Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour Golden Visa

The 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.55M ≈ USD 694K and the 3 bedroom apartments from AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M clear the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on their own. The 1 bedroom apartments at AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K sit below the threshold and do not qualify individually. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the property, and the full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

No. At AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K the 1 bedroom layouts sit below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment minimum, so a 1 bedroom purchase does not carry a Golden Visa route on its own. A buyer whose main reason for purchasing is residency needs the 2 bedroom from AED 2.55M ≈ USD 694K or the 3 bedroom from AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M.

Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, completed after booking, together with 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 the simplest file wait for the title deed issued at the January 2029 handover. The sequence is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

Altus sells on an 80/20 plan: 10% on booking, eight further instalments totalling 70% during construction, and the final 20% on 100% construction completion in January 2029, with a 4% DLD registration fee payable in addition. Because the qualifying value is the registered purchase value rather than the amount paid to date, the schedule matters mainly for the paid-value condition commonly applied to off-plan applications, which should be confirmed in its current form before submitting.

Most off-plan buyers at Altus use the developer payment plan rather than a mortgage, and financing generally becomes available at handover, when a completed apartment can be registered against a standard UAE mortgage product. Where a qualifying property is financed, additional conditions and lender documentation are commonly applied, and those conditions are updated from time to time, so the position should be checked against the rules in force at the time of application.

Yes. The property Golden Visa allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with dependants issued residency running alongside the main holder's own term, subject to the requirements in force at the time of application. Sponsorship rules and what the visa does and does not cover are detailed in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The property route currently carries a renewable 10 year residency term. Renewal rests on continuing to satisfy the conditions in force at that point, including continued ownership of the qualifying property, so an owner who sells the qualifying apartment should expect the residency position to be reassessed. Renewal steps are covered in the Golden Visa application guide.

Yes. Title at Altus is freehold and available to buyers of every nationality, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 3184. Registered ownership in the buyer's own name is a requirement for a property-based Golden Visa, which is why the registration route at Altus runs from Oqood at booking to title deed at the January 2029 handover.

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 an applicant eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and the standard medical and background checks. Certified construction status can be checked at any time on the Altus construction updates page.
