Dubai’s Golden Visa program has significantly strengthened foreign investor confidence in the real estate market by providing long-term residency to property buyers. The initiative, which offers a 10-year renewable visa for investors purchasing property worth AED 2 million or more, has encouraged expatriates to settle in Dubai for extended periods. This has resulted in increased demand for residential properties, particularly in the luxury and mid-tier segments, as landlords feel more secure about tenant stability.
With expatriates staying longer, rental markets have also benefited, as landlords experience lower turnover rates and more consistent rental income. The program has contributed to a rise in property values and overall market growth, making Dubai a more attractive destination for global investors. Additionally, the confidence instilled by long-term residency options has positioned the city as a key hub for expatriate professionals, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals looking for stability and financial benefits.
