Eligibility Snapshot
Cotier House 2 Golden Visa Facts
Cotier House 2 is a 128-residence freehold building by Imtiaz Developments on Island A of Dubai Islands. The Dubai Land Department project register lists it as project number 3671, registered on 24 April 2025 with construction started on 15 April 2025, and shows 16.06% progress at its 20 July 2026 reading. For residency planning, the number that matters sits at the bottom of the price list: the 1 bedroom apartment starts at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K, already above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value that the UAE Golden Visa program sets for investors, subject to the rules in force on the day you file. Entry layouts in many Dubai apartment buildings fall short of that line; here the entry layout is itself a qualifying purchase, and the four larger layouts clear it by a much wider margin. The Oqood registered at booking gives way to a title deed once the building completes, with handover expected in Q2 2027.

Unit by Unit
Which Cotier House 2 Layouts Meet the AED 2M Threshold
A building that mixes compact apartments with townhouses and duplexes usually ends up with a price list split across the Golden Visa line. Cotier House 2 does not split. All five priced layouts, from the 1 bedroom apartment to the 3 bedroom duplex, start above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on their own. What differs is the margin: the 1 bedroom clears the threshold by AED 0.10M ≈ USD 27K at its starting price, while the three 3 bedroom layouts sit millions of dirhams above it, so the smallest unit is the one where the exact contract value deserves a second look.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | ≈ 813 sq ft (76 sq m) | AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | ≈ 1,260 sq ft (117 sq m) | AED 3.71M ≈ USD 1.01M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | ≈ 1,835 sq ft (170 sq m) | AED 5.70M ≈ USD 1.55M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Townhouse | ≈ 2,021 sq ft (188 sq m) | AED 6.20M ≈ USD 1.69M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Duplex | ≈ 2,045 sq ft (190 sq m) | AED 6.70M ≈ USD 1.82M | Yes |
| All five priced layouts at Cotier House 2 clear the threshold individually at their starting prices. | |||
Why the contract value matters: the authorities look at the registered purchase value, so a 1 bedroom apartment registered at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K counts as a qualifying purchase while the building is still under construction. A resale or secondary unit whose registered value falls under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line does not qualify by itself, and with the entry layout priced this close to the line, check the value on your own unit's SPA before planning an application.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Cotier House 2 Off-Plan Buyers Can Apply
Cotier House 2 was launched on a dated 60/40 plan: 20% on booking in March 2025 (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 5% on 15 June 2025, 5% on 15 October 2025, 10% on 15 January 2026, 10% on 15 May 2026 and 10% on 15 September 2026, with the remaining 40% due on completion in April 2027. Because the instalments follow the calendar rather than construction stages, buyers entering after launch settle the instalments already due at signing; confirm the current schedule with the developer. An off-plan file is typically built on the Oqood registration issued after booking, with evidence that both the contract value and the amount paid satisfy whatever conditions the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities apply on the day you submit.
My read on the timing: the dated schedule changes the usual off-plan arithmetic. On a milestone plan the paid share grows with the structure; here the launch schedule had called 50% of the price by the 20 July 2026 register reading, when construction stood at 16.06%, and 60% by the 15 September 2026 instalment. A buyer entering now therefore pays a large share at signing, which can bring a during-construction application forward, provided the paid-value conditions commonly applied at that point are met. The second window opens at the Q2 2027 handover: the 40% completion balance is paid in April 2027, the title deed replaces the Oqood, and the application rests on completed, registered ownership, which is the cleaner file for investors in no hurry. Off-plan requirements are updated from time to time, so check the current paid-value condition before you submit.
VIP processing, no service fee: buyers who purchase through me receive the complete application service free, covering document preparation, submission, and follow-up on the application's status. The service is free; government fees apply, at the official rates the issuing authorities publish.

Cotier House 2 Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
All five priced layouts at Cotier House 2 qualify. The 1 Bedroom Apartment starts at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K, the 2 Bedroom Apartment at AED 3.71M ≈ USD 1.01M, the 3 Bedroom Apartment at AED 5.70M ≈ USD 1.55M, the 3 Bedroom Townhouse at AED 6.20M ≈ USD 1.69M and the 3 Bedroom Duplex at AED 6.70M ≈ USD 1.82M, so each clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold individually at its starting price. Because the 1 bedroom sits closest to the line, confirm the registered contract value of the specific unit; a resale unit registered below the threshold would not qualify on its own. The complete eligibility criteria are set out in the UAE Golden Visa requirements guide.
Usually, yes, subject to the rules in force on the day of filing. Off-plan applications are commonly supported by the Oqood registration issued after booking, together with evidence that the contract value and the amount already paid meet the conditions the authorities apply at that time, and those paid-value conditions are updated from time to time. For a simpler file, waiting for the title deed issued at the Cotier House 2 handover, expected in Q2 2027, largely removes the paid-value question. The off-plan route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.
Cotier House 2 was launched with 20% on booking in March 2025 plus the 4% DLD registration fee, then 5% on 15 June 2025, 5% on 15 October 2025, 10% on 15 January 2026, 10% on 15 May 2026 and 10% on 15 September 2026, with 40% due on completion in April 2027. The fee is a registration charge paid on top of the price, so it does not add to the purchase value assessed for eligibility. Because the schedule runs on calendar dates, a buyer entering after launch settles the instalments already due at signing, which can bring the paid share within reach of commonly applied paid-value conditions early in the purchase; confirm the current schedule with the developer and the current conditions before applying.
Financing does not rule an application out on its own, but it adds conditions. For mortgaged property the authorities have commonly asked for a letter from the lending bank alongside the ownership record, and the treatment of the loan and of the amount paid is updated from time to time. At Cotier House 2 the 40% completion balance falls due in April 2027, so a buyer planning to finance that balance should confirm with the lender and the issuing authority how the loan will be assessed under the rules in force at the time of application.
Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each applicant's share of the registered value, with different treatment for spouses and close family in some cases, under the rules in force at the time of application. At Cotier House 2 starting prices, an equal two-way split keeps each share above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on the three 3 bedroom layouts: AED 2.85M ≈ USD 776K on the 3 Bedroom Apartment, AED 3.10M ≈ USD 844K on the 3 Bedroom Townhouse and AED 3.35M ≈ USD 912K on the 3 Bedroom Duplex. Confirm how the shares will be registered on the SPA before signing.
Under the program's current terms, a Golden Visa obtained through a qualifying Cotier House 2 purchase generally allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, and in some cases parents, subject to the conditions in force when each family application is filed. Every dependant goes through the standard residency steps, such as the medical fitness test and Emirates ID enrolment, and government fees apply per applicant. What family sponsorship covers is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal generally depends on still holding property that meets the qualifying value when the renewal is filed, so selling the Cotier House 2 residence, or reducing an ownership share below the threshold, may affect the visa. The conditions that apply are those in force at the time of renewal.
The purchase is registered first: an Oqood while Cotier House 2 is under construction, replaced by a title deed after the Q2 2027 handover. With that ownership record, the application is filed with the issuing authorities, followed by a medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics, and the visa is issued if the application is approved; processing times are set by the authorities at the time. The full sequence is in the how to apply for a UAE Golden Visa guide.
It is a long-term residence permit, not UAE citizenship or a passport. It does not change the purchase price or the Cotier House 2 payment schedule, does not exempt the holder or family members from government fees, and does not guarantee rental income or resale value, which depend on the property and the market; the investment case for the building is covered on the Cotier House 2 project page.
No. For buyers who purchase Cotier House 2 through Tohid Fetrat, the VIP application service (preparing the documents, submitting the file and tracking its status) is provided free of charge. The service is free; government fees apply, at the rates the issuing authorities set when the application is filed.
No. A qualifying Cotier House 2 purchase makes the buyer eligible to apply, but the decision rests with the issuing authorities and depends on every condition applied on the day of filing, such as verification of ownership and the standard security screening. Progress toward the title deed is tracked on the Cotier House 2 construction updates.
