Eligibility Snapshot
Avarra by Palace Golden Visa Facts
Avarra by Palace is a freehold, Palace-branded residential tower by Emaar Properties in Business Bay, holding 688 residential units. The Dubai Land Department register lists it as project number 4227 on plot 141, registered on 20 November 2025 with a recorded construction start of 15 May 2026, and the RERA inspection of 10 June 2026 gave a DLD register reading of 0.08% at the Enabling Works, Progressing stage, against 0% at the first inspection on 18 November 2025. For residency planning the headline is simpler: the lowest priced unit, a 1 bedroom at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, already sits above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Buyers here therefore choose a layout on use and budget rather than on visa eligibility. Handover is expected in June 2031, when Oqood registration gives way to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Avarra by Palace Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
The usual high-rise question, whether the smallest layout reaches the Golden Visa minimum, does not arise at Avarra by Palace: the entry 1 bedroom clears AED 2M ≈ USD 545K by AED 0.70M ≈ USD 191K, and the margin widens with every added bedroom up to the 4 bedroom at AED 13.40M ≈ USD 3.65M. That moves the real decision to how the apartment will be lived in or let. The tower also includes a six-bedroom penthouse, which carries no published price and is therefore not assessed in the table below.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | ≈ 789 sq ft (73 sq m) | AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | ≈ 1,199 sq ft (111 sq m) | AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | ≈ 1,640 sq ft (152 sq m) | AED 5.70M ≈ USD 1.55M | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Apartment | ≈ 4,226 sq ft (393 sq m) | AED 13.40M ≈ USD 3.65M | Yes |
| All four priced apartment types at Avarra by Palace qualify individually at current starting prices. No combining of properties is needed. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a 1 bedroom registered at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K keeps you above the threshold from the day the Oqood is issued, long before handover. A resale or discounted unit registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on its own, so confirm the contract value of your specific apartment before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Avarra by Palace Can Apply
Avarra by Palace launched on a 90/10 plan: 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 80% across ten construction-period instalments from January 2026 to April 2030, and the final 10% on completion in June 2031. On that launch schedule of record, cumulative payments reach 25% after the June 2026 instalment, 45% by September 2027 and 60% by September 2028, then rise to 90% by April 2030 through instalments linked to estimated construction completion milestones. The January and June 2026 dates have already passed, so a buyer booking now should read the schedule set out in their own Sales and Purchase Agreement. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, 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 handover five years out, this plan gives Avarra by Palace buyers two realistic routes, and the right one depends on why you want the visa. Buyers relocating a family or needing residency soon can apply on the strength of an Oqood-registered contract once the applicable paid-value conditions are met, which here means building the file while the site is still at the enabling works stage recorded at the 10 June 2026 inspection. Investors with no deadline often prefer the simplest possible file: wait for the June 2031 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.

Avarra by Palace Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
All four priced apartment types. The 1 bedroom starts at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, the 2 bedroom at AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M, the 3 bedroom at AED 5.70M ≈ USD 1.55M, and the 4 bedroom at AED 13.40M ≈ USD 3.65M, so each clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold on its own without combining properties. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of your specific unit, and the full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
The 1 bedroom starts at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, which is AED 0.70M ≈ USD 191K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K Golden Visa threshold. That margin matters most on resale: a secondary-market unit bought for less than the launch figure qualifies only if its own registered value stays at or above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K under the regulations in force when the application is made.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration of the purchase at the Dubai Land Department, plus proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions commonly 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 issued at handover in June 2031. Avarra by Palace is freehold and open to all nationalities, and the off-plan route is explained in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
On the launch schedule of record, 10% is paid on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 80% across ten instalments from January 2026 to April 2030, and 10% on completion in June 2031. Cumulative payments reach 45% by September 2027, 60% by September 2028, and 90% by April 2030, so a buyer who wants residency before handover can time the application against whichever paid-value condition is in force when applying. The January and June 2026 dates have already passed, so the schedule in each buyer's own Sales and Purchase Agreement governs.
Financed property has been accepted under recent Golden Visa rules, commonly with a no-objection letter from the lending bank and conditions on the amount already paid that are updated from time to time. Because Avarra by Palace is off plan until the June 2031 handover and 90% of the price falls due before completion under the payment plan, any financing arrangement should be checked against the conditions in force at the time of application before it is relied on for eligibility.
Under the commonly applied rule, each co-owner qualifies as an investor only if their own share of the registered value reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. At current starting prices, an equal two-way split of the 1 bedroom gives each owner AED 1.35M ≈ USD 368K, below the line, while an equal split of the 3 bedroom gives AED 2.85M ≈ USD 776K each and of the 4 bedroom AED 6.70M ≈ USD 1.82M each. An equal split of the 2 bedroom lands exactly on AED 2M ≈ USD 545K per owner, so the exact contract value needs confirming before it is relied on.
Golden Visa holders can commonly sponsor family members, such as a spouse and children, under the conditions in force at the time of application, without a separate property purchase for each dependant. For a family that will live in the tower, the 3 bedroom from ≈ 1,640 sq ft (152 sq m) and the 4 bedroom from ≈ 4,226 sq ft (393 sq m) are the largest priced layouts, and both sit well above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Which relatives qualify is covered in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
The property Golden Visa currently runs for 10 years and is renewable. Renewal commonly depends on still owning qualifying property at the required value when the renewal is filed, so selling the Avarra by Palace apartment, or reducing ownership below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, would remove the basis for the visa under the conditions in force at that time.
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 a buyer eligible to apply, but approval depends on meeting every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. The full sequence from property registration to Emirates ID issuance is set out in the Golden Visa application guide.
