The rules this uses

No black box. These are the published thresholds each answer is checked against — the same ones on our visa pages, and the reason a result is never a decision:

RouteThreshold it checks
Golden VisaAED 2M property or deposit · or AED 30,000+/month with an attested degree · or talent nomination
Green VisaAED 15,000+/month skilled role · or freelance licence with a degree · or AED 1M in assets

RetirementAge 55+ with AED 1M in assets or AED 180,000/year

Job explorationSkill level or a ranked degree; no sponsor needed
This is guidance, not a decision. Eligibility depends on documents, nationality, current status and rules that change. The binding answer comes from ICP or GDRFA.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official eligibility check?

No. It compares your answers against the published thresholds for each route and tells you where to start reading. Eligibility decisions are made by ICP and GDRFA, based on your documents and current rules.

Do you store my answers?

No. The selector runs entirely in your browser and nothing is sent to us unless you choose to send an inquiry afterwards.
