Dubai Drops AED 750K Investor Visa Floor to Zero

Dubai has just made a game-changing policy shift for property investors. The emirate has removed the AED 750,000 minimum property value requirement for its 2-year investor visa, opening the doors to a much wider pool of buyers and residents.  

• No Minimum Property Value: Sole owners of any property in Dubai can now apply for investor residency.  
• Joint Ownership Rule Updated: Each investor must hold at least AED 400,000 share. For example, two buyers of an AED 800,000 apartment can both qualify — a benefit that wasn’t available before.  

Who Benefits  

• First-Time Buyers: Studio and 1-bedroom buyers below AED 750K now qualify for residency.  
• Couples & Partners: Joint purchases grant both investors residency rights - one property, two visas.  
• Smaller Investors: Those previously priced out can now enter the market, making Dubai more accessible to global talent and capital.  

While many countries are tightening residency and investment rules, Dubai is simplifying the faster processes, lower barriers and more attractive for those who want to live and build a life, not just park capital  

This isn’t just about real estate. It’s about smart policy driving smart growth, positioning Dubai as one of the most welcoming global hubs for investors, professionals, and families alike.
