Investing in Dubai from Israel
Since the Abraham Accords, investing in Dubai from Israel is a real trend: Dubai costs about half of Tel Aviv per sqm, with higher yields and 0% local tax. Level8 serves this clientele in French and English.
The most profitable market — and the simplest to own
Beyond your country's own rules, Dubai's appeal rests on five durable fundamentals that hold for every foreign investor.
No local tax
None on rent, none on capital gains, none on income in Dubai. Tax happens on your residence-country side — which is why it must be planned.
Target net yield
Gross rental yields of 6–9% are common in the right locations — well above major European capitals.
Golden Visa
A property investment from AED 2M grants a renewable 10-year resident visa for you and your family.
Pegged currency
The dirham has been pegged to the dollar since 1997. No surprise FX risk on your asset's value.
Deep market
Tens of thousands of transactions a year, a public registry (DLD) and fast resale — a transparent, liquid market.
Framework & legality
No nationality restriction in freehold zones: an Israeli can buy freely. Remote purchase possible, DLD registration, costs ≈ 4% + ~2-3%.
Financing
Non-resident financing can be stricter (20-30%+ down, minimum income); some developers accept crypto payment. Many buy cash or via the off-plan plan.
From selection to signing, guided end to end
One point of contact, independent advice, and zero extra cost to you — we're paid by the developer, not from your pocket.
Framing
We define the goal together (yield, capital gain, Golden Visa) and the budget net of your tax.
Curated selection
We present a negotiated short-list of off-plan and turnkey addresses, each vetted.
Negotiation & booking
We negotiate the payment plan, reserve, register at the DLD — remotely by PoA if needed.
Tax planning
We frame the residence-country declaration with you before signing, not after.
Invest where rental demand runs strongest
Marina, Downtown, Palm, Business Bay, JVC: Level8 steers your capital toward the areas with the best-established yield / resale balance — not the property that's easiest for an agent to sell.
Dubai: 0% rent and capital gains. An Israeli tax resident must however report rental income and capital gains to the Israel Tax Authority under Israeli rules. Beyond the numbers, the decision often hinges on community (synagogues, kosher, schools) and the direct Tel Aviv–Dubai air link.
Repatriating funds
Free transfer of funds (USD-pegged dirham). Report income and gains to the Israel Tax Authority.
