Requirements for UAE Resident Visa including 750k Property Visa

UAE Resident Visa including 750k Property Visa

UAE is one of the most exciting countries to live and work in. The country is safe and entertaining for family life. However, you need to have a Residence visa to stay and work in Dubai.

However, the residence visa policies don’t make it easy for everyone to apply for it. To encourage everyone to work and live in Dubai as an ex-pat, the Government has launched a new visa scheme known as the residency and golden visa scheme that allows foreigners to live, work and study in the UAE without requiring any Emirati sponsor.

The Government of Dubai has made it easy for the investors to acquire a 3-year visa, reducing the minimum financial investment from 1 million Dirhams to 750,000 Dirhams. The news was updated on the Dubai Land Department’s website.

This visa option is only available from the Dubai Land Department Taskeen Programme, where the investor is expected to buy a freehold residential property for a minimum of 750,000 Dh or more. The visa also enables the owner to sponsor family and is valid as long as the investor has the property under his possession.

This makes the prospect of living and investing in Dubai appealing and easier than before.

Who can Buy Property in Dubai?

According to the new policies, anyone can invest in the real estate sector of Dubai if they have got the money. You don’t have to be an Emirati or work as an ex-pat to buy a property. There is also no age bracket for the investors. However, the freehold properties are available for purchase in the specifically designated areas to earn foreign investment for the country. But the good news is that there are various freehold areas across Dubai.

What type of Property will be Considered, and for what value?

The properties available for sale are the ones that are 100% ready and not undergoing construction. Secondly, they shouldn’t be going through a dispute. The purchase value, which is mostly different from the current market value of the property, must be a minimum of AED 750,000 or more. You have paid at least 50% of the payment and have the property transferred under your name.

You can apply for a UAE investor visa if you have 750,000 AED or more and want to invest in single or multiple properties.

If multiple people are the owners, then everyone is eligible for the Dubai investor visa, considering that each of the owners has a share of 750,000 AED or more in the purchase value.

If a property is owned by a husband and wife together, then both can apply for a UAE investor visa even if the total purchase value of AED 750,000 is divided between them. However, the only additional requirement is an attested marriage certificate in a husband-wife joint property case.
