Bay Grove Residences Phase 2 Golden Visa

Three of the four. At starting prices the 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.72M ≈ USD 741K, the 3 bedroom apartments from AED 4.41M ≈ USD 1.20M and the 4 bedroom duplexes from AED 8.22M ≈ USD 2.24M each clear the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold by themselves. The 1 bedroom apartments, from AED 1.90M ≈ USD 517K, sit below it. Eligibility is judged on the registered purchase value of the individual unit; the Golden Visa requirements guide lists the full criteria.

Not on its own at its starting price. The 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.90M ≈ USD 517K, which is under the minimum property value of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K used for the property route to the 10-year Golden Visa. At Bay Grove Residences Phase 2 the first unit type above that minimum is the 2 bedroom apartment, from AED 2.72M ≈ USD 741K.

On price, yes. The 4 bedroom duplexes start at AED 8.22M ≈ USD 2.24M, well clear of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and they are registered in the same way as the apartments: an Oqood during construction, then a title deed after the November 2028 handover. Under the current program the visa is the same whichever unit type clears the threshold, so the larger purchase buys more home rather than a longer or broader residency.

Usually, yes. Off-plan purchases are commonly accepted on the strength of the Oqood, the interim sale registration with the Dubai Land Department, once the purchase value meets the threshold and whatever share-paid condition the authorities apply on the day you file has been satisfied; those conditions are updated from time to time. Buyers who prefer to file on completed ownership can wait for the title deed after handover in November 2028. The off-plan Golden Visa guide walks through that route step by step.

The launch plan takes 20% at booking, together with the 4% DLD fee, then 50% in dated instalments between May 2025 and January 2027, and 30% on handover in November 2028. That fee is paid on top of the price and is not part of the value measured against the threshold. Because the instalments follow calendar dates rather than construction stages, 70% of the price is scheduled before handover, so buyers on this plan tend to meet the paid-value conditions commonly applied to off-plan files early in the build. For a unit reserved now, the booking amount and any catch-up of instalments whose dates have passed are fixed in the reservation form and the SPA.

Often, with conditions. For joint ownership the approach commonly applied assesses each owner's share of the registered value against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, so at starting prices an equal two-way split of a 4 bedroom duplex gives each owner about AED 4.11M ≈ USD 1.12M, while the same split of a 2 bedroom apartment gives about AED 1.36M ≈ USD 370K each. Mortgaged property has been accepted with a letter from the lending bank, subject to conditions on the lender and the amount paid. Both rules are set by the authorities and change from time to time, so the treatment is confirmed against the regulations in force when you apply.

The property route generally allows the investor to sponsor a spouse and children, and in some cases other family members, under the sponsorship conditions in force at the time of application. Family sponsorship follows the investor's own eligibility, so at Bay Grove Residences Phase 2 it starts from a unit that clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold: at starting prices, a 2 bedroom apartment or larger. What sponsorship covers is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The property route currently grants a 10-year residence visa that can be renewed. Renewal generally depends on still holding qualifying property when the renewal is filed, so selling the unit, or holding a share below the threshold, affects the next renewal under the rules then in force. For a buyer who applies on the Oqood, the title deed issued after the November 2028 handover is expected to become the ownership record used for later renewals.

The usual sequence is: sign the SPA and pay the booking amount, the developer registers the sale with the Dubai Land Department as an Oqood, and once the purchase value and any paid-value condition in force are met, the application is filed with the ownership record, passport and photographs, followed by a medical test and Emirates ID biometrics. Document lists and timelines are set by the issuing authorities and change from time to time; each step is covered in the how to apply guide.

No. A qualifying purchase gives you the basis to apply; the decision rests with the issuing authorities, which check ownership, identity and security clearance against the requirements current on the day you file. The visa is a residence permit, not citizenship or a UAE passport, and it stays tied to holding qualifying property. Progress on the building behind the application is tracked on the Bay Grove Residences Phase 2 construction updates page.
