Where you can own
RAK Municipality’s sale-contract service card says UAE and non-Emirati buyers can own property in freehold areas, and names seven: Al Hamra Village, Mina Al Arab, Al Marjan Island, RAK Central, Julphar Towers, Al Maareedh and Beach District. Check your plot against that list, and ask your lawyer to confirm the current rules.

How your money is protected
- 01
Your payments held in escrow, with a defect reserve
As reported, Decree No. 12 of 2023 requires an escrow account in each project’s name with a RERA-registered trustee, and a 5% retention held for one year after completion to cover defects.
- 02
A regulator controls escrow releases
RAK RERA registers developers and projects and oversees escrow; the trustee bank releases money only on RERA verification.
- 03
Your purchase on the property register
Sales are registered through RAK Municipality’s Lands and Properties Sector, under Law No. (11) of 2021 on the Real Estate Registry. RAK RERA sits within the Municipality.

Before you pay, ask for the project’s marketing permission
RAK developers may not advertise in local or foreign media, or exhibit, without written permission from RAK RERA, applied for through the RAK eGovernment portal. As reported, off-plan projects cannot be marketed until the developer holds an Off Plan Sale Permit. Ask to see both before you pay anything.
Ras Al Khaimah 07
Residence: what to confirm before relying on a golden visa
The federal u.ae page lists investors in real estate with a minimum capital of AED 2 million among those who can apply for a golden visa, and shows five years for real estate investments.
Ask the issuing authority whether your Ras Al Khaimah purchase, and an off-plan one in particular, would qualify before you rely on it. The authorities decide each application.

Answers before you share any details.
If your question is not answered here, an adviser can go through it with you during a consultation.
RAK Municipality names seven freehold areas: Al Hamra Village, Mina Al Arab, Al Marjan Island, RAK Central, Julphar Towers, Al Maareedh and Beach District. Confirm your plot is inside one.
The Municipality’s service card lists 2% of market value for the buyer and 2% for the seller, plus AED 200 for the plan and AED 200 for the title deed. Ask the developer and the Municipality for any off-plan registration fee in writing.
Yes, by an escrow regime: RAK RERA oversees project escrow and the trustee bank releases money only on its verification. Pay only into the project escrow account, and read what your sale agreement says if handover slips.
The Municipality’s service card lists Emirates ID for both parties, so ask the developer how buyers without one complete registration. Steps that need a signature or attendance can be handled by a representative under a power of attorney notarised and legalised in your home country.
Their RAK launches are recent: BEYOND unveiled EVERMORE in February 2026, Shoreline is reported as DAMAC’s first RAK project, and Ellington states completion in Q4 2027. Judge each on its plans and on the homes the developer has completed in Dubai.
