Pension Visa in the UAE for Foreigners: Turnkey Processing with StableGrowz
The “Retire in Dubai” government program grants foreigners aged 55 and older the right to a five-year visa.

The Dubai Retirement Visa is a long-term residency visa for retirees in the UAE, issued for 5 years with the right to renewal provided the eligibility criteria are met. Unlike the Golden Visa, applying for a UAE Retirement Visa does not require an investment of at least 2 million AED; instead, it offers three financial options: real estate, savings, or a regular income from a pension or other source. This is a residence permit that is not tied to an employer and does not require the holder to be physically present in the country at all times.
