High rental yields
A stable economy
Over the last few decades, Dubai has diversified its economy, from solely depending on the oil production, into becoming a global touristic hub. The emirate welcomed over 7.28 million visitors between January and December 2021 (Dubai Tourism, 2022).
GDP rose by 5.9% to AED 102 billion in Q1 2022, fuelled by strategic initiatives and various supportive economic programmes.
Safe environment & high living standards
With an extremely low crime rate and listed as one of the safest countries in the world, investing in a property in Dubai provides you with promising reassurance you would not be able to find in other bustling metropolitan cities. It is regarded as a safe haven for both tourists and residents, as it is so closely monitored and strictly controlled.
New visa laws
There are certain visa laws that have been introduced, that enable property investors to obtain a residence visa, depending on certain circumstances:
Properties with a value above AED 1 million, you may be entitled to a 2-year residency visa.
Properties with a value above AED 5 million, you may be entitled to a 5-year residency visa.
Similarly, for properties valued above AED 10 million, you may be entitled to a 10-year residency visa.
Furthermore, Golden visas are another new gateway into long-term residency in the UAE through purchasing a property. With an investment of as little as AED 2 million, UAE real estate investors can now have access to a golden visa.
No taxes imposed
