Al Hamra, the leading real estate developer, services provider and investment company in the Northern Emirates, in partnership with Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), is offering investors an unparalleled opportunity to secure a 12-year residency visa and a business licence when they purchase a ready-to-move-in seafront or golf-course view home in Al Hamra Village or Bab Al Bahr, two award-winning master-planned communities by Al Hamra, set in the scenic emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.
As part of the package, investors will enjoy exceptional incentives and benefits including a 12-year UAE residency visa, a business licence to undertake any of the hundreds of business activities as per the investor’s choice, an additional partner visa and a flexi-desk with modern amenities to conduct business seamlessly.
An elegantly designed apartment in the picturesque Al Hamra Village and Bab Al Bahr starts at Dhs 292,000. Investors will also have the opportunity to make the payment over a five-year period with a 20% upfront payment of the total value. The freehold home will be 100 per cent owned by the investor.
Investors who are interested to explore what the destination has to offer from the comfort and safety of their own home, can request a virtual walk-through of the picturesque residences and communities of Al Hamra.
Benoy Kurien, Group CEO of Al Hamra told Gulf Today that the UAE is among the top places to live and work in the region, in addition to being ranked as one of the world’s most-preferred tourist destinations. With its vibrant expatriate community, which makes up around 80 per cent of the population, international investors feel instantly at home in the UAE.
Further, the nation’s strategic geographical location, government support programmes, policy reforms, and infrastructure offers attractive opportunities for entrepreneurship and business growth.
“Ras Al Khaimah, named as the Gulf Tourism Capital for 2021 at the fifth annual meeting of tourism ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council, is now the fastest-growing tourism and investment destination in the region.
The government’s institutional approach has made the Emirate an investment destination of choice for SMEs and big businesses. More than 38,000 companies from 100 countries representing over 50 industries already operate in Ras Al Khaimah.
