Fund Investors Have a Dedicated Golden Visa Pathway
Beyond the real estate and direct business investment pathways, the UAE Golden Visa programme in 2026 includes a dedicated route for investors who deploy capital through UAE-based investment funds. This pathway recognises that fund investment is a commercially equivalent form of UAE capital deployment even though the investor does not own a company directly.
Qualifying Fund Investment
To qualify through the fund investment pathway, an investor must deploy a minimum of AED 2 million into a UAE-based investment fund that has been approved by the Ministry of Economy for Golden Visa qualification purposes. The fund must be a registered UAE entity with a physical presence and a verifiable track record.
How to Confirm Fund Approval
Not all UAE investment funds qualify for the Golden Visa fund pathway. The investor must confirm in advance that the specific fund they intend to invest in has received Ministry of Economy approval for this purpose. JSB Incorporation can assist with confirming fund approval status before any investment commitment is made.
Documentation Required
- Confirmation letter from the fund manager confirming the investment amount and fund approval status
- Investment agreement or subscription documentation
- Proof of payment of the investment amount through UAE banking channels
- Passport and personal identification documents of the investor
