Dubai keeps gaining the interest of expats due to the entertainment facilities, warm climate, job opportunities, and a business friendly environment. In 2024, the government declared the reduction of the minimum investment requirement for gaining the investor visa.
Resultantly, expats have the opportunity to apply for an investor visa after buying real estate for a minimum cost of AED 750k. Before this change, the investor visa was available to the ones buying a home for a minimum cost of AED 1 million.

What Is Dubai Investor Visa?
Also called Dubai partner visa, this particular visa is perfect for expats who wish to invest in an existing business, kickstart their own business, or invest in real estate. The visa enables them to work and reside in the UAE, while sponsoring their family members. Investor Visa is valid for 3 years.
The flourishing business environment and blooming economy of the UAE attracts foreigners from different countries to pursue investment opportunities or initiate their business. For these people, the government has introduced a separate visa category known as the Dubai partner visa or investor visa.
