Hi everyone,

I recently applied for the UAE Golden Visa under the property investor category through the official GDRFA Dubai website, and it’s been about 12 days so far.

I called yesterday to check on the status, and they told me that everything has already been approved by the Land Department and immigration. However, it’s currently still pending security checks.

I’m a bit confused about why this part is taking longer than expected. I have no criminal history and submitted a clean police clearance certificate. My nationality is Mexican, so I’m wondering if that might play a role, or if this is just part of the normal process.

In total, it’s been around 10 working days (excluding weekends), which feels a bit long.

Has anyone here experienced something similar with their Golden Visa application?
Is this normal, and is there anything I can do to speed things up?

Would really appreciate any insights or shared experiences. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, maybe you can help me out.

This is about the waiting time for the UAE Golden Visa as a real estate investor. I submitted my application through the GDRFA website, and it has now been in “Pending” status for eight days.

In the meantime, I’ve had two video calls with immigration officers. Both independently confirmed that I already have approval from the DLD as well as from Immigration. Apparently, my application is now only waiting for approval from a “committee.”

I have two questions:

How long does it usually take for this committee approval to come through?

What exactly is this committee and what role does it play in the process?

I’d really appreciate if anyone could share their experience or insights.

Thanks a lot!
