encoded: In 2026, Dubai and Abu Dhabi remain among the largest investment markets in the UAE. However, while investors used to choose Dubai property without a second thought, today these two destinations differ in their advantages, price growth rates, returns, and investment risks. The choice of where to direct UAE investments in 2026 depends on the investor's goals: earning steady rental income, achieving long-term capital growth, or preserving assets. Let's break down where it's more profitable to buy property by comparing district development, property prices, and factors affecting investment returns. Dubai market analysis in 2026 Dubai is the most active property market in the UAE in terms of the number of deals with foreign investors. Brief price fluctuations for properties in the first half of the year, caused by geopolitical tension in the Middle East, temporarily reduced investor activity, but this had almost no effect on liquidity. Steady demand is currently sustained by population growth, a stable year-round tourist flow, and active growth in international business. Dubai remains in demand thanks to the returns on residential property: by choosing this location, an investor can count on both rental income and rising asset value. Average market figures and trends in 2026: short-term rentals bring up to 8–11% annually with proper property management; Dubai's ROI on long-term rentals is 6–8% per year; the average property price in popular districts starts from 18,000 AED per sqm (about $4,900), while in the premium segment it can exceed 50,000 AED per sqm (about $13,600). Which Dubai districts are in demand among investors? Property buyers in Dubai choose locations with developed infrastructure, high liquidity, and demand among tenants. Dubai Marina. A popular district for short-term rentals among tourists. It's located close to the coast, with all the necessary infrastructure. Business Bay. A business hub with high rental demand among employees of international compa…

encoded: Investors choose North Cyprus for its island location, mild climate, safety, high quality of life, and favorable tax system. This investment destination is in high demand and offers strong prospects for capital investment. On May 11, 2026, the rules for foreigners buying property in the country and the conditions for obtaining a residence permit were revised. In this article, we'll look at what has changed in the property purchase process, how to obtain a North Cyprus residence permit through property purchase, and how worthwhile buying residential property in the country is going forward. New restrictions on property purchases by foreign nationals North Cyprus (the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, TRNC) remains an accessible property market in the Mediterranean thanks to active construction of new developments, affordable prices, and the option to obtain a residence permit when buying a home. If you're planning to buy an apartment in North Cyprus in 2026, it's important to consider not just the price, but also the new legal requirements. Limit on the number of properties Previously, investors could buy only one property in North Cyprus, on a plot slightly larger than 0.6 hectares. In 2026, TRNC authorities revised this approach, increasing the number of properties foreigners are allowed to buy. The following rules currently apply: An investor can buy up to three apartments in multi-unit residential complexes, or one standalone house/villa on a plot no larger than 3,300 sqm, or up to two villas within the same complex. Buying a land plot of up to 1,338 sqm for building a house or villa is allowed, provided it doesn't conflict with current legislation. To carry out property transactions, the buyer needs to apply to the North Cyprus Council of Ministers (Permission to Purchase) for approval. Stronger oversight of contracts Special attention has been given to deals involving trust agreements or powers of attorney that could conceal the property's actual owner. Such…

encoded: Investing in Turkish real estate remains as relevant today as ever. The country offers affordable prices for apartments, homes, and villas in popular cities, which attracts wealthy investors from the EU and CIS countries. Earning income from renting out property in Turkey is only possible when you comply with the law and meet the requirements for this type of activity. In recent years, Turkey has tightened oversight of owners who rent out property short-term or long-term, and tax authorities are actively using digital services to verify income. If you're renting out property in Alanya, Antalya, or other popular Turkish cities, it's important to understand which taxes you need to pay and how to avoid fines. Short-term (tourist) rentals: new, stricter rules Short-term, or tourist, rentals involve renting out property for less than 100 days (a popular format among tourists during peak season). Renting out property for this period falls under Turkey's Housing Rental Law. Today, to list a property on Booking or Airbnb, you must obtain a license from Turkey's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, as well as meet the specified requirements. To obtain the license, you'll need: an application, a fee payment of 10,000 TRY, and payment for producing an entrance sign of 10,000 TRY, which together amounts to roughly $425/€373. The document is issued for a period of up to 100 days (for a single stay). Other requirements for owners in 2026: The property must display a sign indicating its tourist status. Obtain permission from apartment building owners (at least 80%) to rent out the unit, and have it notarized. If it's a residential complex with hotel-style infrastructure, permission isn't required. If the owner has more than 5 apartments in the same building, they must register as a legal entity. The owner must register guest information and submit it to the police system (under the KBS Law). The fine for an unregistered guest starts from 50,000 TRY ($1,063/€930). The property must ful…

encoded: In 2026, Thailand revised its entry rules for foreigners and changed the number of days visitors can stay without a visa. This was done to strengthen security in the region, reduce crime among foreigners, and crack down on illegal business activity. Let's break down how to enter Thailand in 2026, which visa a foreigner can apply for, and what documents to prepare for an upcoming trip. Tourist and visa-free entry to Thailand in 2026 What has changed in the country's legislation regarding visa-free entry and the tourist visa? In 2024, Thailand decided to grant foreigners a 60-day visa-free regime, but in 2026 the government decided to shorten this period. Under the new policy, foreigners can enter visa-free and legally stay in the country for up to 30 days. This is quite enough time for travel and vacation (in practice, 7–14 days is usually enough for tourists to see the main sights and enjoy the sea and culture of the region). Under the visa-free regime, entry rules to Thailand for Russians, citizens of former CIS countries, the US, Canada, Australia, and a number of Asian countries have no strict conditions. What are the requirements for a foreigner entering the country? length of stay no more than 30 days; the trip must be solely for tourism and leisure purposes; a valid passport with at least 6 months of validity; before entering the country, you must fill out the electronic Thailand Digital Arrival Card; a return ticket, proof of accommodation booking for the stay, and sufficient funds. If your goal is simply to see Thailand, there's no need to worry: the country welcomes tourists who respect its laws and rules. For a longer stay (more than 30 days), you need to apply for a tourist visa in advance. With it, you can legally stay in Thailand for up to 60 days: if there were no violations on your part during this period, the stamp for extending your stay can be issued once more inside the country for an additional 30 days at an immigration office. Applying for it co…

encoded: Buying property in Turkey remains a popular investment direction among investors: there is a huge selection of properties to choose from, whether for personal residence or commercial purposes.

encoded: The island of Bali has been popular among wealthy citizens from other countries for many years. In 2026, the situation here changed: the real estate market strengthened, offering premium properties in the form of villas, apartments, and hotels for purchase and rental business. An important factor in its development was the active modernization of the island's infrastructure – the construction of a second airport, the improvement of roads to reduce traffic congestion, and new port infrastructure to relieve highways. Such changes directly affect real estate: property value, liquidity, rental demand, and the attractiveness of districts for investors. Legal framework: Leasehold vs. Freehold in 2026 Do you want to buy real estate in Bali, but you are not an Indonesian citizen? It should be noted that foreigners cannot acquire full ownership of land; this privilege is available only to citizens of the country. Currently, there are two forms of real estate ownership available to investors in Bali: long-term leasehold and freehold. Leasehold Leasehold is the long-term use of a plot of land and real estate for 25–30 years with the possibility of extension. Advantages of leasehold real estate in Bali: a large selection of properties in the catalog from which you can buy real estate for long-term ownership; a relatively affordable entry threshold; the owner of a leasehold property has the right to commercially exploit the property, can lease it out, and receive income. It is also important to understand the possible risks. It is necessary to agree in advance on the terms of the lease extension, the cost of which may increase over the years. Freehold Only a legal entity (in the case of foreigners) can buy freehold property in Bali. It is necessary to register a foreign company in Indonesia (PT PMA), which allows the use of land and real estate under a contract. Advantages of freehold: long-term ownership for up to 80 years according to the scheme: 30 years + extension for 20 ye…

encoded: Buying property in Turkey involves more than just the cost of the property itself. Buyers should be prepared for additional expenses covering taxes and fees under the country's current legislation. In this article, we break down which property taxes in Turkey you need to pay in 2026 to become its legal owner. One-time taxes and fees when finalizing the deal What taxes and fees must be paid when purchasing residential or commercial property? Buying property in Turkey involves several stages, one of which is mandatory: registering ownership of the property, when the investor must pay the Tapu fee as a one-time payment. Tapu Harcı is a title deed transfer tax. Importantly, its rate is the same for both Turkish citizens and foreigners investing in Turkish real estate. The Tapu tax in Turkey is calculated based on criteria established by law, namely: Market value: the officially declared price serves as the base for the Tapu tax, but it can never be lower than the cadastral (tax) value. Municipal valuation – determines the minimum property value (required for tax purposes). Property type – apartment, house, villa, commercial property, office, etc., which initially affects the property's price. In 2026, the Tapu tax rate in Turkey remains unchanged at 4% of the officially registered property value. Under the country's legislation, this amount is split as follows: 2% is paid by the buyer; 2% is paid by the seller. In practice, buyers typically end up paying the full 4%, so it's best to clarify this point in the sale and purchase agreement in advance. New-build properties are also subject to VAT ranging from 1% to 18%, which is included in the total property price. Calculation example A foreigner buys an apartment for 9,000,000 TRY (an amount not lower than the municipal value). This means: Tapu tax = 9,000,000 x 4% = 360,000 TRY (approximately $7,710 / €6,741). *The exact amount in foreign currency depends on the exchange rate on the day of the transaction. When a property…

encoded: Important changes have taken place in Turkey for foreigners planning to apply for a residence permit through property ownership. According to local media reports, the e-ikamet online system has started accepting applications across almost the entire country again, without the previous district-based restrictions. Based on the latest information, only two districts in Istanbul remain closed to new applicants – Fatih and Esenyurt. Other locations that were previously restricted due to a high concentration of foreign residents are once again available for residence permit applications. What has changed Turkey previously had restrictions on residence permit applications in specific districts and neighbourhoods. These measures applied to popular locations in Istanbul, Antalya, Alanya, and other cities where the share of foreign residents had exceeded the permitted threshold. As a result, foreign buyers often faced a paradoxical situation: they could legally purchase property but were unable to apply for a residence permit using that address. The issue was especially noticeable in popular areas of Alanya, including Mahmutlar, Kestel, Avsallar, and Kargıcak. The situation is now changing. The e-ikamet system, through which residence permit applications are submitted, allows applicants to register addresses that were previously blocked. This means that the technical barrier to submitting documents has been removed in most districts. Why this matters for property buyers The reopening of these districts may significantly revive interest in Turkish real estate. For buyers, it expands the choice of locations: popular areas that were previously less convenient because of immigration restrictions can now be considered again. For the market, this is also an important signal. District closures had been limiting demand for several years, especially among buyers who were purchasing property not only for holidays or investment, but also for legal long-term residence in Turkey. However…

Turkey Introduces a 20-Year Tax Holiday for New Residents

encoded: Turkey has approved a new package of tax reforms that could make the country significantly more attractive for foreign investors, expats, and people considering relocation. One of the key changes is a 20-year exemption from tax on foreign-sourced income for new tax residents. What has changed The new rules apply to individuals who become tax residents of Turkey and have not had a permanent residence or tax obligations in the country during the previous three calendar years. For these residents, income earned outside Turkey will be exempt from income tax for 20 years. This may include dividends, interest, rental income from overseas property, capital gains, and other sources of foreign income. These earnings also do not need to be included in the annual Turkish tax return. At the same time, income earned within Turkey will continue to be taxed under the standard rules. In other words, the benefit does not cancel taxes on Turkish salaries, business income, or other profits generated inside the country. Inheritance and gift tax Another important change is the reduction of inheritance and gift tax for eligible new residents to a fixed rate of 1%. This may be especially relevant for high-net-worth investors and families considering Turkey not only as a country for property purchase, but also as a long-term jurisdiction for living, asset management, and inheritance planning. Asset amnesty The new package also includes an asset amnesty program. Individuals and legal entities will be able to declare and transfer foreign assets to Turkey, including cash, gold, foreign currency, and securities. According to published explanations, the deadline for declaration is set for July 31, 2027, while the tax rate will depend on the conditions and period of keeping the funds in Turkey. Why this matters for the real estate market For property buyers, this may become an additional argument in favor of Turkey. Previously, the tax burden on worldwide income could be a limiting factor for th…
