Understanding the REIT & Property Fund Golden Visa
Introduced under Cabinet Resolution No. 65 of 2022, investors can secure 10-year residency by investing in licensed Real Estate Investment Funds (REITs) or corporate property vehicles recognized by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) and Dubai Land Department (DLD).
Compared to single-property ownership under our Real Estate Golden Visa Guide or Commercial Real Estate Guide, REIT investors enjoy diversified property portfolio exposure.
