Yes, a minimum salary requirement applies for skilled employees under the UAE Green Visa. Applicants must earn at least AED 15,000 per month to qualify under this category. This ensures that the Green Visa is granted to professionals with the ability to sustain themselves and their families in the UAE. For freelancers and self-employed individuals, instead of a fixed salary, the requirement is proof of annual income of at least AED 360,000 over the past two years or financial solvency. Investors are assessed based on their business investment value and official approvals.
