Frequently Asked Questions

Things people wonder about Dubai.

Can foreign investors buy real estate in Dubai and is there a freehold right?
Yes. Within the scope of legal regulations enacted by the Dubai government, foreign investors can own 100% of the property in all "Freehold" zones across Dubai. Equivalent to condominium ownership in Turkey, in this system you have the lifetime full ownership right of your property; you can sell, rent out, or leave your real estate as an inheritance to your family whenever you wish.
What taxes do I pay when buying a residence or earning rental income in Dubai?
Dubai is one of the real estate markets with the most advantageous zero-tax regime in the world. No annual property tax, rental income tax, stamp duty, or dividend/capital gains tax (0% Tax) is applied during and after housing purchases. The only official cost is the one-time 4% title registration fee paid on behalf of the Dubai Land Department (DLD) at the time of purchase.
How to get a 10-year Golden Visa (residence permit) by buying a house in Dubai?
When you purchase one or more properties (ready or under construction/off-plan) with a total value of at least 2,000,000 AED (approximately 545,000 USD) in Dubai, you earn the right to a 10-year renewable Golden Visa. This residence permit covers the investor, spouse, all children without age limits, and domestic workers. Also, there is no obligation to reside in the UAE for a certain period to protect your visa.
When buying housing off-plan, is the completion of construction and my money legally secure?
Yes, Dubai has the strictest audited construction regulations in the world. According to RERA (Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Agency) rules, all installment payments you make are transferred directly not to the construction company, but to the state-controlled Escrow Account. The developer cannot take a share of the money in this account without completing the independent audit-approved progress stages determined in construction. This mechanism puts your money under 100% government guarantee.
Can I manage the rental and operational processes of the property I bought without going to Dubai?
Absolutely. Thanks to our licensed local property management business partners, your process is managed without needing to go to Dubai. Tenant finding, legal contract (Ejari) preparation, dues tracking, and routine maintenance procedures are carried out professionally; the obtained foreign currency rental incomes are transferred uninterruptedly directly to your bank account in Turkey or any country you wish.
