Golden Visa de Emirados Árabes Unidos Através de Imóvel, a Partir de Reino Unido
British buyers use UAE property for a ten-year golden visa and, for many, a move out of UK tax residence. What is different from the UK: the statutory residence test decides when you stop being UK resident, UK property income stays taxable in the UK, and the 2025 end of the non-dom regime changed the planning.

Resposta rápida
UK citizens can get a 10-year UAE golden visa by owning property worth at least AED 2 million, including approved off-plan and mortgaged property. Moving to the UAE does not end UK tax on its own: the statutory residence test decides when you become non-resident, and UK property income remains taxable in the UK. The UK–UAE tax treaty applies.

O que muda a partir de Reino Unido
Statutory residence test
Whether you stop being UK resident depends on days in the UK and your ties (family, accommodation, work). Split-year treatment can apply in the year you leave.
UK assets after you leave
Rental income from UK property and gains on UK land stay taxable in the UK. The four-year foreign income regime from April 2025 matters if you return.
Off-plan with approved developers
Off-plan property can count, subject to the rules on payments made. We work with offplanproperty.com on off-plan projects.
