Dubai Golden Visa and legal ownership for US citizens.
Own Dubai property and unlock a 10-year Golden Visa.
Dubai offers one of the most attractive real estate investment environments in the world, especially for American buyers. With 100% foreign ownership rights in designated Freehold areas and a clear path to long-term residency through the Dubai Golden Visa program, investing in off-plan property in Dubai isn’t just smart—it’s secure, rewarding, and future-focused.
As an American investor, you can legally own property outright in Dubai’s Freehold zones. These include some of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods, such as Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, JVC, Dubai Hills, and Dubai Marina. Ownership is registered with the Dubai Land Department, and your name is placed directly on the title deed, so you don’t need a local sponsor. That means full control over your asset: you can live in it, rent it out, or resell it whenever you choose.
Beyond ownership rights, Dubai offers a powerful residency incentive through its Golden Visa program. If you invest in real estate worth AED 2 million or more (approximately $545,000 USD), you become eligible for a 10-year renewable residency visa. This visa allows you and your immediate family to live, work, and study in the UAE without needing local sponsorship. For remote workers, entrepreneurs, retirees, and investors looking for a global base, this benefit is a game-changer.
The process is surprisingly simple. Once you’ve secured your off-plan property and completed the required investment threshold, your Golden Visa application can be processed with our legal team’s assistance. We’ll help you gather documents, translate any necessary records, and coordinate directly with Dubai’s General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).
What makes this opportunity even more compelling for Americans? Dubai has no annual property tax, no income tax, and no capital gains tax. Your returns are yours to keep. And unlike many countries, the UAE does not restrict foreign ownership or impose burdensome inheritance rules.
At DRUS, we make the legal side easy. From ensuring your property meets visa criteria to handling the paperwork and submission, we guide you throughout the process. Whether you’re investing for lifestyle, residency, or generational wealth, Dubai offers unmatched advantages, and DRUS ensures you get them all.
Dubai off-plan project FAQs
Find answers to the most frequently asekd questions.
Can Americans legally own property in Dubai?
Yes, Americans can own property in Dubai’s Freehold areas with 100% ownership rights. You don’t need a local sponsor, and your name goes directly on the title deed. You can buy, sell, rent, or live in the property as you wish, just like any local or resident investor.
What are Freehold areas in Dubai?
Freehold areas are zones designated by the Dubai government where foreigners, including Americans, can buy property with full ownership rights. Popular Freehold areas include Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, and Jumeirah Village Circle.
Do I need to live in Dubai to own property there?
No, you don’t need to live in Dubai to invest in an off-plan property. In fact, many Americans buy off-plan properties remotely. DRUS handles everything for you, from shortlisting and paperwork to payment plans and handover, so you can buy confidently from abroad.
What is the minimum investment to obtain a Dubai Golden Visa?
To qualify for a 10-year Dubai Golden Visa, you need to invest in real estate worth at least AED 2 million (about $545,000 USD). The property must be either completed or nearing completion, and proof of payment must be submitted to be eligible.
Can I get a mortgage as an American buying in Dubai?
Yes, some UAE banks offer mortgages to U.S. citizens, but they often require a minimum down payment of 20–50% and may require you to open a local bank account. DRUS can connect you with English-speaking mortgage advisors who will be more than happy to guide you throughout the process.
Are off-plan properties safe to buy in Dubai?
Yes, off-plan investments in Dubai are highly regulated. Buyer funds are held in government-approved escrow accounts and released to developers in accordance with construction progress. All projects must first be approved by the Dubai Land Department and RERA.
What happens if the developer delays handover?
If there’s a significant delay, you may be entitled to compensation based on contract terms. RERA protects buyers by enforcing penalties on developers for unjustified delays. DRUS also tracks timelines and helps you resolve any issues in a professional manner.
Can I sell my off-plan unit before handover?
Yes, most developers allow “assignment sales” after a certain percentage of the payment plan is completed. You can sell the unit to another buyer before it’s finished, which is a popular strategy among investors looking for early profits.
Is there property tax in Dubai for Americans?
No, Dubai has zero annual property tax, no capital gains tax, and no inheritance tax. As an American, you’re only required to report your overseas investment to the IRS, but your real estate income in Dubai isn’t taxed by the UAE.
Are Dubai off-plan payment plans flexible?
Yes, off-plan properties often come with flexible payment plans of 2–5 years. These can be construction-linked, post-handover, or milestone-based. You can pay in stages, making it easier to invest without needing a full upfront amount.
Do I need a residency visa to buy property in Dubai?
No, you don’t need a residency visa to buy property in Dubai. However, if your investment meets the Golden Visa threshold, you can apply for long-term residency. Many investors own property in Dubai without ever becoming residents.
How do I know which property developers are trustworthy?
We only work with top-tier, RERA-approved developers who have a proven track record of delivering projects on time and meeting high-quality standards. DRUS pre-vets every project to ensure your investment is protected from unreliable or unproven developers.
How long does the off-plan buying process take?
The process is fast and efficient. You can reserve a unit within a few days, with contracts signed electronically. Depending on the developer, handover takes 2–4 years. We keep you updated every step of the way so you’re never in the dark.
