This new change is set to relieve investors from the previous financial burden of paying the large sum as a down payment, making the visa more attainable.<\/p>\n<p>This would also mean that residents who are willing to invest in off-plan units can be eligible for the golden visa, even with a down payment as low as Dhs50,000.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CstQ35Lu8If\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Over the last few years there have been substantial changes made in order to open up the criteria for those who were non-residents as well.<\/p>\n<p>By removing the mandatory clause of the Dhs1 million down payment, more individuals can now enjoy the benefits of establishing themselves in the region long-term, while the country also experiences a boost in economic and business growth. The objective of lowering the eligibility criteria is to attract more foreign investment and promote the stunning real estate opportunities Dubai has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, officials have made new initials and plans to help boost the <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/dubai-wedding-budget-emiratis\/\">economic conditions of the country as well as its citizens<\/a>, while also giving its residents a multitude of perks to relish.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/uae-ministry-of-finance-income-tax\/\">There Are No Plans For Income Tax In The UAE, Officials Confirm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42678,"featured_media":47193,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,35],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Criteria For Earning Dubai&#039;s Golden Visa Has Been Moderated<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Wondering what the new eligibility criteria is for the Golden Visa?
