Dubai has announced new updates to the requirements for granting a two-year property investor residency, in a move aimed at making the emirate’s real estate market more accessible and attractive to a wider range of investors.
The updated conditions were published through the official website of the Cube Centre, which operates under the Dubai Land Department and provides services for real estate investors.
Under the revised rules, the minimum property value required for an individual investor has been removed. Previously, an investor needed to own a property worth at least AED 750,000 to qualify. The new condition applies when the investor is the sole owner of the property.
For jointly owned properties, the updated rules clarify that if ownership is shared equally between two investors, with each holding 50%, the value of each investor’s share must not be less than AED 400,000.
The move reflects Dubai’s continued efforts to make its real estate regulations more flexible and investor-friendly. It also supports the emirate’s position as a competitive destination for property investment, both regionally and internationally.
By easing the entry requirements for individual property owners, the update could help attract more investors to Dubai’s real estate sector, while maintaining clear rules for cases involving shared ownership.
