Dubai has long attracted international investors—and in 2025, the city remains one of the most investor-friendly markets globally. If you're a non-resident considering property in Dubai, here's what you need to know before making a move.

Yes, Foreigners Can Buy Property in Dubai

Dubai allows foreign investors to buy freehold properties in designated areas like Downtown, Dubai Marina, Business Bay, and JVC. You fully own the property and can rent, sell, or live in it.

No Income or Capital Gains Tax

Dubai continues to offer tax-free rental income and no capital gains tax on property sales. This makes it a strong choice for investors looking for high ROI and income retention.

Off-Plan vs Ready Properties

Off-plan properties come with flexible payment plans and the potential for appreciation before handover. Ready properties offer immediate rental income. The best option depends on your investment horizon and cash flow.

No Need for Residency

You don’t need a UAE residence visa to buy property, but properties above AED 750,000 can make you eligible for a renewable investor visa. We can help clarify your options.

Work With a Trusted Agency

A good agency makes the process simpler, safer, and clearer. At The Home Movement Company, we guide international investors through every step—from finding the right property to final registration with the Dubai Land Department.

And with 10% of our profits donated to building homes in places like Syria, Gaza, and underserved African regions, your investment also helps others in need.
