Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?

Yes, non-residents can purchase freehold properties in designated areas of Dubai.

What is a freehold property?

A freehold property grants the buyer full ownership of the property and the land it stands on.

Leasehold properties are leased for a period, typically 99 years, after which ownership reverts to the freeholder.

Dubai does not impose annual property taxes, making it attractive for investors.

Dubai offers tax-free returns, high rental yields, world-class infrastructure, political stability, and strong global appeal.

Selecting the property, signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and paying the deposit.

No, non-residents can buy property without residency.

Yes, through a Power of Attorney and online registration with DLD.

Passport copy, Emirates ID (if applicable), and proof of funds.

Between 2–6 weeks, depending on financing and documentation.
