Al- Zarooni, who is the Chairman of “W Capital”, the real estate brokerage, stressed the fact that the legislative regulatory moves of the Emirate of Dubai support the real estate sector and revive the expected demand, as well as the great momentum experienced by the market since the beginning of 2021.
Recently, the Dubai Land Department reduced the value of the property needed for the investor to obtain a 3-year renewable residence permit, from one million dirhams to at least 750,000 dirhams, with the possibility of sponsoring the husband or wife and children.
The department stated that the “Tasken” program allows a real estate investor who owns a property the value of which is equal to, or greater than 750,000 dirhams at the time of purchase, to apply for a three-year residence visa.
The benefits of the decision, according to Al-Zarooni, include:

And the real estate market in Dubai is still robust thanks to a number of factors that make the investment climate in the emirate attractive in the long term.

3-Introducing new projects
The move helps launching new projects by real estate developers targeted by this decision. The developer will focus on launching economy projects with the same decision budget, starting from 750,000 to 1.5 million dirhams.

So the banking sector will be active and busy financing the new projects.

6- Supporting and enabling the investment environment
The decision is of great importance, as it came within the great efforts made by the Dubai government to support and enable the local investment environment as a major contributor to the national economy. That will be a major attraction for capital, added to the basket of incentives and precautionary measures that were announced during the spread of the “Covid-19” virus, which contributed in restoring rate of growth and activity to its pre-pandemic levels in various sectors.
7-Increase the population
The decision will motivate a large number of people wishing to live in the emirate, especially families, to realize their dreams of working and living in Dubai.
