Is it legal for non-married couples (1 male, 1 female) to live together in Dubai?

My girlfriend and I are thinking of moving to DXB. We'll be buying property as a way to get residency permits, but can we buy a flat as a non-married couple and obtain residency? Thanks.Is it legal for non-married couples (1 male, 1 female) to live together in Dubai?
The main purchaser is allowed to apply for a 3 year residency permit when purchasing certain properties. Not all properties have this eligibility and hence clarification should be sought before purchase. A resident鈥檚 visa does not entitle the holder to work. The main purchaser may re-apply for residency every 3 years indefinitely as long as the applicant is still a property owner and has not breached any Dubai regulations. The cost of a residency application is about 拢1000. This may vary between developers. There will also be an administration charge to arrange. The main purchaser may then sponsor the rest of his FAMILY. The number of bedrooms in the property will determine how many resident permits may be allowed. Properties may be purchased jointly by a husband or WIFE but a main purchaser must be designated and the principle purchaser only will be allowed to apply for the residency visa. Once the principle purchaser has a residency visa then he/she will be allowed to sponsor other immediate family members. They will not be allowed to sponsor friends or PARTNERS. A resident will be required to enter Dubai at least once every six months, for his visa to remain valid.





In the UAE it is illegal for a non married couple to live together also when the authorities only react on complaints. Only one of you would be able to obtain a residence visa by buying property. (Mostly the man/husband) You will not be able to sponsor your girlfriend.

yes but be veary careful
Yes, it is illegal and when renting an apartment together you will be asked for the marriage certificate.
It is illegal for non married couple to live together in UAE. But people do live there. As far as rules relating to purchase of property u can contact any builders like DAMAC etc.....they can tell u the rules better...
