What to research before buying in Dubai Marina.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes. Since 2002, non-UAE nationals can buy 100% freehold property in designated zones across Dubai, with full ownership rights, no nationality restrictions, and no requirement to be physically present in the UAE for the purchase.
Read answer →What is the Dubai Golden Visa property investment threshold?
The UAE Golden Visa requires a minimum property investment of AED 2 million (approximately USD 545,000), either a single property or a combined portfolio. The visa grants 10 years of renewable residency, covers the holder's spouse, all children regardless of age, and parents, with no minimum-stay requirement in the UAE.
Read answer →Are Dubai off-plan property investments safe?
Yes, when bought from a RERA-licensed developer through proper channels. All off-plan funds in Dubai must be held in escrow accounts supervised by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA); developers can only draw against verified construction milestones. Combined with the major developers' track records since 2002, this makes Dubai one of the most regulated off-plan markets globally.
Read answer →How does the Dubai off-plan payment plan work?
A typical Dubai off-plan payment plan requires 10–20% on signing, 40–60% spread across construction milestones over 2–4 years, and the balance at handover. Major developers offer post-handover plans extending payments 2–5 years after key collection, with no interest. All payments go to a RERA-supervised escrow account, not the developer.
Read answer →Can foreigners get a mortgage in Dubai?
Yes. UAE banks offer mortgages to non-resident foreign buyers at loan-to-value (LTV) ratios up to 50–60% (resident foreigners qualify for up to 80%). Typical interest rates in 2026 range from 4.5% to 6.5% fixed for 1–5 years, with terms up to 25 years. Mortgages are generally only available on completed property, not off-plan.
