Published on 2025-12-02 | Press Release

Bahrain has officially reduced the minimum real estate investment required for its Golden Residency (Golden Visa) from BHD 200,000 to BHD 130,000 (≈ USD 345,000). The update makes long-term residency more accessible for expats and international investors through property ownership.

Under the revised rule, buyers who own one or more freehold properties in Bahrain with a combined value of at least BHD 130,000 can qualify for a 10-year renewable residency visa.

What This Means for Property Buyers

• More Golden Visa–eligible properties at lower entry points
• Easier access to premium freehold communities
• Stronger appeal for lifestyle buyers and long-term investors
• High-demand locations such as Amwaj Islands, Bahrain Bay, Diyar Al Muharraq, and Seef District are now within reach of a wider buyer base.

Why It Matters Now

With new developments underway and demand rising toward 2026, the lower threshold creates a timely entry point into one of the GCC’s most stable and investor-friendly property markets.
