Bahrain Lowers Golden Visa Investment Threshold to BD130,000
Ashwini Gambo
Bahrain has taken a significant step to attract more long-term investors by reducing the minimum real estate investment required for its Golden Visa from BD200,000 to BD130,000. The decision forms part of the kingdom’s broader strategy to strengthen its position as a competitive regional hub for residence, business, and investment.
The lowered threshold is expected to stimulate demand in the high-end property market by making residency through investment more accessible while upholding the programme’s rigorous standards. Bahraini authorities aim to strike a balance between increasing investor participation and maintaining the integrity and prestige associated with the Golden Visa.
This move aligns with ongoing national efforts to create a welcoming environment for global professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors seeking long-term stability in the region. Industry analysts anticipate that the updated criteria will enhance the kingdom’s appeal, diversify the investor base, and further energize Bahrain’s growing real estate sector.
