Step 1
Shortlist from Seoul
We send live availability, floor plans and the payment plan for each DAMAC project that fits your budget in KRW, so you compare before anything is reserved.
Step 2
Reserve remotely
Units are held on a booking form and signed digitally. No trip to Dubai is required, which matters when the flight is around 9 hours 30 minutes.
Step 3
Remit the first payment
A bank transfer from Seoul covers the 10% booking amount plus the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee.

Pay on milestones, then handover
The balance follows construction milestones on the DAMAC payment plan. At completion we arrange snagging, handover and, if you want it, letting.
Questions from Seoul
DAMAC property in Dubai, answered for Seoul buyers
Can someone living in Seoul buy a DAMAC property in Dubai?
Yes. DAMAC communities are freehold, which means buyers based in Seoul can own the property outright in their own name with no residency requirement and no local sponsor. The purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department and the title deed is issued in the buyer's name.
How much do I need to start, in KRW?
Entry level DAMAC homes start from roughly approx. ₩560M. On an off-plan launch the first payment is usually 10% of the price plus the 4% Dubai Land Department fee, so a buyer in Seoul typically transfers around 14% up front and pays the balance on the construction milestones.
Do I have to fly to Dubai to complete the purchase?
No. Buyers from Seoul regularly reserve remotely: units are held on a booking form, documents are signed digitally and funds are remitted by bank transfer. Dubai is around 9 hours 30 minutes from Seoul, so most buyers visit later for handover or snagging rather than to sign.
Which DAMAC communities suit buyers from Seoul?
Investors focused on yield tend to choose apartments in Dubai Harbour, Dubai Harbour and Downtown Dubai. Families buying a second home lean towards villas and townhouses in DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Riverside and DAMAC Hills 2, which is next to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City.
Is the Golden Visa available on a DAMAC purchase?
A property investment of AED 2M or more qualifies for the 10-year renewable UAE Golden Visa, and it can be met with off-plan units as well as completed homes. Buyers in Seoul often combine two smaller units to reach the threshold.
What is the tax position for a Korean buyer?
Dubai charges no annual property tax and no tax on rental income. There is a one-off 4% transfer fee at registration. Korean buyers should still check reporting obligations on overseas assets and rental income at home, which is covered in our South Korea buyer guide.
Alongside our latest off-plan launches, we have a curated selection of completed, handover-ready DAMAC residences across Downtown, DAMAC Hills, Dubai Harbour and more, perfect for buyers who want to move in or start earning rental income straight away.
