Table of contentsFrom the US to Dubai, one investor’s story of confidence, clarity and the cherry on top: the UAE Golden Visa.
Why Ahammed chose the UAE
For Ahammed Hashim, a US citizen and Stake investor, Dubai just made sense.
Safe, stable and globally connected
Culturally vibrant and welcoming
Closer to home than you think
“I have a long place in the heart for the UAE,” Ahammed says. He had fallen in love with the country, long before he knew about the Golden Visa.
Ownership without the hassle
Like many working professionals abroad, Ahammed didn’t want to manage a property - it’s a commitment that requires a lot of time and attention - he just wanted to own one.
Stake offered:
- Registered partial ownership in his name
- A smooth digital-first experience with real returns
- Full transparency from start to finish
“It felt solid. I actually owned something, not just a slice of a spreadsheet.”
The Golden Visa: a bonus that changed everything
The 10-year renewable UAE residency was the perfect perk, just for investing in real estate.
“Of course, the Golden Visa is the cherry on top,” Ahammed says. “But it wasn’t the whole cake.”
For Ahammed, Stake’s end-to-end support throughout the visa process gave him and his family peace of mind. Now they have a home in the UAE, without any restrictions.
Support: Anytime, anywhere
Despite the big time zone gap, Ahammed says the Stake team was always there.
- Quick replies, even in the middle of the night
- Clear updates, no guesswork
- Real people, real support
“The communication was amazing. That’s what made me trust them.”
Why he’d recommend Stake
Ahammed’s advice?
“If you want ownership that’s real, support that shows up, and a residency route that works; it’s all here.”
