BREAKING: Dubai just made it easier to get the Golden Visa through real estate — including off-plan.
Here’s how foreign investors can qualify in 2025 — and what to watch out for.
On The Dubai Connect™ Podcast, Certified International Property Specialist Ghada “GG” Benitez is joined by financial concierge Zeba Majithia to explain the latest update to Dubai’s Golden Visa program — specifically how off-plan property buyers can now apply even before handover if they hold the Oqood.
This is a major shift, opening up second residency in Dubai to a much wider group of international investors, including U.S., Canadian, and U.K. citizens seeking a tax-efficient lifestyle.
