Allsopp & Allsopp Private Office
Golden Visa and luxury property in Dubai
Last updated
A property purchase of AED 2 million or more can support an application for a ten-year UAE Golden Visa. Every home the Private Office represents is above that level, usually far above it, from about AED 36 million.
The visa is not a reason to buy a super-prime house, and it is not something we grant. Your lawyer or the relevant authority decides the application. We explain the property side and introduce you to counsel if you need it.
The property rule, as published
The published route is a property worth at least AED 2 million. Off-plan can qualify in some cases, on conditions set by the authorities, including which developers qualify. Rules are updated. We check the current position with your lawyer rather than relying on a page that may age.
What this office does, and does not do
We find and sell the home, and we explain the Dubai Land Department transfer, including the 4% fee. We do not file the visa, and we do not tell you that a purchase guarantees one.
Questions
- Does buying a luxury home in Dubai qualify me for a Golden Visa?
- A property purchase of AED 2 million or more can support an application for a ten-year UAE Golden Visa. Homes the Private Office represents sit well above that level. Your lawyer can confirm the documents.
- Does a AED 36 million home qualify for a Golden Visa?
- The published property route starts at AED 2 million, so a home at about AED 36 million is above that threshold. Qualification is decided by the authorities, not by the brokerage. Take legal advice.
- Is there property tax on luxury homes in Dubai?
- There is no annual property tax in Dubai. Buyers pay a one-off Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% of the price, plus registration and agency fees.
- Can I buy a Dubai home through a company or a family office?
- Yes, in many cases. Private buyers often hold prime Dubai homes through a company or a family structure. The right vehicle depends on your residency and tax position, so we work with your own lawyers from the start.
