Dubai Treats Investors as Citizens

Dubai, which continues to attract foreign investor interest, recorded strong growth in the real estate market in the first half of the year. Teuta Nazaran, Founding Partner of Vesta Global, stated that the total sales volume reached AED 326.6 billion in the first six months of 2025, adding, "While residential prices increased by 14%, rental yields exceeded 8%. Combined with Dubai's tax advantages, financial transparency, and high liquidity, the city has now become not just an investment destination but a long-term living center," she said. With the adoption of a new regulation offering Golden Visa holders consular services at the citizen level, the city's investment potential is expected to increase further.

As the search for diversity in the global investment environment continues, Dubai's real estate market is once again coming to the fore. Attracting attention with high demand, regular income potential, and long-term residency options, the city is increasingly drawing international interest amid tightening regulations on visas and real estate investments in Europe. The United Arab Emirates' stable legal framework, tax-free income model, and long-term residency opportunities offered through the Golden Visa program have made Dubai an attractive hub for global capital. In this process, a new regulation granting Golden Visa holders consular services at the citizen level was also adopted, expanding the scope of rights and guarantees for applicants.

Assessing market dynamics in Dubai, Teuta Nazaran, Founding Partner of Vesta Global, said, "Dubai maintains its appeal to investors by combining long-term residency rights with financial advantages. Reaching a total sales volume of AED 326.6 billion in the first half of 2025 demonstrates the city's strong demand. During the same period, residential prices rose by 14%, while rental yields exceeded 8%. This picture shows a market structure that provides investors with both regular income and value appreciation. Dubai's tax advantages, combined with its financial transparency and high liquidity, have transformed the city into not just an investment destination but a long-term living hub. New regulations are further strengthening this environment of trust," he said.
