Regulatory authorities across Dubai and UAE immigration channels have implemented adjustments to residency and entry rules, according to Time Out Dubai.
The Dubai Land Department removed the previous Dh750,000 property value minimum for sole owners applying for the two-year property owner residence visa. Under the revised framework, an eligibility minimum of Dh400,000 per investor has been established for jointly owned properties.
In addition, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) reduced tourist visa processing times to within 48 working hours. Travellers holding residency permits from the United States, the United Kingdom, or the European Union are eligible for simplified visas on arrival valid for up to 60 days.
