Dubai has introduced new measures to make its real estate investor residency visa more accessible, removing the minimum property value requirement for individual ownership while setting clearer rules for shared investments.
Under the updated framework issued by the Dubai Land Department through its Cube platform, investors who fully own a property are no longer required to meet the previous AED 750,000 threshold to qualify for a two-year residency visa.
For jointly owned properties, a minimum stake of AED 400,000 per investor is now required, including equal ownership arrangements between partners.
These changes signal a strategic shift toward greater flexibility in Dubai’s property regulations, aimed at attracting a broader base of investors and strengthening the emirate’s position as a competitive global real estate hub.
