Resident visa for real estate in Dubai

To live in the UAE or stay here for longer than a long-term visa allows (30-90 days), you need to obtain a residence permit in Dubai or another emirate of the UAE. The main document granting the right to reside indefinitely in any of the country's seven emirates is a resident visa. If you do not intend to work or start a business here, purchasing real estate in the UAE worth 750,000 dirhams (USD 205,000) is the best solution. In this case, a resident visa for real estate in Dubai is issued for 2 years with the right to extend it.

Investor visa for real estate in Dubai and the UAE: conditions for issuance and features

Only foreigners who have one of the visas permitting temporary residence in the country can obtain a resident visa for real estate in Dubai (UAE).

A resident visa in the UAE through the purchase of real estate is issued if the following conditions are met:

The minimum cost is 750,000 dirhams (AED) per person or family, provided that the marriage is officially registered. At the same time, a visa for investors in UAE real estate is issued even when purchasing a home on credit, provided that 50% of its cost is paid;
The property has been commissioned and registered as the investor’s property;
the size of the dwelling corresponds to the number of members in the investor’s family.

Key features of a resident visa issued when purchasing real estate:

the possibility of obtaining a residence permit for the investor’s family members;
The requirement to reside permanently in the country – staying outside the UAE for more than 180 consecutive days may result in the cancellation of your visa;
prohibition on employment in the UAE for visa holders.
