Dubai Drops Minimum Investment for Solo Property Buyers’ Two-Year Residency Visas

Dubai has removed the minimum property value requirement for single-owner investors to qualify for a renewable two-year residency visa. Previously, solo buyers needed to invest at least AED 750,000 in a single property. Co-owners must still meet individual financial thresholds. This update applies only to the standard two-year visa and does not affect premium or long-term options. Officials say the reform aims to attract mid-level and first-time international investors and sustain growth in Dubai’s real estate. Analysts expect increased demand in the mid-range market and stronger foreign participation. Real estate executive Ritu Ojha notes that safeguards for joint ownership will prevent system abuse while widening access for solo investors.
