Documents and legalisation

You will usually need a police certificate from France and from every other country you have lived in recently.
Where to apply
Apply through ICP (or GDRFA in Dubai) once the qualifying asset is registered; medical test and Emirates ID in the UAE.
Buying property for residency
Off-plan and resale property can qualify when the developer, price and title meet the programme rules. We work with offplanproperty.com for off-plan projects, and with Belgrave Estates for relocation and resale searches, and check every purchase against the residency rules before you commit.
