4. RAK Executive Council Pre-Approval for Golden Visa
One of the important steps in the Ras Al Khaimah property Golden Visa process is obtaining the required Executive Committee pre-approval, also commonly referred to as Executive Council pre-approval.
Before proceeding with the Golden Visa application, the investor’s property documents and ownership details must be reviewed and submitted for the required pre-approval.
The process generally involves:
- Collecting the required property and personal documents.
- Checking the property investment value and eligibility.
- Reviewing the SPA, Oqood, title documents or valuation certificate.
- Preparing and submitting the file for Executive Council / Committee pre-approval.
- Receiving the relevant pre-approval before proceeding with the Golden Visa application.
Pre-approval is an important stage, but it does not automatically guarantee final Golden Visa issuance.
5. UAE Presence Requirement for Property Owners
The property owner must be physically present inside the UAE when submitting the Golden Visa application.
Investors currently residing outside the UAE can arrange their document preparation and initial pre-approval checks in advance. However, they must plan their UAE visit for the final immigration application and the required procedures.
Depending on the applicant’s circumstances, further steps may include entry permit processing, current visa cancellation, change of status, medical fitness examination, Emirates ID application and residence visa issuance.
