Bank Statement for the Dubai Golden Visa
The UAE golden visa grants 5 or 10 year residency to investors, entrepreneurs, professionals, and retirees — and every category has a financial-proof component. Property investors document purchase funds, retirees show savings or income, and professionals evidence salary levels. Bank statements are the common thread. Here is what each route needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

- The headline route is real estate worth AED 2 million or more, alongside routes for entrepreneurs, specialized talents, and high-salary professionals. Requirements are updated periodically — check the current ICP criteria.
- Do salaried professionals need bank statements?
- Yes. The professional category requires evidence of a qualifying monthly salary, and statements showing consistent salary deposits back up the employment contract and salary certificate.

- Retirees over 55 can qualify through savings, income, or property meeting published thresholds. Statements proving the savings balance or pension deposits are core documents.
