For Tourists & Expats
Safe Deposit Box Rental for Tourists & Expats in Dubai? Yes, tourists and expats can rent a safe deposit box in Dubai without a UAE residency visa or a local bank account. At Capital Vaults, we provide 24/7 high-security storage using only your original Passport or Emirates ID for registration.
Why Expats & Tourists Choose Private Vaults Over Banks
In Dubai, traditional bank lockers often come with long waiting lists and strict eligibility criteria. For non-residents, the process can be nearly impossible.
-
No Bank Account Required: Unlike local banks, Capital Vaults does not require you to hold a minimum balance or have a UAE bank account.
-
Zero Residency Restrictions: Whether you are in Dubai on a 30-day tourist visa or a long-term golden visa, you are eligible for a private vault.
-
Instant Setup: Our registration process takes under 10 minutes, providing you with immediate access to your box.
-
24/7 Global Access: Tourists on tight schedules benefit from our 24/7 access policy, allowing access at any hour, 365 days a year, without an appointment.
Security Standards for International Assets
We understand that international travelers and expats carry high-value assets such as gold bullion, luxury watches, and critical travel documents. Our facility is engineered to protect these specifically:
-
Grade 7-2 Certification: Our vaults are tested against explosives, drills, and gas lances—standards far exceeding typical bank lockers.
-
SIRA Regulated: Directly linked to Dubai Police, ensuring your assets are monitored by the highest level of UAE security authority.
-
Biometric Privacy: We use advanced hand-vein and facial recognition. This ensures that only you can access your box; even our staff has “Zero-Knowledge” of your vault’s contents.
What You Can Store?
-
Travel Documents: Passports, visas, and international property deeds.
-
High-Value Assets: Gold coins, jewelry, and luxury timepieces.
-
Digital Wealth: Physical backups for Crypto cold-storage wallets and seed phrases.
-
Cash & Heirlooms: Securely store legal tender or sentimental items while transitioning between homes.
Frequently Asked Questions for Expats
Do I need a local sponsor to rent a box?
No. You are the sole owner of your contract. No local sponsor or secondary signatory is required.
Is my box insured if I am a tourist?
Yes. Every rental includes a base insurance policy, which can be increased based on the value of your stored items.
What happens if I leave the country?
You can appoint a nominee or co-holder (who must also register biometrically) to access the box in your absence, or simply keep your assets secured until your next visit.
