360 Riverside Crescent Golden Visa

Three of the four. The 2 Bedroom from AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K and the 2.5 Bedroom from AED 3.46M ≈ USD 942K are above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and the 1.5 Bedroom from AED 2.00M ≈ USD 545K sits exactly on it. Eligibility depends on the purchase value registered with the DLD being at least AED 2,000,000 ≈ USD 545K; a unit registered below that does not qualify. The 1 Bedroom from AED 1.41M ≈ USD 385K is below the threshold. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

Possibly, depending on the conditions in force at the time of application. Off-plan applications are typically supported by the Oqood registration issued after booking, alongside evidence that the registered purchase value reaches the threshold and that any paid-value conditions then applied are satisfied. A buyer who would rather submit the most straightforward file can hold off until handover in Q4 2027, when a title deed replaces the Oqood. Both routes are explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The plan is 20% at booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 40% during construction and 40% on handover in Q4 2027. The fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the price and is not part of the purchase value. Because 60% of the price is paid before the keys and each buyer's SPA sets when the construction 40% falls due, the point at which a buyer meets the paid-value conditions commonly applied to off-plan applications follows that SPA schedule rather than the construction register. Construction-stage payments go into the project's escrow account, described on the 360 Riverside Crescent escrow account page.

Not on its own. The 1 Bedroom starts from AED 1.41M ≈ USD 385K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold, so a single 1 Bedroom purchase does not meet it. In this tower the smallest type that reaches the threshold is the 1.5 Bedroom from AED 2.00M ≈ USD 545K, provided its registered value is at least AED 2,000,000 ≈ USD 545K. Prices and layouts for every type are on the 360 Riverside Crescent project page.

No. The VIP application service, which prepares the documents, submits the file and tracks its progress, is provided free of charge to buyers who purchase through this advisory. Government fees set by the issuing authorities remain payable and are not covered by the service.

No. A qualifying purchase allows a buyer to apply; the decision belongs to the UAE residency authorities, who verify ownership and run their standard reviews against the requirements in force when the application is made. A 1 Bedroom purchase alone does not reach the threshold, and a 1.5 Bedroom qualifies only if its registered value is at least AED 2,000,000 ≈ USD 545K. Progress toward the Q4 2027 handover is tracked on the 360 Riverside Crescent construction updates page.

Sobha Realty's payment plan allows the final 40% due on handover in Q4 2027 to be settled with a mortgage. Mortgaged property can support an application under the conditions commonly applied, which look at the registered purchase value, while the documents needed for a financed unit are set by the rules in force at the time of application. Those conditions are updated from time to time, so the current version should be confirmed with the lender and the authorities before the purchase is structured around it.

That depends on how the rules in force at the time of application treat jointly owned property. Under the approach commonly applied, the qualifying value is assessed on each owner's share, and on that basis even the 2.5 Bedroom from AED 3.46M ≈ USD 942K, split equally, gives each owner AED 1.73M ≈ USD 471K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Buyers planning a shared purchase should confirm the current treatment, including any provisions for spouses, before signing.

The UAE Golden Visa program currently allows holders to sponsor family members such as a spouse and children, under the conditions in force at the time of application. Sponsorship rests on the holder's own visa, so it depends first on the 360 Riverside Crescent purchase qualifying: a 1.5 Bedroom, 2 Bedroom or 2.5 Bedroom registered at AED 2,000,000 ≈ USD 545K or more. Who can be sponsored, and on what terms, is covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal generally depends on still meeting the qualifying conditions at that point, which for a property-based visa means continuing to own a qualifying unit, such as a 360 Riverside Crescent 1.5 Bedroom, 2 Bedroom or 2.5 Bedroom registered at the threshold or higher. The terms are set by the regulations in force at renewal and can change.

Eligibility follows the registered purchase value of each transaction, not the price the unit was first sold at. A resale unit bought below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on its own, even if the same type was originally sold at or over the threshold, which matters most for the 1.5 Bedroom, whose current starting price of AED 2.00M ≈ USD 545K leaves no margin. A seller whose visa rests on the unit should also expect that residency basis to end with the sale, under the rules in force at the time.
