Each investment avenue has its own advantages. Real estate typically offers 5-8% rental yields with potential capital appreciation. Business setup can provide higher returns but requires more active management. The stock market offers liquidity and dividend yields ranging from 3-7% for blue-chip companies.
For real estate, entry-level investments start around AED 500,000 (USD 136,000). Business setup costs vary by type but typically range from AED 15,000-50,000 (USD 4,000-13,600) plus office space. Stock market investments can start with as little as AED 5,000 (USD 1,360) through a brokerage account.
You can qualify through multiple routes: purchasing property worth at least AED 2 million (USD 545,000), starting a company in Dubai with a capital of AED 2 million or more, or investing AED 2 million in an investment fund. Our guide provides detailed information about each pathway.
Popular free zones include Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Dubai Media City, and Dubai Internet City. The best choice depends on your industry, budget, and specific business needs. Our guide covers the advantages of each free zone.
Dubai has no personal income tax, capital gains tax, or withholding tax. There is a 9% corporate tax for businesses with profits over AED 375,000 (USD 102,000), but free zone companies can receive tax exemptions. Real estate transactions involve a 4% transfer fee, typically split between buyer and seller.
