How do currency movements affect my installments on a Dubai off-plan purchase?
Dubai off-plan prices and payment plans are set in AED, so the AED amount you owe at each instalment does not change with currency movements; what changes is how much that AED amount costs you in your own currency. No forecast is offered here.

Can I buy off-plan property while in Dubai on a visit visa?
Yes. Buying property in Dubai does not require a residence visa, so a tourist or visit visa is enough to reserve a unit, sign a booking form and later the SPA. Your passport is the main document needed at every stage.

Can I change the name on the SPA before Dubai Land Department registration?
Generally yes, before registration, but it requires the developer's no-objection certificate (NOC) and follows the developer's own process; any fee involved is precised by the developer. It is not a step to attempt without confirming the process first.
