Dubai Property Investor Visa 2026: No Minimum Property Value for Sole Owners

Dubai has updated its Dubai property investor visa eligibility criteria, making residency through real estate more accessible for investors.

According to the Dubai Land Department, property owners can now apply for a residency visa regardless of the property value, provided the ownership is under a single name.

For joint ownership cases, each investor must hold a minimum share value of AED 400,000 to qualify.

Key eligibility conditions remain in place:

• The property must be completed
• A valid title deed is required
• Mortgage properties require partial payment and bank approval

This update is expected to open the Dubai market to a broader range of investors, particularly those entering with smaller budgets.

Areas such as Jumeirah Village Circle and Dubai South are likely to see increased demand due to more accessible entry points.
