The UAE has seen a 35% year-on-year increase in property-related Golden Visa applications during 2025, driven by high-net-worth individuals purchasing AED 2 million+ properties.

Luxury developments by Nakheel, Meraas, and Damac are seeing strong interest from foreign buyers seeking long-term residency benefits and tax advantages alongside capital growth.

This trend further supports Dubai’s status as a global hub for wealth migration, with property transactions linked to Golden Visa applications expected to grow through 2026.
