Living There

Fees for residents' visa renewal: $1,360 every three years per person. That renewal allows the holder to work. There is a 5% residential tax assessed on rental value.

In general, the government issues residence visas to freehold owners and to their immediate family such as spouse and children under 18. Visas acquired through property purchases are subject to the normal rules and regulations of the Dubai Immigration Department and are renewable every three years. They can be cancelled under the UAE laws if you commit a crime for which the normal punishment is deportation.

There is no income tax in Dubai.
