Strategic Location
The UAE serves as a global hub, connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa, with excellent air travel networks and business-friendly infrastructure.

Property Ownership by Expats
Expats can purchase property in designated areas in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah:
Dubai
Expats can buy freehold property with full ownership in designated zones. Property investments of AED 750,000 or more may qualify for a two-year renewable investor visa.
Abu Dhabi

Unlock Residency and Citizenship Through Property Investment
Residency Options through Property Investment
Golden Visa for Investors: Investors who purchase property worth AED 2 million or more in Dubai can apply for a 10-year Golden Visa, which extends to family members. Key benefits include renewable long-term residency, no employer sponsorship requirements, and the ability to sponsor household workers.
Investor Visa: Investments of at least AED 750,000 in Dubai real estate qualify for a 2-year investor visa. This visa is renewable and covers the applicant and their dependents, allowing them to reside and access services in the UAE.
Path to Long-Term Residency and Citizenship
While the UAE does not automatically grant citizenship through property investment, long-term residency visas such as the Golden Visa offer a stable base for expats. Citizenship may be granted in exceptional cases based on significant contributions to the UAE or meeting specific criteria.
