Why the number appears
Revenue, capital and investment thresholds are used in some Golden Visa routes, and agents often quote one figure as if it applied to everyone. The conditions depend on the route (investor, entrepreneur, property, skilled professional), the emirate and the issuing authority, and they have been revised.
What we can and cannot confirm
- We do not treat “AED 1 million revenue” as a universal Golden Visa rule.
- Some routes ask for evidence of business income or capital; the amount and the way it is measured differ.
- Only the issuing authority can confirm the threshold that applies to your case today.
How to verify before you rely on it
- Ask the authority or your zone for the current written criteria for your route.
- Ask which documents prove revenue (audited accounts, tax filings, bank statements).
- Keep a dated copy of the answer.
