Cotier House Golden Visa

All five published tiers. 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.40M ≈ USD 653K, 2 bedroom apartments at AED 3.40M ≈ USD 926K, 3 bedroom apartments at AED 5.70M ≈ USD 1.55M, 3 bedroom townhouses at AED 6.20M ≈ USD 1.69M and duplexes at AED 6.70M ≈ USD 1.82M, so each clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value threshold without combining properties, subject to the rules in force at the time of application. The figure that counts is the registered contract value of the specific unit. The full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Off-plan applications are commonly supported by the Oqood registration of the purchase, together with proof that the contract value meets the threshold and that any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application are satisfied. Those conditions are updated from time to time, so they are checked before submission. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed issued after handover, expected in Q1 2027. The route is set out in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The launch schedule called for 60% before completion, from 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee through dated instalments ending on 15 July 2026, and 40% on completion in Q1 2027. Every dated instalment has already fallen due, so a buyer signing today typically settles those instalments on signing, with the exact split confirmed by the developer. That front-loads the amount paid, so the paid-value conditions commonly applied to off-plan applications tend to be reached at the start of ownership rather than built up over the construction period.

No. The 4% DLD registration fee is a government charge paid on top of the purchase price, and the threshold is measured against the property value itself. At Cotier House every tier already starts above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K before the fee is added, beginning with 1 bedroom apartments at AED 2.40M ≈ USD 653K, so the fee does not decide eligibility on a purchase at the published prices.

Jointly owned property is commonly assessed on each owner's registered share, so each applicant's share generally needs to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own, and spouses may be treated differently under the rules in force at the time of application. On an equal two-way split, only a unit priced at AED 4M ≈ USD 1.09M or more gives each owner a share above the line. At Cotier House that covers the 3 bedroom apartments, 3 bedroom townhouses and duplexes, while the 1 and 2 bedroom apartments fall short per owner, so the ownership structure is best settled before the purchase is registered.

Mortgaged property is commonly accepted for the property route when the loan is with a UAE bank that issues a no-objection letter, subject to the value and paid-amount conditions in force at the time of application. At Cotier House the pre-completion share is typically paid in instalments under the developer's schedule, so any mortgage would usually fund the 40% due on completion in Q1 2027 rather than the booking payment.

The UAE Golden Visa is currently issued for 10 years and is renewable, and holders are commonly able to sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the sponsorship rules in force at the time of application. Eligibility rests on the property, so one qualifying Cotier House residence registered to the main applicant is the starting point for the family file. What the visa covers is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

It depends on the registered price of that transaction. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a resale unit bought at or above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K can qualify alone, while a resale unit registered below that line would not. With one unit remaining from the developer at the time of writing, resale is likely to be the main way into Cotier House, which makes the registered value of each individual deal the number to verify.

Oqood is the Dubai Land Department registration of an off-plan purchase, and it is the ownership record for Cotier House buyers until the building is complete. After handover, expected in Q1 2027, the purchase converts to a title deed. Cotier House is freehold and open to all nationalities, so both records register the buyer's ownership with the DLD: applications made during construction rest on the Oqood and any applicable paid-value conditions, while applications made after handover rest on the title deed.

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.

No. A qualifying purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on meeting every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. The application steps are described in the how to apply for a UAE Golden Visa guide, and progress toward handover is recorded on the Cotier House construction updates page.
