If you are looking for a Golden Visa office in Dubai, the correct place depends on what you need. General Golden Visa applicants can use GDRFA Dubai’s official Golden Visa Appointment service for an in-person verification appointment. Property investors have dedicated Dubai Land Department Golden Visa service channels such as Al Manara Center (Cube). Amer centres provide GDRFA services across Dubai, but the exact Golden Visa service available can vary by centre and case.
Golden Portal UAE is an independent Golden Visa support service. We are not GDRFA, ICP, Dubai Land Department or an Amer centre. This page helps you identify the correct official office or service channel before you travel.
| Your situation | Where to start |
| General Dubai Golden Visa applicant who needs in-person verification | GDRFA Dubai Golden Visa Appointment service |
| Property investor applying through Dubai real estate | Dubai Land Department Golden Visa service channel, including Al Manara Center (Cube) |
| Need GDRFA typing or immigration support | An authorised Amer centre, after confirming that the centre handles the service you need |
| Not sure which authority or office applies | Confirm your Golden Visa category and application channel first |
GDRFA Dubai provides a dedicated Golden Visa Appointment service. It allows a Golden Visa applicant to schedule an appointment to visit a GDRFA office for verification.
The current online process starts by verifying your email address with an OTP, entering your basic details and completing the appointment request. Appointment details are then provided by email.
If you already have a Golden Visa application or have been asked to attend for verification, use the official GDRFA appointment service rather than visiting an unrelated service centre without confirmation.
A Golden Visa appointment is not the same as the initial eligibility check. If you have not yet confirmed your category, start with our UAE Golden Visa requirements guide.
If your Golden Visa is based on Dubai property, the relevant office route is different from the general professional or talent routes.
Dubai Land Department’s current Golden Visa Investor service lists dedicated Golden Visa service channels. One of the main locations is Al Manara Center (Cube).
Purpose: Dubai property-investor Golden Visa services.
Current published service hours:
DLD also lists additional Golden Visa service channels, including a Golden Visa-only service location at Dubai World Trade Centre. Service locations and working hours can change, so check DLD’s current service page before travelling.
For the AED 2 million property threshold, mortgage cases, bank NOCs, co-ownership and documents, see our UAE Golden Visa Property Investment guide.
Amer centres are authorised service centres that provide GDRFA services across Dubai. GDRFA maintains an official directory of Amer and customer happiness centres.
Do not assume every Amer branch handles every Golden Visa task in exactly the same way. Before visiting, confirm the service you need with the selected centre, especially if your case involves nomination, property investment or a category-specific authority approval.
The GDRFA directory currently lists Amer centres across Bur Dubai and Deira, including branches in Al Kifaf, Business Bay, Al Barsha, Al Nahda, Al Garhoud and other areas.
Use the route specified for your case. An Amer centre can assist with many GDRFA transactions, while the dedicated GDRFA Golden Visa Appointment service is specifically for applicants who need an appointment to visit a GDRFA office for verification.
Yes, many Golden Visa steps can start or be completed through official digital channels. Whether you need an office visit depends on your category, current application stage and whether the authority requires verification or original documents.
Do not visit an office simply because you are applying for a Golden Visa. First identify the correct submission route. See our UAE Golden Visa application guide for the online application process and official channels.
| Applicant type | Main office / channel to check |
| Skilled professional, manager or executive | GDRFA Dubai / relevant official application channel; book a GDRFA appointment when instructed |
| Dubai property investor | Dubai Land Department Golden Visa service channels / Cube |
| Student or graduate | Relevant nomination/education authority plus GDRFA/official residence channel |
| Creator, talent or special category | Relevant recommending authority first, then the Golden Visa residence channel |
| Existing applicant needing verification | GDRFA Golden Visa Appointment service if directed |
The correct office follows your eligibility category. A property investor should not automatically follow the same office route as a skilled professional, and a nomination-based applicant may need approval from another authority before the residence stage.
Take the documents relevant to the purpose of your visit. Common items include:
Do not carry a generic document bundle and assume it is sufficient. Check the exact requirements for your category before the visit.
For GDRFA’s dedicated Golden Visa verification visit, use the official Golden Visa Appointment service to request an appointment.
For DLD property-investor service channels and Amer centres, appointment or walk-in arrangements can depend on the service and location. Check the current channel before travelling.
Working hours differ by office and can change during Ramadan, public holidays or operational updates.
For property-investor Golden Visa services, DLD currently publishes Al Manara Center (Cube) hours as 8:00 am to 2:30 pm Monday to Thursday and 8:00 am to 11:30 am on Friday.
For GDRFA appointments and Amer centres, check the appointment confirmation or the official GDRFA centre directory for the selected branch before visiting.
