Legal aspects

The laws of real estate in Dubai are favorable to investors, though they require careful consideration before entering. The laws encompass rules related to foreign ownership, regulations from the Department of Economic Development (DED) and the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), and real estate-related visas — the Golden Visa, which allows for 10 years of residency, and the Investor Visa, which allows for 3-5 years of residency.
