UAE Government Fee Calculator: Add Up Your Dubai Permit Costs
You want to know what the government charges before you buy anything. This calculator adds the Dubai Land Department fees for the 10-year Golden Visa, the 2-year investor visa or the 5-year retiree visa, for you and your family.
Add up your government fees
Add up the Dubai government fees for your permit and your family in one step. The amounts are the Dubai Land Department's own fee lists, updated 14 October 2026. They cover government fees only: insurance, the property purchase and professional fees are on top.
How we count. The Golden Visa and retiree fees use the Land Department family permit fee for a spouse, a child and a parent, plus the sponsorship file-opening fee the page lists (the Golden Visa page lists it for family files, and the retiree page lists it for family and for parents). The 2-year investor visa uses the Land Department fee for each person, and its parent permit lasts one year. The page also lists AED 100 for each additional sponsored person, which this estimate does not add. Fees for the deposit, company and share routes are on the Golden Residence page.

Frequently asked questions
What does this calculator include?
It adds the Dubai Land Department government fees for the permit holder and for the family members you enter. It does not include insurance, the property purchase, translation or professional fees.
Do the fees apply outside Dubai?
No. The Land Department fee lists apply in Dubai. Other emirates set their own fees, and your partner sets them out for your case.
Can I apply from abroad?
Not through the Land Department service. It says the applicant must be inside the UAE and attend in person, with no escorts or representatives.
Which permit is right for me?
That depends on your funds and your age. Read the UAE Golden Residence page, or use Find my program and we match you with the routes that may suit you.
