Can I buy property in Jaipur without visiting India?

Yes — most NRI buyers complete the purchase through a Power of Attorney (POA) given to a trusted person in India, combined with video calls for site visits and document review. We coordinate this process directly with you.

Can NRIs repatriate money from selling property in India?

Yes, subject to RBI rules and limits under FEMA — broadly, sale proceeds for up to two residential properties can be repatriated, with applicable TDS deducted at sale. Rules and limits can change, so always confirm current limits with your bank/CA before relying on a specific figure.

What property can NRIs buy in India?

NRIs can buy residential and commercial property freely, but generally cannot buy agricultural land, plantation property or farmhouses directly (inheritance is a separate case). See our full NRI Buying Guide for details.

Do you show prices in currencies other than INR?

Yes — use our free Currency Converter tool to check any property price in USD, AED, GBP and other currencies, using a live daily exchange rate. This is indicative only; final pricing and payment are always in Indian Rupees.

Why Dubai

Four reasons investors look at Dubai

The basics that matter before you compare projects.

Freehold for foreigners

In designated freehold areas, foreign buyers can own property outright and receive a title deed from the Dubai Land Department.

No annual property tax

There is no recurring property tax on residential property in Dubai. A one-time registration fee applies when you buy.

Golden Visa route

Property valued at AED 2 million or more can qualify the owner and family for a renewable 10-year residence visa.

Dollar-linked currency

The UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar, which many investors prefer for long-term holdings and rents.

Know the costs

What buying in Dubai really costs

Plan for roughly 6–8% on top of the price. These are the main items.

Item	Who it goes to	Typical amount
Transfer / registration fee	Dubai Land Department	4% of price
Registration trustee fee	Trustee office	about AED 4,000–4,200
Agency fee (where an agent is used)	Agency	commonly 2% + VAT
Mortgage registration (if financed)	Dubai Land Department	0.25% of the loan
Annual service charge	Building / community	varies by project

Indicative figures from public sources, checked October 2026. Fees and rules change, so confirm with the Dubai Land Department before you transact.

FAQs

Questions we hear most

Can an Indian citizen buy property in Dubai?

Yes. Foreign nationals can buy freehold property in Dubai's designated freehold areas, and a residence visa is not needed to purchase. Indian residents sending money abroad must follow RBI and FEMA rules, so confirm the route with your bank or CA before you commit.

Which property qualifies for the Golden Visa?

Property valued at AED 2 million or more by the Dubai Land Department qualifies its owner for the 10-year Golden Visa. Mortgaged and off-plan units can count under current rules, but eligibility is decided by the authorities, so verify the latest criteria before relying on it.

What does it cost to buy, beyond the price?

Budget roughly 6–8% on top of the price: a 4% Dubai Land Department fee, trustee and admin charges, and an agency fee if one is used. Our cost table above shows the main items.

Is off-plan safe?

It can be, if you check the developer, the project's registration and that your payments go into the project's escrow account. Never pay a deposit to a personal account. Our checklist covers the rest.

Do I need to travel to Dubai?

Not necessarily. Many overseas buyers complete the process remotely through a power of attorney and digital signing, but visiting the project and the neighbourhood first is the best way to judge it.

Will I owe tax in India on a Dubai property?

Foreign assets and income generally need to be disclosed in your Indian tax return. Rules depend on your residential status, so speak to a chartered accountant before you buy.
