Dubai Grants Golden Visa Holders Citizenship-Level Rights - EMLAK PROJECT
Dubai has granted Golden Visa holders citizenship-level rights. Teuta Nazaran, co-founder of Vesta Global, said, “Housing prices have increased by 14%, rental yields have exceeded 8%. Dubai is now not just an investment destination, but a place to live.”
Vesta Global Founding Partner Teuta Nazaran: “Dubai is no longer just an investment destination, but a long-term living center.”
Dubai, which continues to attract foreign investor interest unabated, showed strong growth in the real estate market in the first half of 2025. The city broke records by reaching a sales volume of AED 326.6 billion in the first six months of the year.
Vesta Global Co-Founder Teuta Nazaran said, “While residential prices rose by 14%, rental yields exceeded 8%. Combined with Dubai's tax advantages, financial transparency, and high liquidity, the city is now not just an investment destination but a long-term living center.”
With the newly adopted regulation, Golden Visa holders will receive consular services at the citizen level. This means investors will be able to enjoy many rights on an equal footing with citizens, from passport renewal to emergency support.
Tax-Free Income and Long-Term Residency Advantage for Investors
Dubai, which is redefining the direction of global capital flows, stands out with its tax-free income model, high rental yields, and transparent property system.
The Golden Visa program grants investors a 10-year renewable residency right and offers a residence and work permit without requiring a sponsor.
Nazaran highlighted the system's accessible structure, stating:
“The basic investment threshold for real estate is AED 2 million. However, there is also an investor visa option starting from AED 750,000. This gives investors the opportunity to join the system with more affordable budgets. At Vesta Global, we manage the entire process end-to-end, from application to property selection, financial consulting to residency planning.”
