UK investors who own freehold property in Dubai are eligible for a number of residency visas. The most common option is the real estate investor visa. This visa allows you to live and work in Dubai for as long as you own the property.

- You must own a freehold property in Dubai worth at least AED 1 million (approximately £230,000).
- The property must be registered in your name.
- You must have a valid passport.
- You must have a clean criminal record.
Once you have met the eligibility criteria, you can apply for a real estate investor visa online or through the Dubai General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).
Other residency options available to UK investors who own freehold property in Dubai include:
- Retirement visa: This visa is available to people aged 55 or over who have a monthly income of at least AED 20,000 (approximately £4,500).
