In recent years, the UAE has emerged as a leader among Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) by investing heavily in attracting foreign investors and talented and skilled individuals interested in relocating to the Middle East and obtaining a Dubai investment visa.
One of the major changes occurred in 2021, when the UAE government enabled the citizenship by investment scheme, allowing foreigners to apply for UAE passports without having to meet some of the most stringent requirements imposed at the global level. Given that the majority of foreign citizens choose to live in Dubai, we will present the main requirements of this new programme from that perspective.
This article discusses the main requirements for obtaining Dubai citizenship through investment. Dhanguard in Dubai can assist you in preparing for immigration to the UAE under this programme as well as obtaining UAE citizenship through investment.
In comparison to other countries, the UAE does not require foreign citizens interested in obtaining citizenship by investment in Dubai to file any application, as the Executive Councils, Rulers, and Crown Prince’s Courts will select the applicants.
The following are the main categories of foreign citizens who want to apply for UAE citizenship through investment:
Because these people can immigrate to Dubai with their families, the programme is open to the main nominee and his or her close family.
For those who are interested, there is also the option of obtaining a Dubai investment visa by establishing a company in Dubai. Our Dubai law firm can walk you through the entire process of relocating here through this programme.
Certain categories of foreigners who already live in the UAE can apply for a Dubai investment visa under recently amended legislation. They are as follows:

Dubai has always been open to foreign investors interested in establishing their own businesses in the UAE; however, with the new immigration rules, things have gotten even better, as instead of the previous 49 percent share of foreign ownership, overseas entrepreneurs can now fully own a Dubai-based company.
Many entrepreneurs recall that this option was only available in Dubai free zones until recently.
Foreigners who own property and want to start their own businesses in Dubai can now apply for citizenship by investment through Dubai-based companies and obtain a Dubai investment visa.
This is an excellent option for entrepreneurs looking to make a good profit in one of the most important business centers in the Middle East. If you want to register a company in Dubai and obtain UAE citizenship through investment, you can rely on Dhanguard in Dubai.
