Make Dubai your base — property, residency and zero income tax.
We provide advice on property, the Golden Visa scheme, company formation and banking. PMG will coordinate every step of your move to Dubai, from the moment you first make contact with us until you are settled in.
We work by selection, not by volume. PMG acts for a deliberately limited number of individuals and families establishing themselves in Dubai — clients for whom discretion, judgement and continuity matter more than scale.

Property in Dubai — growth, yield and a home
One of the world's strongest property markets, with no annual property tax and attractive yields. We guide the purchase end to end — and the right property can also unlock your Golden Visa.
Record highs, now stabilising
Dubai's property market set successive records through 2024 and 2025. According to the Dubai Land Department, residential prices rose 9.8% in 2025, led by villas, on the back of record transaction volumes.
Into 2026 the market has entered a phase of stabilisation — analysts expect more moderate growth of roughly 5–8%, increasingly differentiated by location and property type, as new supply is absorbed. The fundamentals — end-user demand and strong international inflows — remain firmly in place.
Capital growth
Among the strongest-performing global markets through the recent cycle.
Rental yields
Gross yields around 7% for apartments — high by global-city standards.
No property tax
No annual property tax and no capital gains tax on disposal.
How a purchase works
Reserve
Select the property and sign a reservation, typically with ~10% down.
Agree terms
MOU and Sales & Purchase Agreement; NOC where mortgaged.
Transfer
At a DLD trustee office, or via Oqood for off-plan.
Title
Pay the balance and the 4% transfer fee; title deed issued.
Budget roughly 7–10% of the price for total acquisition costs (transfer fee, registration, agency and admin). Off-plan purchases are protected by mandatory escrow, with funds released against verified construction milestones.
Established prestige, or emerging growth
Established prime
Downtown, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and Business Bay — prestige, lifestyle and strong capital preservation, at the highest price points.
Emerging & high-yield
Dubai South, Dubai Hills Estate and Dubai Creek Harbour led price growth in 2025; affordable communities deliver the highest gross yields.
Secure title for foreign buyers
Since 2002, foreign nationals have been able to own property outright in Dubai's designated freehold areas — which include almost all of the most sought-after communities. Each purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department, and the buyer receives a state-issued Title Deed.
Freehold
Full, perpetual ownership of both the property and the land it stands on.
Leasehold
Long-term rights for a fixed term of up to 99 years, in certain projects.
The Dubai Golden Visa
A renewable 10-year UAE residence visa through property investment — with no minimum-stay requirement, and the freedom to sponsor your family.
Residency through property
A property investment of at least AED 2,000,000 qualifies for the 10-year Golden Visa. The threshold can be met through a single property or several combined, whether let or owner-occupied, and eligibility is assessed on the value recorded on the title deed.
A 2026 reform made the off-plan route more accessible by removing the previous upfront-payment requirement. Mortgage financing is permitted, subject to meeting the qualifying paid-value conditions.
10 years, renewable
Live, work and study in the UAE without a local sponsor.
No minimum stay
Remains valid even during extended periods spent abroad.
Family included
Sponsor your spouse and children for the same 10-year term.
Emirates ID
Open bank accounts, obtain a UAE driving licence and access services.
Single or combined
One property or a portfolio totalling AED 2M qualifies.
Off-plan eligible
Off-plan from approved developers now qualifies more readily.
Two-year investor visa
As of 2026, sole owners of any completed property with a title deed can qualify for a two-year residence visa — an accessible entry point below the Golden Visa threshold.
Company & talent routes
Residence is also available through company ownership, employment, or the Golden Visa's professional and talent categories. We advise on the best fit.
Companies, banking & a favourable tax base
Establish a Dubai company with 100% ownership, open banking, and base yourself where there is no personal income tax. We advise on business formation, compliance and introductions end to end.
Your Dubai company, set up properly
Dubai offers two principal routes — freezone and mainland — each with full foreign ownership. We advise on the right structure for your activity, then handle licensing, visas and the bank account in one coordinated process.
From licence to operating
Structure
Freezone vs mainland, activity and ownership — chosen correctly.
Licence
Trade licence and registration consultancy.
Visas
Investor and employee residence visas issue advice & support.
Bank
Corporate account opened and operating guidance.
Why a freezone
Dubai's freezones offer 100% foreign ownership, streamlined set-up, and sector-focused ecosystems. We match you to the right freezone for your business and budget.
Full ownership
100% foreign ownership, with no local partner required.
Fast set-up
Efficient licensing and a clear, repeatable process.
Residence visas
Eligibility to sponsor investor and employee visas.
A favourable base — structured correctly
The UAE levies no personal income tax, no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax. A federal corporate tax of 9% applies to business profits above AED 375,000. How this affects you depends on your overall residency, which we help you plan.
0% personal tax
No UAE income, capital gains or inheritance tax on individuals.
9% corporate tax
On business profits above AED 375,000; small-business relief may apply.
Local & Swiss banking
Account opening locally, and — once your Dubai residence is in place — access to local and Swiss private banking.
A global city, built for ambition
Sunshine, safety, world-class infrastructure and a deeply international community — Dubai pairs an exceptional quality of life with no personal income tax. Here's what living here is like.
Ambition, made easy
Dubai brings together the things globally mobile people value most: a tax-free income, year-round sun, exceptional safety, and infrastructure and connectivity that simply work — all in English, the language of business and daily life.
- No personal income tax on your earnings
- One of the safest major cities in the world
- A global hub bridging Europe, Asia and Africa
Premium — and tax-free
Dubai is a premium city, and prime housing and international schooling reflect that. But with no income tax on earnings, take-home pay stretches considerably further than in most comparable global cities.
Costs vary widely by lifestyle and area — from value-driven communities to the marquee waterfront addresses. We help you balance the two against how you want to live.
Healthcare, schooling & the practical things
Healthcare
World-class private hospitals and clinics; health insurance is mandatory for residents.
International schools
A vast choice of British, IB and American curriculum schools across the city.
Connectivity
A global aviation hub with direct links to almost everywhere, and fast infrastructure throughout.
Safety
Consistently ranked among the safest major cities in the world.
Banking & admin Advice
Emirates ID, accounts, utilities and visa consultancy.
Community
Over 200 nationalities, so newcomers find their feet quickly.
Communities for every life
Downtown
The cosmopolitan centre — landmark living and city energy.
Marina & JBR
Waterfront high-rise living with beach and buzz.
Palm Jumeirah
Iconic island living at the premium end.
Hills & Ranches
Green, low-density family communities with villas and schools.
