Real estate investment and rental referrals

1. Dubai as an investment destination

Real estate properties in Dubai have high yields and capital gains are tax-free. Efficient real estate investment is possible.
Due to the large number of foreign investors, the legal system is better developed than in other emerging markets (emerging markets).

Future growth potential should also be noted.
Dubai’s population was around 280,000 in 1980, 700,000 in 1995, 1.2 million in 2007, and will exceed 3.3 million by 2019.
In line with the population growth, the number of skyscrapers, luxury hotels, and vacation homes, as well as commercial facilities such as shopping malls and theme parks, are increasing.
The population is expected to continue to grow as companies from all over the world plan to move into the area. The investment value is high.

2. Advantages of owning real estate in Dubai

The first is a tax system favorable to real estate investors.
Owning real estate in Japan is subject to substantial taxes, but in Dubai, property tax is exempted. There is also no gift tax or inheritance tax.
The tax system that favors real estate investors has attracted the attention of wealthy people around the world.

Second, a long-term residence visa is available.
By investing in residential real estate and meeting certain conditions, you can obtain a long-term residence visa. Spouses and dependents can also apply for this visa, making it possible for a family to move to Dubai.

About Visas

For entrepreneurs and investors considering incorporation, there are two types of long-term visas for the UAE as follows (as of February 2022)

1. Investor visa (5 or 10 years)

Investors in the UAE with assets of 5 million dirhams (approximately 153 million yen; 1 dirham = approximately 30.6 yen) or more will be issued a 5-year residence visa.
Investors who have invested more than 10 million dirhams through the establishment of a company, business partnerships, etc., or have invested more than 10 million dirhams in various fields, but less than 40% of that in real estate, will be issued a 10-year residence visa.
In both cases, the assets must be assets owned by the investor, not borrowed, and there must be documentation to prove this, and the assets must have been held for at least three years.

2. Entrepreneur visa (5 years)

Entrepreneurs who have a project in the UAE with a value of at least 500,000 dirhams or approved by a licensed incubator in the UAE will be issued a 5-year residence visa. They may also be upgraded to an investor visa if they meet the requirements. This visa applies not only to the entrepreneur himself/herself, but also to his/her partner and up to three board members, their spouses and children.

It is said that it takes about one month to issue the visa. We often hear that it took longer than expected due to the time and effort required to submit the necessary documents.
We can take care of all the troublesome procedures related to visa applications on your behalf.
