Eligibility Snapshot
Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 Golden Visa Facts
Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 is a 468-unit freehold cluster of townhouses and villas by DAMAC Properties inside DAMAC Islands 2, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 4369 on 25 March 2026, with construction started on 15 July 2026 and a reading of 0.32% in the Dubai Land Department project register at the inspection dated 16 September 2026. For residency planning, the price list does the work: the 4 bedroom townhouse starts at AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K and the 6 bedroom luxury villa at AED 9.51M ≈ USD 2.59M, so every current home type clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program on its own, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. In other words, the visa is never the reason to stretch to a bigger layout here; the entry townhouse carries it already. Handover is expected in June 2030, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Antigua Homes Meet the AED 2M Threshold
At Antigua the threshold question is settled at the bottom of the price list: the 4 bedroom townhouse opens AED 0.75M ≈ USD 204K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, and every other layout sits higher still. That changes how the choice should be made. The two 5 bedroom options share the same AED 3.67M ≈ USD 999K starting price, so the twin villa's extra floor area comes at no cost to residency, and the 6 bedroom luxury villa is a lifestyle decision rather than a visa one.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Bedroom Townhouse | ≈ 2,186 sq ft (203 sq m) | AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K | Yes |
| 5 Bedroom Townhouse | ≈ 2,829 - 3,158 sq ft (263 - 293 sq m) | AED 3.67M ≈ USD 999K | Yes |
| 5 Bedroom Twin Villa | ≈ 3,492 sq ft (324 sq m) | AED 3.67M ≈ USD 999K | Yes |
| 6 Bedroom Luxury Villa | ≈ 6,276 sq ft (583 sq m) | AED 9.51M ≈ USD 2.59M | Yes |
| All four current home types at Antigua qualify individually. No combining of properties is needed. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a 4 bedroom townhouse bought at AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K keeps you above the threshold from the day the Oqood is registered, long before handover. A resale or secondary unit registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on its own, so confirm the contract value on your specific unit before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Antigua Can Apply
Antigua sells on DAMAC's 20/55/25 plan: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 55% across 47 monthly instalments from month 3 to month 49 after the sale, and 25% on completion. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which follows the booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing: because the Antigua schedule runs on the calendar rather than on site milestones, you can see in advance how much you will have paid at any point. The balance stands at 20% on booking, 36% after the 12th instalment (within 14 months of the sale), 52% after the 24th (within 26 months) and 75% after the 47th (within 49 months). That gives two realistic windows. Buyers relocating a family or needing UAE residency early can apply on the strength of their Oqood-registered contract once the paid-value condition in force at the time is met, somewhere along that schedule. Buyers with no urgency can wait for the title deed at handover, which the developer anticipates in June 2030; the Dubai Land Department register carries a later registered completion date of 31 December 2030. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.

Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The 4 bedroom townhouse starts at AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K, above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold, and the 5 bedroom townhouses and 5 bedroom twin villas from AED 3.67M ≈ USD 999K and the 6 bedroom luxury villas from AED 9.51M ≈ USD 2.59M sit further above it, so each current home type qualifies individually without combining properties, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Always confirm the contract value of your specific unit, since a resale unit registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify alone. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration 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, so an Antigua buyer compares the amount paid under the 20/55/25 plan against the condition in force on the day of applying. The process is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 55% across 47 monthly instalments from month 3 to month 49 after the sale, and 25% on completion. Counting the deposit, the amount paid reaches 36% after the 12th instalment (within 14 months of the sale), 52% after the 24th (within 26 months) and 75% after the 47th (within 49 months). Because the schedule runs on the calendar, a buyer can read off in advance the month in which the commonly applied paid-value condition in force at the time is met.
The title deed is issued at handover, which the developer anticipates in June 2030, and a title-deed application rests on completed, registered ownership. The Dubai Land Department register lists a registered completion date of 31 December 2030 for project 4369, later than the developer's date, and recorded 0.32% progress at the inspection dated 16 September 2026, so the actual handover date is worth following on the Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 construction updates page.
Family sponsorship is one of the benefits of the 10-year Golden Visa program, and an investor whose Antigua purchase meets the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold applies as the main holder. Which relatives can be sponsored, and the documents each needs, are set by the residency authorities under the rules in force at the time of application. The current position is summarized in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
The program's current term is 10 years, renewable, for investors whose property meets the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and every Antigua home type starts above that figure, from AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K. The term and renewal conditions are those in force when the visa is issued or renewed, so they are confirmed at the time of each application.
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. The 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. Layouts, prices and the payment plan behind that purchase are set out in the Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 project guide.
