Can I get the Golden Visa with multiple properties?
Yes — the AED 2M threshold can be met across a portfolio of properties, provided combined market value (per DLD valuation) meets the requirement.
Does mortgaged property count?
Only the equity portion you've personally paid counts toward the AED 2M threshold.
