    Can I obtain a residency visa if I buy off plan

    Yes recent changes in visa regulations now allow investors to apply for a residence visa even for off plan properties provided they meet certain criteria and the developer is recognized. Usually you can apply once you have paid a significant percentage of the property value or upon handover. For properties valued over 2 million dirhams you may be eligible for the 10 year Golden Visa which offers long term stability for you and your family.
