Dubai Eases Visa Rules for Single-Property Buyers, Scraps Minimum Property Value Requirement

Dubai has introduced new reforms to its property-linked residency visa system, significantly easing entry for real estate investors. Under the updated rules, individuals who fully own a single property in Dubai can now qualify for a renewable 2-year residency visa regardless of the property’s value.

Previously, applicants were required to invest a minimum of AED 750,000 to be eligible. That threshold has now been removed for sole owners, opening the door for first-time buyers and lower-budget investors to obtain residency more easily.

For jointly owned properties, the authorities introduced a new condition requiring each investor to hold at least AED 400,000 equity share to qualify.

Officials say the policy is designed to boost foreign investment, widen access to Dubai’s real estate market, and strengthen long-term residency opportunities tied to property ownership.

Analysts believe the move will attract more small and mid-level investors, especially in a market already known for strong demand, tax advantages, and global appeal.
