Como Residences Golden Visa
Residency Anchored in a Single Palm Jumeirah Residence
Every priced residence at Como Residences starts at AED 27.00M ≈ USD 7.35M or more, far beyond the Golden Visa property threshold of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Here is how each unit type measures up, what the launch payment schedule means for application timing, and what an off-plan buyer needs in place before the Q3 2027 handover.

Eligibility Snapshot
Como Residences Golden Visa Facts
Como Residences is an 81-residence freehold tower by Nakheel on Palm Jumeirah, given project number 2565 when it was registered on 12-04-2023, with construction under way since 27-09-2023 and a reading of 20.88% recorded in the Dubai Land Department project register on 06-07-2026. For a residency file, the number that settles the question is the entry price: the 3 Bedroom Apartments open the current list at AED 27.00M ≈ USD 7.35M, more than thirteen times the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value the UAE Golden Visa program looks for under the regulations in force at the time of application. At this level the threshold stops being a planning constraint, and what is left to decide is timing, ownership structure and family cover. Nakheel expects handover in Q3 2027, when the Oqood registration gives way to a title deed; the register separately shows a registered completion date of 27-03-2027.

Unit by Unit
Which Como Residences Unit Types Clear the AED 2M Threshold
On most Dubai shortlists the Golden Visa question is whether a unit reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K at all. Como Residences sits at the far end of that scale: the lowest listed tier starts more than thirteen times above the line, so residency eligibility does not separate one layout from another. In the current list the 3 Bedroom Apartments are priced below the 2 Bedroom Apartments, which is why the 3 bedroom tier sets the entry point. What really divides the options is size, view and terrace configuration, which turns the decision into one about how you want to live rather than whether you qualify.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 4,470 - 5,231 sq ft (415 - 486 sq m) | AED 28.50M ≈ USD 7.76M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 5,411 - 9,490 sq ft (503 - 881 sq m) | AED 27.00M ≈ USD 7.35M | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 6,533 - 11,493 sq ft (607 - 1,068 sq m) | AED 49.90M ≈ USD 13.59M | Yes |
| 5 Bedroom Apartments | ≈ 7,707 - 16,192 sq ft (716 - 1,504 sq m) | AED 71.24M ≈ USD 19.40M | Yes |
| 5 Bedroom Penthouse | ≈ 21,949 sq ft (2,039 sq m) | Price on request | Yes |
| 7 Bedroom Duplex | ≈ 18,912 - 18,972 sq ft (1,757 - 1,763 sq m) | AED 155.00M ≈ USD 42.20M | Yes |
| Each priced unit type at Como Residences clears the threshold individually; the 5 Bedroom Penthouse is assessed on its confirmed price. | |||
Why this matters: residency is assessed against the purchase value registered with the Dubai Land Department, so the figure in your Sales and Purchase Agreement, not a brochure or list price, is the one that counts. At every listed Como Residences price that registered value sits far above the line. The check still matters on a resale, where a value registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not meet the threshold, so look at the value on your own contract before you apply.
Payment Plan and Timing
Application Timing on a Como Residences Off-Plan Purchase
Nakheel launched Como Residences on an 80/20 schedule: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD fee), six instalments of 10% dated every six months from 30-OCT-2023 to 30-APR-2026, and the final 20% on handover, expected in Q3 2027. Every dated instalment on that launch schedule has now passed, so it stands as the schedule of record rather than a live offer; terms for a unit bought today are set in its own contract. An off-plan residency application generally rests on the Oqood registration Nakheel completes after booking, backed by evidence that the purchase reaches the qualifying value and satisfies whichever paid-value condition the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities are applying on the day the file goes in.
My read on the timing: at Como Residences the price is never the obstacle, so the real decision is when to file. A launch buyer who kept to the schedule had paid 80% of the price by 30-APR-2026, which puts most of the purchase value behind an Oqood-registered contract well before handover and makes an application during construction a realistic option once the current paid-value condition is confirmed. Anyone buying now agrees their own payment terms, and those terms decide how quickly the paid share reaches whatever condition applies. The alternative is to wait for the title deed after the expected Q3 2027 handover and file on completed, registered ownership, the simpler file for an investor in no hurry. Off-plan conditions are revised from time to time, so confirm the rule in force before you submit.

Como Residences Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Every priced unit type. The 3 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 27.00M ≈ USD 7.35M, the 2 Bedroom Apartments at AED 28.50M ≈ USD 7.76M, the 4 Bedroom Apartments at AED 49.90M ≈ USD 13.59M, the 5 Bedroom Apartments at AED 71.24M ≈ USD 19.40M and the 7 Bedroom Duplex at AED 155.00M ≈ USD 42.20M, each far above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value applied under the regulations in force at the time of application. The 5 Bedroom Penthouse is priced on request and is assessed on its confirmed price. The full eligibility criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.
The 5 Bedroom Penthouse, ≈ 21,949 sq ft (2,039 sq m), has no published price and is offered on request. Eligibility is judged on the purchase value registered with the Dubai Land Department, so the penthouse qualifies on the same basis as the priced unit types once its confirmed price is AED 2M ≈ USD 545K or more, subject to the rules in force when the application is filed.
Off-plan applications are generally possible once the purchase is registered through Oqood and the paid-value conditions applied at the time of application are met; those conditions are updated from time to time. The Dubai Land Department project register recorded Como Residences at 20.88% on 06-07-2026, and a buyer who prefers a file resting on completed ownership can wait for the title deed after handover, expected in Q3 2027. Both routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.
Nakheel launched Como Residences with 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, six instalments of 10% dated from 30-OCT-2023 to 30-APR-2026, and 20% on handover, expected in Q3 2027. Every dated instalment has passed, so a launch buyer who paid to schedule has 80% of the price paid ahead of handover, which puts an application during construction within reach once the paid-value condition in force is confirmed. A buyer entering today agrees their own terms, and those terms decide when the paid share is reached. Progress toward handover is tracked on the Como Residences construction updates page.
Mortgaged property has commonly been accepted for the property route, typically with a no-objection letter from the lending bank and conditions on the amount already paid. The treatment of financed purchases, and of off-plan units still under construction in particular, is set by the issuing authorities and changes from time to time, so the current rule on financed and off-plan property should be confirmed before a Como Residences mortgage is relied on for the application.
Joint ownership has commonly been assessed share by share, with each applicant's own share needing to reach the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, although the rules for co-owners, including spouses, are set by the issuing authorities and applied as they stand when the application is filed. As simple arithmetic only, an equal split of a 3 Bedroom Apartment at its AED 27.00M ≈ USD 7.35M starting price would put each of two shares at AED 13.50M ≈ USD 3.68M; the ownership shares registered with the Dubai Land Department decide the actual position.
Family sponsorship is part of the property-based Golden Visa: a qualifying owner can generally sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the eligibility, age and document rules the issuing authorities apply when the application is filed. The current position on who may be sponsored is covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.
The program's current term is ten years, renewable. Renewal generally depends on still holding property that meets the threshold under the rules in force at the time of renewal, so selling the Como Residences unit that supports the visa affects it. Any sale is best timed with the visa position in view rather than checked afterwards.
It is a long-term residence visa, not citizenship or a UAE passport, and it depends on continuing to hold qualifying property. Buying at Como Residences makes you eligible to apply, not entitled to approval: the issuing authorities decide each application on its own merits, including ownership verification and the standard medical and security checks.
No. The VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission and status follow-up, is provided free to buyers who purchase through this advisory. Official government fees remain payable, at the rates the issuing authorities publish when the application is made.
In outline: the purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department (Oqood during construction, title deed after handover), the property is checked against the value threshold, the residency application is filed with the ownership documents, and a medical test, biometrics and Emirates ID issuance follow. The sequence, documents and issuing authority can change, so the current order is set out in the how to apply for the UAE Golden Visa guide.
