    Dubai’s Golden Visa requirements relaxed for property investors

    by

    Lifeby Ruman Baig4 hours ago Dubai has recently revamped the eligibility criteria for the coveted 10-year Golden Visa, specifically targeting property investors.The noteworthy change involves the elimination of the previous Dhs1 million down-payment requirement, a move set to redefine the landscape for those seeking this long-term residency privilege.Under the new regulations, prospective Golden Visa recipients are now required to invest in properties with a minimum value of Dhs2 million. This significant adjustment liberates investors from the earlier financial burden of the mandatory Dhs1 million down-payment, offering a more accessible pathway to the esteemed 10-year golden residency.This shift in dynamics means that even those opting for off-plan units can now qualify for the Golden Visa with a considerably reduced down payment, potentially as low as Dh50,000.Introduced in 2019, the Golden Visa initially targeted exceptional talents, offering a decade of residency under their own sponsorship. Over the subsequent years, the eligibility categories for the UAE Golden Visa have undergone expansions, providing a broader spectrum of individuals the opportunity to establish permanent roots in the country.Dubai’s decision to eliminate the hefty down-payment requirement aligns with the broader objective of attracting foreign investment and fostering a thriving real estate market. The move is anticipated to stimulate increased interest from potential investors, as the barriers to entry for the Golden Visa program have now been significantly lowered.This strategic initiative not only positions Dubai as a more attractive destination for property investment but also reinforces the city’s commitment to adapting policies in response to the evolving needs of the global investor community.– For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and InstagramImages: Instagram @visitdubai More

      Regardless of whether you’re a seasoned local or an aspiring explorer of new neighbourhoods, Datahub lays out the most recent property deals spanning sales and rentals. The data can be fine-tuned to reflect the past week, two weeks, or even windows of 30, 60, or 90 days.

      Over the last few years, Dubai has cemented itself as a hub for business, leisure and tourism which, in turn, has led to many moving to the emirate to set up homes.
      No longer can Dubai be seen as just simply a transient city, more and more people are making it a permanent base, which has seen a rise in property investment.
      But for those new to the UAE or new homeseekers in general, knowing where to start to look can be a daunting task. However, one such platform that is a go-to for finding a forever home – or even renting – in Dubai is Property Finder.
      In recent data by the PropTech company, it was found that one of the biggest priorities for buyers in the UAE was trust due to experiences with unreliable agents, false listings, late responses and more.
      Thus, this has led PropertyFinder to launch its ‘SuperAgent’ category. But, what exactly is a SuperAgent? Well, according to the website, it’s a “super-qualified agent who will provide you with an easy and hassle-free home-seeking journey… always looking to provide the best quality property listing and respond faster than any other agents to the home seeker’s needs”.
      The ranking by PropertyFinder is entirely data-driven, which is based on the individual agent’s performance, making it easy for buyers to discover exactly which SuperAgent will match their criteria.
      With over 5,500 available on PropertyFinder, utilising this tool of SuperAgent really does help homeseekers decipher who the best of the best is.
      Given that here at Emirates Woman we love to champion the incredible women in this region, we decided to take a deep dive into some of the best female SuperAgents on PropertyFinder specialising in luxe properties across the emirate.
