Dubai, a city that continues to refine its policies to attract global investment, has updated its two year real estate investor residency visa rules by removing the minimum property value requirement for sole owners.
Under the revised framework issued by the Dubai Land Department via its Cube platform, the earlier Dh750,000 property value threshold for individual ownership has been scrapped. Sole investors can now qualify for the residency visa regardless of the property’s total value, provided they are the sole owner.
For jointly owned properties, a minimum individual investment of Dh400,000 per investor has been introduced. This applies even in cases of equal ownership, with eligibility determined by each investor’s share rather than the overall property price.
Bottom line
This latest adjustment reflects Dubai’s ongoing approach of adapting regulations to strengthen its real estate market, attract global capital, and maintain its position as a leading destination for property investment and long-term residency.
As the market grows and shows strong long term potential, we guide investors toward well positioned properties that offer steady returns, helping them make clear and confident investment decisions.
