Imagine living in Dubai — legally, luxuriously, and tax-free — simply by investing in real estate.
It’s not just a dream. Thanks to the UAE’s investor visa programs, you can now obtain long-term Dubai residency by property investment, giving you full legal rights to live, work, and grow your wealth in one of the world’s safest and fastest-growing cities.
In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about getting UAE residency through real estate, how much you need to invest, the benefits, and how Jarsmak Property Management helps overseas investors through every step.
🇦🇪 Why Choose Dubai for Residency?
Dubai offers an unparalleled lifestyle. Known for its world-class infrastructure, tax-free earnings, and pro-investor policies, it continues to attract High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and global entrepreneurs looking for stability, safety, and smart investing opportunities.
What makes Dubai stand out:
-
✅ No income tax or capital gains tax
-
✅ High ROI from property (6–10%)
-
✅ Political and economic stability
-
✅ Global connectivity (Middle East, Europe, Asia)
-
✅ Top-tier healthcare, education, and safety
And now, with the UAE’s investor visa program, living in Dubai legally while growing your wealth is easier than ever.
🏡 What Is Dubai Residency by Property Investment?
Dubai residency by investment allows foreign nationals to gain 2, 5, or even 10-year renewable UAE residency visas by purchasing real estate in Dubai.
You do not need:
-
An employer or a job offer
-
A business or trade license
-
A UAE national sponsor
Instead, your property qualifies as your visa sponsor.
This is part of the UAE’s broader effort to attract talent, capital, and innovation by offering flexible, investor-friendly residency routes.

Here’s what’s required to obtain UAE residency through property investment:
🟦 Minimum Investment: AED 750,000
To qualify for the 2-year investor visa, you must purchase real estate valued at AED 750,000 or more (approx. USD 204,000). It can be a single property or multiple units.
For a 10-year Golden Visa, the minimum property investment is AED 2 million (~ USD 545,000).
