Anwa Aria Golden Visa

Eligibility Snapshot
Anwa Aria Golden Visa Facts
Anwa Aria is a 191-home freehold development by OMNIYAT on the Dubai Maritime City peninsula, comprising 175 residences, 14 seafront townhouses, and 2 penthouses, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 2726 on 4 September 2024, with with construction under way since 14 August 2023 and a registered total built-up area of 24,862.94 sq m and recorded at 73.54% progress at the latest RERA inspection on 3 July 2026. The detail that matters for residency planning: pricing runs from a studio at AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K, which sits below the line, up through a 1 bedroom apartment at AED 2.29M ≈ USD 624K, so the qualifying decision turns on which tier you buy rather than the project as a whole. Any residence at or above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment clears the UAE Golden Visa threshold, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Handover is expected in Q1 2027, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Anwa Aria Residences Meet the AED 2M Threshold
Anwa Aria spans a genuinely wide collection, and not every tier sits on the same side of the Golden Visa line. The studio is priced below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, so it does not qualify on its own. From the 1 bedroom apartment upward, every apartment and seafront townhome with a published starting price clears the threshold individually, so the residency decision comes down to which tier you choose rather than combining two homes.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio Apartment | 372 to 489 sq ft (35 to 45 sq m) | AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K | No, below AED 2M |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 806 to 1,461 sq ft (75 to 136 sq m) | AED 2.29M ≈ USD 624K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,460 to 1,655 sq ft (136 to 154 sq m) | AED 3.94M ≈ USD 1.07M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Seafront Townhome | 2,192 to 5,628 sq ft (204 to 523 sq m) | AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Seafront Townhome | 3,930 to 5,093 sq ft (365 to 473 sq m) | AED 5.00M ≈ USD 1.36M | Yes |
| The studio sits below the AED 2M line; every residence from the 1 bedroom apartment upward qualifies individually, with no combining of properties needed. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a 1 bedroom apartment bought at AED 2.29M ≈ USD 624K keeps you above the threshold even before handover, while the studio at AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K does not qualify on its own. The podium duplexes and four bedroom penthouses are released on request rather than at a published starting price, so their eligibility is confirmed against the registered value of the specific unit. Confirm the contract value on your chosen residence before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Anwa Aria Can Apply
Anwa Aria sells on a construction-linked 60/40 plan: a booking deposit plus the 4% DLD fee on reservation, 60% across the construction period, and the remaining 40% on completion. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which OMNIYAT completes after 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: with the tower recorded at 73.54% progress at the July 2026 inspection, most of the construction phase is already behind the project, so buyers who reach the commonly applied paid-value conditions can often apply on the strength of an Oqood-registered contract during the run to the Q1 2027 handover. Investors with no urgency often prefer the simplest possible file: wait for handover, when the title deed is issued and the application rests on completed, registered ownership. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me, the full application service, document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. You pay only the official government fees published by the issuing authorities.

Anwa Aria Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the tier. The studio starts at AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K and sits below the line, so it does not qualify on its own. From the 1 bedroom apartment at AED 2.29M ≈ USD 624K upward, every apartment and seafront townhome with a published price clears the threshold individually, without combining properties. Podium duplexes and penthouses are released on request, so their eligibility is confirmed against the registered value of the unit. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
No. At AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K the studio is priced below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment, so it does not qualify for the property Golden Visa on its own. Buyers who want residency from a single purchase should look at the 1 bedroom apartment tier or above, where the registered value clears the threshold.
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. With the tower recorded at 73.54% progress at the July 2026 inspection, many buyers reach those conditions during construction. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed at handover in Q1 2027. The process is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is a booking deposit plus the 4% DLD fee on reservation, 60% across the construction period, and 40% on completion. Because the project is near completion, most of that 60% construction phase is already behind it, so buyers commonly reach the applied paid-value conditions and can submit during construction once the current conditions are met.
Yes. Anwa Aria is freehold and open to all nationalities, with full ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility.

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. Construction status can be checked at any time on the Anwa Aria construction updates page.
