Turnkey property investment in Dubai, from selection to first rent
Buying in Dubai from abroad is more than choosing an apartment. You need to pay from your country, sign remotely, follow construction, take handover, furnish, let, and sometimes apply for a visa or set up a company. Here is each step, what Cevitas does and what we prepare with you.

The steps of a turnkey investment
- Brief: budget, goal (yield, residence, Golden Visa), timing, tax constraints in your country.
- Selection: three to five argued projects, with official price lists, payment plans and comparable DLD transactions.
- Remote purchase: video viewing, reservation, sale and purchase agreement reviewed with you, payments to the project escrow account.
- Construction follow-up: official project progress at the DLD, photos, payment reminders.
- Handover: inspection, snags reported to the developer, utilities, title deed.
- Making it pay: furnishing, long-term or Holiday Home letting, see our property management guide.
Paying and signing from abroad
- Payments: international transfers to the project escrow account or the developer's official account, never to a personal account.
- Signature: electronic for the reservation and contract on most projects, notarised power of attorney if a step requires you in person.
- From Morocco: transfers abroad follow the Office des Changes rules; prepare this with an adviser before reserving.
Golden Visa and residence
Property worth at least AED 2 million can qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa, under the conditions published by the UAE authorities (official u.ae portal and ICP). Several properties can be combined and some off-plan units qualify. We check your purchase's eligibility before the reservation. Details in our Golden Visa guide.
Bank account, company and relocation
- Bank account: useful to receive rent and pay charges; conditions vary by bank and by residency status.
- Company: a free zone or mainland company can be set up if you invest through a structure or relocate; the choice depends on your activity.
- Relocation: residence visa, Emirates ID, schools, interim housing.
For these steps we can, on request, introduce licensed professionals; you receive their terms directly before committing. We do not give tax advice: have the structure checked by an adviser in your country.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy in Dubai without travelling?
Yes. Viewings can be done by video, the reservation and contract are usually signed electronically, and payments are made by transfer to the project escrow account. A notarised power of attorney covers any step that requires you in person.
How much does Cevitas charge?
On off-plan purchases Cevitas is paid by the developer: you pay no commission. Partner services (furnishing, company setup, property management) are quoted by them before any commitment.
Is the Golden Visa automatic?
No. It depends on the property value (at least AED 2 million), its status and the conditions published by the UAE authorities. We check eligibility before the reservation.
Who manages the property after handover?
You choose: long-term letting with an Ejari lease or short-term with a Holiday Home permit. We help you prepare the letting and, on request, introduce a licensed property manager.
