Frequently Asked Questions (Pakistan Investors)

Official answers verified with UAE statutory law and bilateral agreements

Can a Pakistani citizen legally purchase 100% freehold property in Dubai?

Yes. Under UAE Federal Law No. 7 of 2006 (Article 4), foreign nationals of any nationality, including Pakistani citizens residing in Pakistan or overseas, have the legal right to purchase 100% freehold real estate in designated freehold areas in Dubai without requiring a local partner, sponsor, or UAE residency.

Reference: UAE Federal Law No. 7 of 2006 regarding Real Property Registration in the Emirate of Dubai, Article 4.

Is rental income from Dubai property taxable in Pakistan?

Under Article 6 of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between Pakistan and the UAE, income derived from immovable property is taxable in the contracting state where the property is situated (Dubai). Since the UAE levies 0% personal income tax and 0% capital gains tax, your rental income remains tax-free in Dubai. Pakistani tax residents should declare this foreign asset in their annual FBR wealth statement.

Reference: Convention between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the UAE for the Avoidance of Double Taxation, Article 6.

How do Pakistani citizens qualify for the 10-year Dubai Golden Visa?

Under UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 65 of 2022, an individual who acquires one or more properties with a total purchase value of AED 2,000,000 (approx. PKR 15.16 Crore) qualifies for a 10-year renewable Golden Visa. Off-plan properties qualify as long as the developer is registered with DLD and provides an official initial title (Oqood).

Reference: UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 65 of 2022 promulgating the Executive Regulations of the Federal Decree-Law on Entry and Residence of Foreigners.
