A few days after the successful campaign promoting its new business line related to real estate sales in Dubai, Unique Estates registered its first transactions in the most popular investment destination today. Both editions of the exclusive Dubai Property Show, which the company organized for its Bulgarian clients, aroused great interest and enjoyed high attendance. During the event, Unique Estates presented the most interesting investment projects in Dubai together with its official partner in the United Arab Emirates - Bonne Apart UAE.
When it comes to investment in Dubai, Unique Estates has the advantage of relying on the experience and support of Bonne Apart UAE, a company that has proven itself to be one of the market leaders.

But what are the regulations related to investment and residency in Dubai and how do you get a Golden Visa?
Over the past few years, the United Arab Emirates have been trying to rebuild the country's economy and attract investors, as well as successful and talented people from around the world. This is facilitated by the competent migration policy of the country, which simplifies moving to the UAE and promises a whole range of bonuses. The government provides investors who purchase property above $270,000 (AED 1 million) with an investor visa, which entitles them to an Emirates ID and driver's license. The Golden Visa is a long-term resident visa that enables foreign talents to live, work or study in the UAE. Investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, outstanding students and graduates, as well as members of international or regional humanitarian organizations are among those eligible for a Golden Visa.
