2. Select the property – Ready-to-move-in units or off-plan projects with installment options.
3. Verify ownership and legal status – Check property records via Dubai Land Department (DLD) to ensure no debts or liens exist.
4. Sign the MOU and pay a deposit – Typically 10–20% of the purchase price.
5. Open a UAE bank account – Transfer funds through your local account.
6. Pay fees and charges – Including 4% DLD registration fee, broker commission, and service charges.
7. Finalize and register the deed – Official transfer of ownership at the DLD.
8. Apply for residency (optional) – Properties worth over 750,000 AED qualify for a 2-year visa, while properties worth 2,000,000 AED or more make you eligible for a 10-year Golden Visa.
