Can you qualify for a UAE Golden Visa by buying real estate using crypto? December 21, 2025 at 11:07PM

The UAE does not grant Golden Visas for holding cryptocurrency, but it does recognise qualifying real estate ownership. As Dubai increasingly allows property purchases using crypto, investors may access the real estate pathway if ownership is legally registered and properly valued. The route is narrow, documentation-heavy, and subject to regulation, making compliance, both in the UAE and at home, essential.
