How this calculator works
The checker records your selected route and tests the AED 2,000,000 benchmark where ICP publishes it for public-investment and real-estate planning. Professional, talent and entrepreneur routes require category-specific evidence or authority endorsement, so this tool does not decide them.

When should I request manual review?
Choose manual review where the tool shows an unsupported work type, scheme, historic service period, special termination case, immigration exception or inconsistent records.
