Can foreign nationals buy property in Dubai?

Yes. Freehold ownership is available to all nationalities in designated areas, with the title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency is required to purchase, and remote purchase is possible on an attested Power of Attorney.

How much property do I need to buy for a 10-year UAE Golden Visa?

A qualifying property holding of AED 2,000,000 or more opens the 10-year renewable investor residency. Mortgaged property qualifies subject to lender no-objection and the required equity being paid, and spouse and children are included.

What are the total costs of buying property in Dubai?

Budget roughly 7% to 8% of the price above your down payment: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, around AED 4,000 trustee office fee, 2% agency fee plus VAT, mortgage registration of 0.25% of the loan plus AED 290, and a valuation of about AED 3,000.

Is rental income from Dubai property taxed?

The UAE levies no personal income tax, no capital gains tax and no annual property tax, so rent is received gross and resale proceeds are retained in full. Your country of tax residence may still impose reporting or taxation.

What is the minimum down payment on a Dubai mortgage?

Expatriate residents typically need 20%, UAE nationals 15%, and non-resident investors 30%. Non-resident financing is generally available up to 50% to 75% loan-to-value, with terms up to 25 years.
