Dubai has updated the rules for its two-year property-linked visa, removing the minimum property value requirement for sole owners. Previously, individual investors needed to own a property worth at least Dh750,000. Under the new rules, sole owners of any property can now qualify for the visa. For jointly-owned properties, each investor must hold a share worth at least Dh400,000 to be eligible. The change, processed through the Dubai Land Department's Taskeen programme, has already driven increased enquiries for affordable properties, particularly studios and one-bedroom apartments in communities like Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai South, Arjan, and International City. Real estate leaders say the removal of the threshold widens access to Dubai's property market and helps absorb the expected supply of over 50,000 units reaching handover in 2026.
