Quick answer
How a remote, power-of-attorney deal works
A Dubai purchase can be completed entirely remotely. You grant a power of attorney (POA) to a trusted representative — usually your agent or lawyer — notarised in your country and attested by the UAE embassy (or signed at a UAE notary if you visit once). Your representative then signs the MoU, handles the NOC, transfers funds through a licensed channel, and registers the title at the DLD in your name. The full remote process typically takes 2–3 weeks for ready property. Always verify the title deed, the brokerage’s RERA licence and the developer escrow before transferring money.
