Hi Siddharth,

1) You cannot just buy a Residence visa. The visa scheme associated with property purchase is under controversy so i am not sure what the situation there is.

2) Same as above. This is kind of controversial for now. It was promised before but is under review right now.

3) Refer 1 and 2

4) In Dubai, a good 2 BR apartment will be upwards of INR 2 crore's while a townhouse would be around INR 3.5 Crores and above. Bungalow (Villa) will be around INR 4 crore's and above.

5) Inflation is at its highest right now in Dubai so living here is getting expensive. Biggest expensive for most people is accommodation. Annual rent for a 2BR apartment in a good area should be around AED 150k (INR 1.5 lakhs) and above, usually around 200k (INR 2 lakhs) if in areas like Dubai Marina or Burj Dubai. For a family of your size, depending on your lifestyle, expect to spend around 7-10k (INR 70,000 - 1 lakh) a month for education, insurance, living expenses etc. Again, this is subjective. It all depends on your lifestyle really, so i can't really answer that question accurately.

6) Forums like this would be the best place to get such answers

Good luck with your plans!

Hi Talk,

Education is getting expensive here and is paid right from pre-school!

Expect to pay an average of AED 1000/month per child. I don't think transportation would be covered in this so add another AED 150-200/month for this. I've been told that some private schools charge as much as AED 300/month for transportation alone.
