Why Dubai
No hype, no invented yields: just how the market is set up.
The UAE doesn't levy personal income tax on individuals. Your home country may still tax you, so get tax advice for your own situation.
Owning one or more Dubai properties worth at least AED 2 million in total can make you eligible for the 10-year Golden Visa through the Dubai Land Department. Mortgaged property can qualify with a bank NOC.
Non-UAE nationals can own freehold property in designated areas under Dubai Law No. 7 of 2006, including Downtown, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and JVC.
Under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, off-plan payments go into a project-specific escrow account instead of straight to the developer.

FAQ

💬 Ask on WhatsAppYes. Non-UAE nationals can buy freehold property in designated areas of Dubai under Law No. 7 of 2006. These include popular communities such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Village Circle. Ownership is registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
Off-plan means buying before or during construction, usually on a staged payment plan. Under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, off-plan payments go into a project-specific escrow account. Before paying, check the project's registration, escrow account and construction progress on the DLD's Dubai REST app, and only pay into the escrow account.
Owning one or more properties with a combined value of at least AED 2 million can make you eligible for the 10-year Golden Visa through the Dubai Land Department. Mortgaged property can qualify if the bank provides a no-objection certificate. Criteria are set by the UAE authorities and can change, so we confirm current requirements with you before you buy.
Main extras: the DLD transfer fee (4% of the purchase price), registration and admin fees, agency fees on resale purchases, and annual service charges once you own the unit. Mortgage buyers also pay bank and valuation fees. Your guide includes a full cost checklist.
Not always. Many international buyers reserve and pay for property without relocating, and some steps can be handled through a registered power of attorney. We'll explain which steps need you in person, if any.
No single developer is best for everyone. It depends on your budget, timeline and whether you want capital growth, rental income or a Golden Visa. Compare each developer's delivery record, the specific project's location and payment plan, and the escrow registration. Our directory above is a starting point, and we can shortlist projects for your brief.
The Dubai Off-Plan Investor Guide 2026 covers how off-plan buying works, how to verify a project and its escrow, the AED 2M Golden Visa route, how to compare developers and areas, and a full cost checklist. You'll also get alerts and developer price lists when new projects launch.
No. We only contact you about Dubai property that fits what you told us, and you can opt out any time. We never sell your details.
