A UAE residence visa grants the right to live and work in any of the 7 emirates. In most emirates, obtaining a two-year residency visa requires a real estate investment of at least 750,000 AED. In Dubai, the minimum property value requirement has been eliminated, and owners of existing properties of any value are eligible to participate in the program. As long as you keep the property in ownership and follow local laws, the UAE residence visa can be extended an unlimited number of times.
A spouse can be added to the visa application, as well as children under the age of 18. In addition, spouses may enter into an agreement to jointly own real estate worth AED 1,000,000 or more. In Dubai, each co-owner’s share must be at least 400,000 AED.
The government’s policy is aimed at attracting new investors allowing the use of mortgages for ready properties with a down payment starting at 50% of the property value, as well as for properties under construction (off-plan). With flexible payment terms, real estate in Dubai can be purchased with a down payment of 10–15% and installment payments spread over a period of two to five years after the project is completed.
Besides the possibility of long-term residence, the UAE residence visa allows you to conduct business on more favorable terms. Foreign citizens are exempted from double taxation by obtaining a tax residency certificate.

If the property is purchased with a mortgage, at least 50% of the property’s value must be paid in full.
A minimum investment of AED 2,000,000 gives the opportunity to obtain a Golden Visa for 10 years. The property may be at any stage of construction. The investor can take a mortgage in one of the UAE banks with a down payment of at least 20%.
