Arancia at The Yards Golden Visa

Two of the three types. 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K and 3 bedroom apartments at AED 3.30M ≈ USD 899K, both above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K, below the threshold, so they do not qualify. The 2 bedroom clears the line by only about AED 100K ≈ USD 27K at its starting price, so the registered value of the specific unit should be confirmed before applying. Full criteria are covered in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

Off-plan buyers of a qualifying 2 or 3 bedroom apartment can generally apply using their Oqood-registered contract as ownership evidence, provided the registered value clears the threshold and any paid-value condition set by the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities at the time of application is satisfied. The application then moves through the residency authorities, including medical screening and Emirates ID biometrics. Buyers who prefer to apply on a title deed can wait for handover in Q1 2029. The off-plan route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The developer's launch plan is 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 30% during construction, and 60% on completion in Q1 2029, with the instalment schedule set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. At most 40% of the price is paid before completion, so an application during construction depends on whether the paid-value condition applied at that time can be met within that share; otherwise the application follows completion and the title deed. The registration fee sits outside the purchase price and does not count toward the threshold. Instalments are paid into the project's escrow account, described on the Arancia at The Yards escrow account page.

Joint ownership is commonly accepted, but under the rules usually applied each co-owner's own share is assessed against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, with spouses sometimes treated as a single holding. As arithmetic only, a 3 bedroom apartment bought at AED 3.30M ≈ USD 899K and split equally gives each owner a share of AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K, below the threshold for an owner assessed on their own share. How joint and spousal ownership is treated is set by the regulations in force at the time of application.

Property bought with bank finance has commonly been accepted where the lender issues a no-objection letter and the registered value of the apartment still meets the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Any condition on how much of the price must already be paid is set by the authorities and updated from time to time, so a financed purchase of a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment at Arancia should be checked against the rules in force at the time of application.

A Golden Visa obtained through a qualifying Arancia purchase 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. Each dependant is assessed and documented separately, and age and relationship conditions are set by the residency authorities. Family sponsorship is covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal commonly depends on continuing to hold qualifying property, such as a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment at Arancia registered at or above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and on meeting the conditions in force at the time of renewal.

It is a residency visa, not UAE citizenship or a passport. It does not change the payment obligations in the Sale and Purchase Agreement or the Q1 2029 handover, and it stays tied to qualifying ownership: selling the apartment can affect the visa under the rules in force at that time. A 1 bedroom purchase at AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K does not reach the property threshold.

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 2 or 3 bedroom purchase gives the buyer the right to apply, and the residency authorities decide each file against the requirements in force on the day it is submitted, including ownership checks and routine security screening.
