Can the property be anywhere, or only in certain areas?
It must be freehold property in a designated freehold/investment zone where foreigners can own, evidenced by a full title deed; leasehold usually does not count. Residential and some commercial units qualify. Importantly, each emirate counts only its own property: a Dubai Golden Visa uses Dubai real estate, while Abu Dhabi and others run separate schemes — verify area eligibility before buying.
Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
