How to buy property in Dubai in 2025: a guide for foreign investors
01.10.2025

Real estate in Dubai remains one of the most popular investment vehicles in the world. Every year, thousands of buyers from Europe, the CIS and Asia choose this emirate to save their capital, earn a high income and live a comfortable life.

Thanks to the policy of openness and flexible legislation, foreigners can buy property in Dubai — from cozy skyscraper apartments to luxury beachfront villas and lucrative commercial properties.

Why is it worth investing in Dubai in 2025?

  1. High profitability. The average rental yield is 6-9% per annum, and in popular areas it reaches 12%.
  2. Reliable investor protection. All transactions go through escrow accounts, and registration is overseen by the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
  3. UAE residence permit.
    • When buying a property from 750,000 AED (≈ €190,000) It is possible to obtain a resident visa for 2 years.
    • When investing from AED 2 million (≈ €500,000) the investor is entitled to “golden visa” for 10 years.
  4. Tax-free environment. There is no personal income or capital gains tax in the UAE.

Where to buy property?

Foreigners can purchase properties in freehold zones, where ownership is fully reserved for the buyer. Among the most popular destinations are:

The stages of buying a property

  1. Object selection — apartments, villas, offices, hotel rooms or commercial premises.
  2. Signing a purchase agreement (SPA).
  3. Payment via escrow account, which guarantees the security of the transaction.
  4. Registering property with the DLD and getting a title (Title Deed).

Investments and residency in the UAE

Buying a property in Dubai is not only about income, but also about status. With a resident visa, you will be able to:

  • live in the Emirates all year round,
  • open a bank account,
  • apply for tax residency,
  • educate children in the best international schools.

And golden visa holders receive additional privileges — the possibility of long-term residence, simplified starting a business and obtaining sponsorship for family members.
