Dubai has relaxed the requirements for its two-year real estate investor residency visa, removing the minimum property value threshold for sole property owners while introducing a Dh400,000 minimum investment per person for jointly owned properties, in a move designed to broaden investor eligibility.
Under revised rules issued by the Dubai Land Department through its Cube platform, the previous Dh750,000 minimum for individual ownership has been scrapped, provided the applicant is the sole owner of the property.
For jointly owned assets, authorities now require each investor’s share to be worth at least Dh400,000, including cases where ownership is divided equally between partners.
The update forms part of Dubai’s wider efforts to increase regulatory flexibility, attract more investors, and strengthen its competitiveness in the global real estate market.
