They tried that with Russians and Putin retaliated by getting the owners to sign the properties over to the state and he made them property of the Russian Embassy London.
If they were to do that the confidence in the UK market would be destroyed and then the GBP would tumble.

I knew they had to do something to operate in mainland
UK is the best place to invest in real estate︀ for a foreigner. Too many Asian politicians and billionaires like Ambani, Mittal own properties in︁ London as it's the most prestigious and profitable place. UAE is second best. Please forget︂ about USA as it's a tax hell hole.

I think with the new law they have passed recently you can open companies in mainland now without requiring locals in partnership. They are also looking into granting UAE citizenship to people with required investments plus Arabic skills(not a law yet ). That's per gulf news reports.
That is good news. UAE really made themselves more attractive.
I spent there some time and liked the place but now I would not mind moving to.
Can you buy property remotely or with crypto there?

It used to be that some people bought properties on someone else's name with a POA remotely but I wouldn't advise nowadays. Before CRS took effect, you could have opened up an account in UAE remotely too but not anymore. Yes it might still be possible for you to buy a property in someone else's name by POA. There are some real estate companies who could arrange for you to cash out your cryptos and bring it to UAE︀ after cashing them overseas but directly buying through cryptos in UAE is not possible as︁ of now. As long as you have lots of money there are ways to do︂ everything. Ask people in mentor group or CaptK.
thanks. ok, I might get the mentor gold account here soon.
I would︁ also be open to get a residence visa there.
What is the understanding of lots︂ of money there exactly?
7 digit or does it already need to be 8 digits︃ and more?

It's cheaper to set up a company and get a visa then go via the golden visa route.
Crypto to purchase property is becoming very common but it has to be done the right way.
Don't buy via the POA route it's not accepted in the UAE anymore I can tell you stories where guys have become overnight millionaires because of it. A lot of investors crying because they thought the contract stood up but in court it broke some law.
For initial purchase due to the investor not being able to get there POA was fine but because they left it in their name︀ for a couple of years it now broke some law.

Besides if the person who owned properties for someone dies unexpectedly then their own︂ inheritors would own those properties by inheritance laws here. Your POA wouldn't work in case︃ of death of the person. I would never recommend it for temporary reasons either.
I'm most likely going for the 3 year Property Visa. I can't be bothered to set up some pretend company that will have no revenue. I'm thinking that even if the property prices continue to fall another 20% or so, that's fine and this setup will still be worth it for me.
Has anyone actually been though this process or seen any OFFICIAL information on this visa?
I can find official info on the 5 year (5M) investment visa (on both DLD and the DED website), but nothing on the 3 year.

On this visa I'll not be allowed to work inside the UAE,︀ so I'll have to check if there are any restrictions on trading stocks and investment︁ income. Anyone know?

What is the minimum amount for︂ the property visa? Depending on that 20% can be quite a chunk especially if you︃ are not living in it almost full time.
I would rather have another company.

JLT. I won't mention the building sorry.
Don't get me wrong... I liked the location (still today I think is one of the best), my building was literally a few steps from the metro station but the building was just awfully maintained (in fact there were always leaks) and no, you don't get leaks because it's too hot but because you use s**t materials.

On a side note, UAE property prices never recovered since the 2008 crisis. Somebody mentioned here the top was 2014, but it's not.
In fact I bought my condo in 2007 (still under construction) and sold it in 2014 (luckily) at a discount of 15% of what I bought it for. The only thing that saved my purchase is the currency exchange difference. So I managed to recover my money.
