Can foreigners own property in Dubai Creek Harbour?
Yes, Dubai Creek Harbour is a freehold area where foreign nationals can own property with 100% ownership rights. Foreign investors have the same ownership rights as UAE nationals in freehold areas.
There are no restrictions on nationality, and property ownership does not automatically grant residency. However, property owners can apply for a residence visa based on their investment value:
- Properties worth AED 750,000+ qualify for a 2-year visa
- Properties worth AED 2 million+ qualify for a 5-year visa
- AED 5 million+ properties can qualify for a 10-year Golden Visa
Property can be freely bought, sold, rented, or inherited by foreign owners.
