Yes. Jumeirah Bay Island is one of Dubai's designated freehold areas, so buyers of any nationality can own property there outright, with a title deed issued by the Dubai Land Department.

Budget for about 6% to 7% on top of the purchase price. The Dubai Land Department transfer fee is 4% of the price. The registration trustee fee is about AED 4,200 for a property above AED 500,000, the title deed fee is about AED 580, and agency commission is typically 2% plus VAT. Buyers with a mortgage also pay a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount.

Property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify the owner for a 10-year Golden Visa, and property worth AED 750,000 or more for a 2-year investor visa. The rules are set by the UAE authorities and change from time to time, so we confirm your eligibility before you commit to a purchase.
