Dubai offers Indian investors some of the best opportunities to earn strong returns from real estate.
New Delhi, 31 August 2022: Dubai is seeing unprecedented demand for residential property from Indian investors. Demand from Indian homebuyers is high because Dubai is one of the few global safe havens and offers property at comparatively lower prices, while improved regulations for foreign investors and new residency schemes have added to its appeal.
Why Indian Investors Choose Dubai
Beyond its proximity to India, Dubai's relatively low property prices make it an attractive investment for Indian buyers. Combined with favourable government policies and the UAE's new liberalised visa rules and residence scheme, this has made Dubai the first choice for wealthy HNI real estate investors.
Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman, Danube Group, said: "For the Indian investors, Dubai has always been a destination to reap rich rewards. Currently, as the supply is highly regulated, the fast increasing demand will keep the prices of the property on high growth trajectory. Already the property prices in Dubai have started sharply moving north due to fast increasing demand for the properties post-pandemic. The liberalised visa rules and the promise of unmatched global lifestyle, further present a highly promising opportunity for Indian investors, making it a preferred choice for them."
New Visa and Residency Options
The new system for residence visas and entry permits provides tailored benefits for every category, including a 10-year Golden Visa for investors and skilled employees. Jobseekers benefit most from the five-year multi-entry tourist visa, which allows holders to enter the country several times a year, or to stay for 90 days continuously and then extend for another 90 days.
Green Visa holders, including skilled self-employed people and freelancers, now receive five-year residency instead of two. These 5- and 10-year visas give Indian investors, professionals and specialists in medical, research and technical fields a good opportunity to invest in the city's luxury properties.
High Yields in a Regulated Market
Compared with Shanghai, Singapore, London or Mumbai, Dubai offers high rental yields of 6–10%. The market is also highly regulated: developers are accountable to the strict Real Estate Regulatory Agency, so investors are protected in a far more transparent, compliance-focused market.
