Dubai-based online property technology platform Stake is offering Golden Visas to investors who purchase properties through their platform, with a minimum investment threshold of Dh2 million. This is the first time that investors can obtain a Golden Visa through a digital investment platform in Dubai. The company is offering the Golden Visa through special purpose vehicles (SPVs) registered with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), with no restriction as to where investors must reside to qualify.
Property investors and end-users can also obtain Golden Visas by investing Dh2 million in a property. The Golden Visa has been a major attraction for foreign investors seeking long-term residency in the UAE. The online property technology platform allows investors to spread their capital across multiple properties located in prime areas in Dubai, to achieve a diversified real estate portfolio, eliminating the need to purchase off-plan property.
The Golden Visa has been a highly sought-after residency permit in the UAE, especially among foreign investors from the Middle East and North Africa, Europe, India, and Russia, among others. With the minimum investment threshold of Dh2 million, investors can now gain residency permits for ten years, providing a range of benefits such as visa-free travel to multiple countries, access to top-notch healthcare, education, and business opportunities.
By offering the Golden Visa through its online platform, Stake is making property investment in Dubai more accessible and affordable to a wider range of investors, especially those who may not have the capital to invest in a single property. Moreover, by facilitating investments in ready-to-occupy properties, Stake is eliminating the risk associated with off-plan projects, which typically require large amounts of upfront capital and come with a high level of uncertainty.
Stake’s unique approach to offering Golden Visas to property investors is expected to attract a new wave of foreign investors to Dubai’s fast-growing real estate market. As the city continues to develop rapidly, demand for quality housing, commercial properties, and hospitality projects is on the rise, making it an attractive destination for global investors seeking long-term returns on their investment. With Stake’s digital investment platform, investors can now capitalise on Dubai’s unmatched real estate potential and achieve a diversified real estate portfolio with ease.
Dubai has been attracting foreign investment for years, with its attractive investment climate, tax-free regime, and a wide range of business opportunities. The introduction of the Golden Visa has further solidified the city’s position as an investment hub, making it a sought-after destination for investors looking for long-term residency in the UAE.
The Golden Visa program is also in line with the government’s efforts to attract foreign investment, boost the economy, and diversify away from oil dependence. It is expected to attract more investors to the real estate sector and spur growth in the industry.
In addition to property investors, the Golden Visa program targets scientists, highly skilled professionals, and talented students, among others. The program has received a positive response from foreign investors, particularly those from the Middle East and North Africa (Mena), the Indian Subcontinent, Europe, and Russia.
The online property technology platform Stake has made it even easier for global investors to obtain a Golden Visa by investing in Dubai’s fast-growing property market. By eliminating the need to purchase off-plan property and offering ready-to-occupy properties instead, investors can generate rental income faster and ensure a more stable revenue stream compared to off-plan investments.
With a minimum investment threshold of Dh2 million, investors can spread their capital across multiple properties located in prime areas in Dubai to achieve a diversified real estate portfolio. This approach also allows investors to enter the market with a smaller initial investment, making it more accessible to a wider range of investors.
The availability of Golden Visas through online property investment platforms is a game-changer for the real estate sector in Dubai, and it is expected to boost foreign investment in the sector. As Dubai continues to innovate and offer new opportunities for investors, it is likely that more investment platforms will follow in Stake’s footsteps to offer Golden Visas and other incentives to investors.
