trustees listed on the page.
- Still to watch — live fee updates on the DLD page; the client’s exact ownership and mortgage paperwork; ICP / GDRFA steps after DLD; health insurance and attested civil documents for dependents.
- Not on this card — a claim that every AED 2 million listing auto-approves residence; a personalised immigration opinion; a recycled Taskeen sole/joint explainer; invented fine or fee amounts.
How this sits next to recent Kyora papers
The 21 September paper was the mortgaged-property bank letter on the same DLD Golden Visa investor desk. The 19 August Taskeen guide was the two-year owner permit (sole title / AED 400,000 joint share). Yesterday was Corporate Tax filing on EmaraTax. Today is fee literacy for family and parents sponsorship on the property Golden Visa card.
Checks before you rewrite a listing or a memo
Cite the live DLD Golden Visa investor service before you reuse the AED 9,884.75 / 5,774.50 / 318.75 / 100 figures. Keep Golden Visa fees separate from Taskeen fees. Do not invent amounts. Confirm the client is inside the UAE and that title or mortgage documents match the printed eligibility before a decision.
Orientation only — not personalised immigration, tax, investment or legal advice. Always verify the live DLD wording and the applicant’s actual file before a decision.
