What are the documents required to cancel my Dubai Golden Visa?

If the applicant is inside the UAE:

• Passport: High-resolution color scan of the bio page (valid for 6 months).
• Digital Residency: Access to your digital visa/Emirates ID via the UAE Pass or Dubai REST App.
• Title Deed: A copy of the Dubai Land Department (DLD) Title Deed to unlink the property.
• Police Clearance: A "Good Conduct Certificate" from Dubai Police (often required in 2026 to ensure no pending local liabilities).

If the applicant is outisde the UAE:
In 2026, the rules for being outside the country are much simpler for Golden Visa holders because their residency does not expire regardless of time spent abroad.

1. Staying outside for any duration (Less or More than 1 year):

• Scanned Passport: Color scan of your original passport.
• Digital Title Deed: To prove the property being unlinked.
• Reason for Cancellation: A brief statement (digital form) indicating why you are cancelling (e.g., property sale).

2. If the Golden Visa has already expired while abroad:

• Passport Bio Page: Clear color scan.
• Expired Visa/EID Copy: To identify the file in the GDRFA system.

Automatic Cancellation: In many cases, if the property is sold, the DLD system will flag the visa for "Administrative Cancellation," but you should still trigger a manual request via the REST app to ensure your record is clean for future travel.
