How much does a golden visa cost in UAE 2025?

As of 2025, the base cost for a golden visa in the UAE starts at AED 2,800. This includes a 10-year residency for investors, entrepreneurs, and exceptional talents, plus additional fees for health insurance and processing. As someone who applied for the golden visa last year, I found the process straightforward but it’s crucial to ensure all your documents are in order to avoid any delays. Pro tip: Check the official GDRFA website for the most current requirements and fees.
