Eligibility Snapshot

Belmore Residences Golden Visa Facts

Belmore Residences is a 210-residence freehold apartment tower by Ellington in Meydan Horizon, entered on the Dubai Land Department register as project 4033 on 27 August 2025, with construction recorded as started on 7 August 2025. The RERA inspection report describes it as a residential and commercial building (B+G+5P+26F), and the register reading recorded on 6 August 2026 stood at 6.53%, with enabling, piling and foundation works progressing on site at that inspection. For residency planning the tower divides cleanly by bedroom count: 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K and 3 bedroom apartments at AED 3.30M ≈ USD 899K, both above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value the UAE Golden Visa route currently looks for, under whatever rules apply on the day you file, while the 1 bedroom, from AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K, sits below it. Handover is expected in Q4 2027, with 31 December 2027 shown as the registered completion date, and handover is the point at which the Oqood record gives way to a title deed.

Unit by Unit

Which Belmore Residences Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold

At Belmore Residences the Golden Visa decision and the floor-plan decision turn out to be the same decision. The threshold falls between the first and second bedroom count: the 1 bedroom, from AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K, sits AED 350K ≈ USD 95K short of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, while the 2 and 3 bedroom apartments clear it on their starting prices. A buyer who wants residency from this tower is, in practice, choosing between the two larger layouts.

Unit TypeSize RangeStarting PriceQualifies Alone
1 Bedroom Apartment754 to 849 sq ft (70 to 79 sq m)AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449KNo
2 Bedroom Apartment1,210 to 1,263 sq ft (112 to 117 sq m)AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781KYes
3 Bedroom Apartment1,526 to 1,527 sq ft (142 sq m)AED 3.30M ≈ USD 899KYes
The 2 and 3 Bedroom apartments clear AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on their starting prices alone; the 1 Bedroom does not.
!

Why this matters: the authorities look at the purchase value recorded with the DLD, so a 2 bedroom apartment bought at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K sits above the threshold from the day the contract is registered, well before handover. A 1 bedroom at AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K falls short on its own, and a resale unit bought for less than AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would fall short too, so check the registered contract figure for your own unit before you file.

Payment Plan and Timing

How the 70/30 Plan Shapes Golden Visa Timing at Belmore Residences

Belmore Residences sells on Ellington's 70/30 plan: 20% at booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), then 10%, 10%, 5% and 5% at 60, 120, 240 and 360 days after the reservation date, four 5% instalments on completion of 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% construction of the project, and 30% on completion. For an off-plan buyer, the file is commonly built on the Oqood registration that follows booking, plus evidence that the contract value qualifies and that any paid-amount condition set by the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities on the day you file has been met.

My read on the timing: this plan is front-loaded by the calendar, not by the site. The five reservation-date instalments add up to 50% of the price within 360 days of your own reservation, whatever the pace of construction, and at the register reading recorded on 6 August 2026 (6.53%) none of the four construction-linked instalments had yet been triggered. That gives buyers who want residency early, whether to relocate a family or to settle into the UAE banking system, a paid share that grows on a predictable timetable, and an application can go in during construction, backed by the Oqood record, as soon as whatever paid-amount condition is in force has been satisfied. Investors in no hurry tend to choose the cleaner route: pay the final 30% at handover, expected in Q4 2027, receive the title deed, and file on finished, registered ownership. Off-plan conditions are revised from time to time, so check the paid-amount rule that applies when you file, and confirm the current construction timetable with the developer in writing.

Insights

Project Insights for Belmore Residences Buyers

A Golden Visa purchase at Belmore Residences depends on more than which side of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line your apartment sits. At an early construction stage, buyers should follow the register readings that lead to the title deed and confirm that every instalment goes into the project escrow account. The guides below cover both.

FAQs

Belmore Residences Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions

The 2 bedroom apartments, from AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K, and the 3 bedroom apartments, from AED 3.30M ≈ USD 899K, start above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold on their own. The 1 bedroom apartments, from AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K, start below it and do not qualify alone. What counts is the registered value of your own unit, so check the contract figure before filing. The complete criteria sit in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Belmore Residences is freehold and open to all nationalities, and an off-plan purchase there is registered with the Dubai Land Department through Oqood after booking. An off-plan application is commonly built on that Oqood record together with evidence that the contract value qualifies and that any paid-amount condition in force when you file has been met. Buyers who would rather file on finished ownership can wait for the title deed issued at handover, expected in Q4 2027. Both routes are set out in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

Buyers pay 20% at booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, then 10%, 10%, 5% and 5% at 60, 120, 240 and 360 days after their reservation date, four 5% instalments on completion of 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% construction, and 30% on completion. The registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department and is not part of the qualifying purchase value. Because half of the price follows the reservation date rather than the site, the paid share builds on a known timetable; at the register reading of 6.53% recorded on 6 August 2026, none of the construction-linked instalments had been triggered. An application during construction can be considered once the paid-value conditions in force at that time are met.

A mortgage does not by itself rule out an application, but the conditions applied to mortgaged property are set by the authorities and updated from time to time, so confirm the current rules and the lender's own requirements before relying on finance. Under the Belmore Residences 70/30 plan, 70% of the price falls due before completion, so financing questions are best settled before reserving a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered value rather than on the full price, under the conditions in force at the time of application. At current starting prices, an equal two-way split of a 3 bedroom apartment from AED 3.30M ≈ USD 899K gives each owner a share of AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K, so confirm how the authorities would treat your specific ownership split, including any arrangement between spouses, before buying jointly.

The property route commonly allows the main holder to sponsor a spouse and children under the family-sponsorship rules in force at the time of application. At Belmore Residences the deciding factor is the sponsoring owner's own eligibility: at current starting prices that points to a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment, because the 1 bedroom starts below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal commonly depends on still holding qualifying property at that point, so selling the apartment would affect it, and the conditions applied are the ones in force at renewal rather than at purchase.

No. Buyers who purchase through this advisory receive the VIP application service, from document preparation and submission to status follow-up, without a service charge. The official government fees published by the issuing authorities still apply.

No. A purchase above the threshold makes you eligible to apply, but approval rests with the UAE residency authorities, including the ICP, and depends on meeting every requirement in force when the file is submitted, including checks on the ownership record and on the applicant. Progress toward the title deed is tracked on the Belmore Residences construction updates page.
