Altan at Dubai Creek Harbour Golden Visa

Three of the four. 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.71M ≈ USD 738K, 3 bedroom apartments at AED 4.11M ≈ USD 1.12M and 3 bedroom townhouses at AED 6.95M ≈ USD 1.89M, so each of those layouts clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold individually at current starting prices. The 1 bedroom apartments, from AED 1.81M ≈ USD 493K, are priced below it. Always confirm the contract value of your specific unit; full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

No. The 1 bedroom apartments at Altan start at AED 1.81M ≈ USD 493K, which is below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value applied under the Golden Visa property route. The lowest-priced Altan layout above the threshold is the 2 bedroom apartment from AED 2.71M ≈ USD 738K.

Off-plan applications are commonly supported by the Oqood-registered contract and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application; those conditions are updated from time to time. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed at handover, expected in Q3 2029. The route is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

Altan launched on an 80/20 plan: 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, three 10% instalments dated Jul 2025, Jan 2026 and Jun 2026, four 10% instalments linked to construction milestones, and a final 20% on completion, estimated for Jul 2029. The three dated instalments have passed, so the amount due on a new contract depends on the terms Emaar applies at booking. Because the later instalments follow construction milestones rather than fixed dates, the share of the price paid at any point depends on progress on site, and it should be checked against the paid-value conditions commonly applied to off-plan applications at the time you apply.

Mortgaged property has been accepted under the Golden Visa property route, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application, which commonly include a no-objection letter from the lending bank. The property value test still applies, so the unit's registered purchase value needs to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, which at Altan means a 2 bedroom apartment, a 3 bedroom apartment or a 3 bedroom townhouse. During construction Altan is sold on Emaar's payment plan, and mortgage financing is more commonly arranged after handover in Q3 2029.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered purchase value, so each co-owner's share generally needs to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K under the conditions applied at the time of application; ownership between spouses may be treated differently under the rules in force. At Altan's starting prices, an equal two-way split stays above the line on the 3 bedroom townhouse from AED 6.95M ≈ USD 1.89M and, only narrowly, on the 3 bedroom apartment from AED 4.11M ≈ USD 1.12M, but not on the 2 bedroom apartment from AED 2.71M ≈ USD 738K.

The property-route Golden Visa commonly allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, and in many cases parents, under the conditions in force at the time of application. The family scope does not change with the Altan layout you buy, provided the purchase itself clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. What the residency covers for dependants is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The Golden Visa is currently issued as a 10-year renewable residency. Renewal under the property route generally depends on still holding qualifying property when the renewal falls due, assessed under the rules then in force, so selling the Altan unit before that point generally ends eligibility under this route unless other qualifying property is held.

The purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department first, as Oqood during construction and as a title deed after the Q3 2029 handover; the residency application, medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics follow under the requirements in force at the time. The full sequence is set out in the how to apply for the UAE Golden Visa guide.

No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.

No. A qualifying purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks.
