Golden Visa

Kaia residences valued at AED 2 million or more qualify the buyer to apply for the UAE Golden Visa — a 10-year renewable residency for real estate investors, whose minimum property threshold is AED 2M. Larger residences and the 4-bedroom duplexes sit above that line. The core long-term demand driver is Dubai Islands itself: a government-backed waterfront master destination of five islands, beaches, marinas and resorts within 15 minutes of Dubai International Airport and Downtown — a scarce beachfront address on Dubai's historic Deira coastline.
