Baystar by Vida at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa

The property route of the UAE Golden Visa applies a minimum investment of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, measured on the registered value of the property, under the regulations in force at the time of application. At Baystar by Vida the lowest starting price, one bedroom apartments from AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K, sits about 5% above that line, so one apartment can meet it without combining properties. Meeting the threshold makes a buyer eligible to apply; approval still depends on every requirement in force at the time, including ownership verification and standard background checks.

All four tiers. One bedroom apartments start at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K, two bedrooms at AED 3.20M ≈ USD 871K, three bedrooms at AED 4.90M ≈ USD 1.33M, and four bedrooms at AED 11.30M ≈ USD 3.08M, so no Baystar by Vida tier sits below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K at its starting price. A resale unit, or any contract registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, would not qualify on its own. The full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Off-plan applications are commonly accepted on the strength of the Oqood registration for the unit and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application, which are updated from time to time. On the Baystar by Vida launch schedule, 80% of the price falls due during construction and 20% on completion in Dec 2029, so those conditions can usually be reached well before handover in Q4 2029. The off-plan route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

Financed property is commonly accepted for the property route when the loan comes from a bank operating in the UAE and the lender supplies the supporting documentation the authorities request, with the conditions in force at the time of application deciding the case. Some of those conditions look at the amount already paid rather than the price alone, so a financed Baystar by Vida purchase should be checked against the current rule before the application is filed.

Under conditions commonly applied, each co-owner's registered share must reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own. Split equally between two owners, a two bedroom at AED 3.20M ≈ USD 871K gives each AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K, below the line, while a three bedroom at AED 4.90M ≈ USD 1.33M gives each AED 2.45M ≈ USD 667K and a four bedroom at AED 11.30M ≈ USD 3.08M gives each AED 5.65M ≈ USD 1.54M. Arrangements for married couples who co-own can differ and follow the rules in force at the time of application.

Yes, within the program's current rules. The main holder can sponsor a spouse and children, and in some cases other family members, under the conditions in force at the time of application. Because every Baystar by Vida tier clears the threshold, a family can choose its layout for space, from the two bedroom to the four bedroom homes, without affecting eligibility. Family sponsorship is covered in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is ten years, renewable. Renewal commonly depends on still holding qualifying property of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K when the renewal is filed, so selling the Baystar by Vida apartment without a qualifying replacement removes the basis for the visa. The conditions for renewal are those in force at the time.

The purchase is first registered at the Dubai Land Department, as an Oqood during construction or a title deed after handover. The application then goes to the residency authorities with the ownership and value documents, followed by the medical fitness test and biometrics, and finally visa and Emirates ID issuance. Baystar by Vida buyers have two windows: during construction once the applicable paid-value conditions are met, or after the Q4 2029 handover on the title deed. Each step is set out in the Golden Visa application guide.

During construction, the value is shown by the purchase price registered with the Dubai Land Department on the unit's Oqood, supported by the sale and purchase agreement and the developer's statement of payments made. After handover in Q4 2029, the title deed carries the registered value. Eligibility is commonly assessed on that registered purchase value, so a one bedroom registered at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K sits above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Instalments on Baystar by Vida are paid into a DLD-registered escrow account, described on the Baystar by Vida escrow account page.

No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application. The service does not affect how the authorities assess the application.
