style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It should be a residential property, not a commercial one. Make sure you explore and invest in a residential property only. You can find these properties in freehold areas such as <\/span>Jumeirah Village Circle, The Meadows, Dubailand, etc. There is no shortage of options for foreigners in these freehold areas.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The property&#8217;s purchase value should be at least 1 million AED. If it is a huge property and you only own a unit of it, make sure the value of your stake in the property is not less than a million AED. Fortunately for property investors, the UAE made a few amendments in 2019. Earlier, you had to invest at least 1 million AED in one property, but now it can be the overall value of two properties. Besides that, the residency visa for owning a <\/span>Dubai property <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is also applicable for buying commercial properties like office space. So, if you want to run a business and wish to have an area of your own in Dubai, you can get that and apply for a residency visa without any hassle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Make sure the property construction is complete. Under construction properties, no matter how much it costs you (even if it&#8217;s more than a million AED), will not be counted. This means you cannot apply for or get a residency visa with such a property.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Validity_of_a_Dubai_Resident_Visa\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Validity of a Dubai Resident Visa<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The validity period of this visa through buying a property in Dubai is somewhere between one to three years, depending on the ownership of the property. But you can quickly get it renewed or extended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Essential_Documents_to_Apply_for_a_Residency_Visa\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential Documents to Apply for a Residency Visa<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are wondering what documents to prepare or submit for a residency visa in the UAE, take a look below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A Title Deed (to prove property ownership)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Property<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Purchase\/Sale contract<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Passport size photographs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Property owner&#8217;s copy of the passport\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Existing Visa Copy (whether it is a tourist or visit visa)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Perks_and_Challenges_of_Dubai_Residency_Visa_via_Property\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perks and Challenges of Dubai Residency Visa via Property<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Challenges-of-Dubai-Residency-Visa-via-Property.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1467 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Challenges-of-Dubai-Residency-Visa-via-Property.jpg\" alt=\"Challenges of Dubai Visa \" width=\"1110\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Challenges-of-Dubai-Residency-Visa-via-Property.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Challenges-of-Dubai-Residency-Visa-via-Property-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Challenges-of-Dubai-Residency-Visa-via-Property-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Challenges-of-Dubai-Residency-Visa-via-Property-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a residency visa through a property in Dubai comes with a set of challenges and perks. These include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This visa is a good choice for those who are serious about property investment in the UAE. So, if property investment isn&#8217;t something you want, you can apply for a residency visa through company registration.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The validity of a residency via a property is between one to three years, while it is three years straight through company registration.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A residency visa via property does not give you the right to work in UAE or Dubai.

Things become even easier when you know which forms to submit, which documents to arrange and what payments to make. Learning about all this, as well as medical check-up&#8217;s, in advance is better.

It requires you to visit the Dubai authorities\/office just once only when your presence is mandatory. You will be accompanied by the professional or agency managers during this visit. Everything else will be taken care of by them. Since they are experienced, they will also ensure that it takes as little time as possible. They will, however, charge a hefty amount for this.

In the latter scenario, you need to have shares in the company that cost at least 72,000 AED. The former choice requires you to make a capital contribution of 72,000 AED for a company set up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one comes under the Golden Visa scheme introduced by the UAE government. The project was designed to benefit investors that grant them and their dependents a long-term visa. There are specific terms and conditions attached to it, though. You can find all about it on the official government website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remote_Work_Visa\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Remote Work Visa<\/span><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you work for a UAE-based company but live outside the country, this visa is the perfect choice for you. Remote work visas come under the virtual working program of the government, explicitly meant for start-ups, entrepreneurs and working professionals. The working professionals require meeting criteria and follow steps like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Submit employment proof with a validity of at least a year in the contract\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You need to have a salary of at least 5,000 AED per month.
