Why DubaiWhy Indian Investors Choose Dubai
Can you buy property in Dubai as an Indian? Yes — Dubai is one of the most accessible international property markets for Indian nationals, and here’s why it stands out:
- High Returns: Earn 7-12% yearly from rentals, much higher than Mumbai (4.15%) or New York (2.8%)
- No Taxes: Enjoy no income or capital gains tax, unlike India’s 20% tax on property gains
- Golden Visa: Invest AED 2 million (about ₹5 crore) for a 5-10 year residency visa for you and your family
- Affordable Prices: The Indian rupee goes further in Dubai compared to major Indian cities
- Strong Economy: Dubai’s economy, driven by tourism and trade, ensures steady growth
Step-by-Step GuideHow to Buy Property in Dubai From India
Eight steps from eligibility to title deed — here’s exactly how the process works.
1Understand Your Eligibility
Indian nationals can buy freehold properties in areas like Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, or Jumeirah Village Circle without a UAE visa — just a valid Indian passport and compliance with FEMA’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (up to $250,000/year).
2Research the Market
Choose Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, or Emirates Hills for luxury homes; Jumeirah Village Circle or Dubai Sports City for budget-friendly options.
3Plan Your Budget
Average homes cost around $760,000 (₹6.4 crore). Budget for a 4% Dubai Land Department (DLD) fee, 2-5% agent fees, and maintenance charges, alongside financing of 50-75% of the property value.
4Work with Asraa Realty
Our RERA-licensed team offers listings from developers like Emaar, Damac, and Sobha, and handles remote purchases using digital signatures or Power of Attorney (POA).
5Pick Your Property
Go off-plan for flexible payment plans and long-term upside, or ready homes for immediate use or rental income — with virtual tours or in-person visits available.
6Reserve Your Property
Sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the seller, pay a 10% deposit, and get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer — arranged by Asraa Realty.
7Arrange Financing
UAE banks like Emirates NBD or Mashreq offer mortgages to non-residents. You’ll need income proof and a down payment of 20-50% — Asraa Realty connects you with favourable terms.
8Complete the Purchase
Finalize the transfer at the Dubai Land Department or developer’s office, pay the remaining amount and DLD fee, and receive your title deed — making you the official owner.
