On the one hand, Dubai is to become more sustainable, but on the other hand, it is also planned to increase the economy and the population. Within the last 60 years, the population has already shot up from 40,000 to 3.3 million. Now, this number is to be almost doubled by 2040. Despite the rising population, Dubai boasts a low unemployment rate.

Various other programs are working towards optimizing life in Dubai, which is why investments are being made in the areas of education, the economy, development policy, and community cohesion in particular.

The dazzling visions will be aspired to by the city in the coming months and years and will make Dubai all the more attractive and exciting for buying a property. But where is it worth buying a flat in Dubai? Find out in the following paragraph.

Top 7 reasons why buying a flat or house in Dubai is worthwhile

  1. Attractive returns and tax advantages

    Particularly advantageous when buying a property in Dubai is the return, which is between 5 and 8 %. If you move to Dubai, you save some taxes compared to the tax authorities in DACH. For example, there is no income tax in Dubai on income from home and abroad.

    Cultural diversity

    As people from all over the world move to Dubai to create a new living space in the innovative and luxurious ambience, a wide variety of cultures are represented in Dubai. This is only possible because Dubai is generally open to foreigners. Thus, the city inspires with many different offers for people of all origins.

    Free visa

    Buying a flat in another country is of course also related to the conditions of the visa. In Dubai, it is possible to obtain a free visa if a certain amount of investment is made. Various visas can be obtained.

    • Retirement Visa
      If you want to enter Dubai with a Retirement Visa, you have to be 55 years or older. On the other hand, an investment of at least AED 1 million in one or more existing properties or in a deposit in a local bank is required. The Retirement Visa is valid for 5 years as long as the requirements are met.
    • Investors Visa
      An investor visa is also a great way to build a life in Dubai. This involves investing money of at least AED 750000 in one or more existing properties and then staying in Dubai for 2 years as long as you keep the property.
    • Golden Visa
      If you invest at least AED 2 million in one or more existing properties, you can get a visa for 10 years. All that is required is that the purchased property remains in one's own possession.

    Pleasant temperatures all year round

    No sooner do the cold months begin in Europe than the days become shorter and darker. It is not uncommon for rain and snow fronts to move across these latitudes and cause unpleasant weather. If you move into your flat in Dubai, you can escape these problems. The warm and sunny weather definitely speaks for itself.

  5. Booming economy

    With 12.8 trillion USD, the GDP in Dubai is particularly high and shows a positive development of the economy. You can join this development when buying a property in Dubai and benefit from the advantages of a flourishing economic situation. The emirate continues to expand and, for example, its Master Plan for 2040 ensures that the city is always developing strategically. This makes a property in Dubai a sensible long-term investment.
