310 Riverside Crescent Golden Visa

Three of the four. 1.5 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.13M ≈ USD 580K, 2 bedroom apartments at AED 2.45M ≈ USD 667K and 2.5 bedroom apartments at AED 3.42M ≈ USD 931K, so each clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold on its own at its starting price. 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.36M ≈ USD 370K, below the threshold, and do not qualify alone. Eligibility follows the registered purchase value of the specific unit, and the full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

In principle, yes. Off-plan applications are commonly supported by the Oqood registration of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, alongside evidence that the contract reaches the qualifying value and satisfies any paid-value conditions in force when the application is filed; those conditions are updated from time to time. An owner happy to keep the paperwork simple may hold off until the title deed follows handover, expected in Q4 2027. The off-plan route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The plan is a 20% down payment at booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 40% during construction and 40% on handover in Q4 2027, with the timing of the construction 40% set in the SPA. The registration fee is a government cost paid on top of the price and is not part of the purchase value. Because 60% of the price falls due before the keys, an application during construction is often possible once the paid-value conditions in force are met; the exact point depends on the SPA schedule of the individual unit.

Oqood is the Dubai Land Department's interim registration for an off-plan purchase: it records the buyer's contract on a unit at 310 Riverside Crescent while the tower is under construction. The title deed replaces it after completion, once the handover payment is settled and ownership is transferred, with handover expected in Q4 2027. A file built on Oqood relies on the off-plan conditions applied at the time; a file built on a title deed rests on completed, registered ownership.

Usually that route is open, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. Sobha Realty's plan allows the 40% handover payment to be settled with a mortgage, and mortgaged property has commonly been accepted for property-based applications, with the assessment typically looking at the amount paid so far and supported by documents from the lending bank. Confirm the current mortgage conditions before relying on financing for eligibility.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's own share of the registered purchase value rather than on the full price, under the regulations in force at the time of application. On a 2.5 bedroom from AED 3.42M ≈ USD 931K, for example, an equal two-way split gives each owner AED 1.71M ≈ USD 466K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Rules for joint and family ownership are updated from time to time, so confirm how they apply before structuring the purchase.

The property-based Golden Visa commonly allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. Sponsorship follows the main applicant's visa, so a family planning to move together should first make sure the unit clears the threshold on its registered value: at 310 Riverside Crescent the 1.5, 2 and 2.5 bedroom types do at their starting prices, and the 1 bedroom does not. What the visa covers for dependants is set out in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal commonly depends on still holding qualifying property when the visa comes up for renewal, so an owner who keeps a 1.5, 2 or 2.5 bedroom apartment at 310 Riverside Crescent with a registered value above the threshold would renew on that basis, under the regulations in force at that time.

Eligibility belongs to the owner and the registered purchase value, not to the unit. A seller who no longer holds qualifying property should expect the property basis of the visa to fall away, with the consequences set by the rules in force at that time. A buyer on resale is assessed on the price they register: a unit bought below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K does not qualify on its own, even if it launched above that level.

No. When a 310 Riverside Crescent apartment is bought through this advisory, the VIP visa service is free: document preparation, submission and follow-up on the application status are all included. The service is free, government fees apply, at the rates the issuing authorities publish when the application is filed.

No. A qualifying purchase makes the buyer eligible to apply; approval rests with the UAE residency authorities and depends on meeting every requirement in force when the application is filed, including checks on ownership and on the applicant's background. Progress on the tower toward the Q4 2027 handover is recorded on the 310 Riverside Crescent construction updates page.
