Investing in Dubai — frequently asked questions
Yes. Foreign nationals, including Dutch, Belgian and other EU citizens, can buy freehold property in Dubai's designated freehold areas with full ownership — no UAE residency or citizenship is required to purchase.
The UAE levies 0% personal income tax and 0% capital gains tax on individuals. There is a one-off ~4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee on purchase. If you remain a Dutch tax resident, home-country rules (such as Box 3) and the tax treaty may still apply — JRE connects you with the relevant tax specialists for personal tax advice.
Gross rental yields in Dubai typically range from about 6% to 9% depending on the area, property type and whether it is short- or long-let. Actual returns depend on the specific unit and are never guaranteed.
The Golden Visa is a long-term (typically 10-year) UAE residency. Property investors can qualify from AED 2,000,000 in real estate. It offers residency for the investor and family without the need for a local sponsor.
Yes. UAE banks offer mortgages to non-residents, typically up to around 50% loan-to-value, subject to approval and documentation. JRE works with a UAE banking network to arrange suitable financing.
