Taskeen is the Dubai Land Department's programme for the 2-year, renewable property investor residence visa - the shorter-term alternative to the Golden Visa. Since April 2026 there is no minimum property value for sole owners, while co-owned property requires AED 400,000 per co-owner - a change published through the DLD Cube Centre after the GDRFA-DLD unification and reported by Khaleej Times and Gulf News; no separate numbered circular has been published, so confirm current thresholds with GDRFA Dubai or an Amer centre before applying. Unlike the Golden Visa, the standard six-month absence rule applies.

Why it matters It is the entry-level residence route for owners below the AED 2 million golden-visa line.
