The oil rich country has successfully diversified its economy after investing petro dollars in business, trade, tourism, finance and real estate sectors. The zero tax regimes on monthly income or for personal assets make this country heaven for investors and foreign job seekers willing to improve their standards of living. A decade back foreigners were not allowed to buy real estate, leasing used to be the only option they can avail for their accommodation or business. Later, implementation of freehold property law in year 2002, empowered foreigners to buy assets in designated areas of specific emirates. Dubai was the first among all seven emirates and allowed overseas buyers to buy real estate assets not only to fulfill personal accommodation needs but also as an investment. Having observed the positive impact of this bold decision, the neighboring emirates of Abu Dhabi and Sharjah open their asset market for overseas buyers as well.
