DUBAI: Dubai has introduced relaxed property visa rules, offering investors a 2-year residency visa upon purchasing real estate in the emirate.
Under the revised policy, authorities have eased conditions for property-based residency visas, providing greater flexibility for investors. One of the key changes is the removal of the requirement for a single-owner property to meet a specific minimum value for eligibility.
Officials stated that residency visas will now also be granted for jointly owned properties. However, each investor’s share in a shared property must be at least AED 400,000 to qualify for the visa.
The move is part of Dubai’s broader strategy to attract foreign investment in its real estate sector and strengthen long-term economic growth. By simplifying visa requirements, the government aims to make property investment more accessible to a wider range of international buyers.
Experts say the policy could boost demand in Dubai’s property market, particularly among small and mid-level investors who previously found single-ownership thresholds restrictive.
