Dubai — property for Polish buyers

Dubai is today one of the investment destinations outside Europe most often chosen by Poles. No income tax and no property tax, a stable currency pegged to the dollar, high rental yields (on average 6–7% gross) and the possibility of obtaining a long-term residence visa when buying property mean that more and more of our clients ask about the market in the United Arab Emirates alongside traditional Spain.

World Residence has been on the real estate market since 1998 — since 2010 we have been helping Poles buy property in Spain, and since 2024 also in Dubai. We select offers in Dubai with the same care as properties on the Costa Blanca or the Costa del Sol — proven locations, reliable developers, full formal support from reservation to key handover.
