NRI buyer guidance

In Dubai, foreign nationals — including NRIs — can buy freehold property in designated areas, and many Emaar communities are freehold. A qualifying property investment, generally from AED 2 million, can support eligibility for a UAE Golden Visa (long-term residency), subject to current government criteria. Dubai has no annual property tax, though fees such as the Dubai Land Department transfer fee apply. White Collar Realty guides you through eligibility, process and paperwork; confirm visa and tax specifics with the relevant authorities.
