About this service
Retirement Visa with Qube Business Solutions
The UAE retirement visa is open to applicants aged 55 and above who satisfy one of three financial tests: property holdings, cash savings, or a regular monthly income. It grants five years of renewable residency.
The retirement visa requires you to be at least fifty-five and to satisfy one of three financial tests: property worth AED 1 million, savings of AED 1 million, or a monthly income of AED 20,000. Only one needs to be met, which is the point most applicants misunderstand.
Evidence is the practical hurdle. A pension statement must be recent and clearly show the monthly figure, savings must sit in a UAE account in most cases, and property must be valued rather than self-declared. We review what you hold and advise which route gives the cleanest application.
