Cove Boulevard by Imtiaz Golden Visa

At Cove Boulevard, only the 3 Bedroom Apartments. They start at AED 2.13M ≈ USD 581K, above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value used for the UAE Golden Visa, while the Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedroom Apartments and the Offices all start below it. Clearing the threshold on price does not settle the outcome: eligibility is assessed on the property value recorded on the title deed or in the Dubai Land Department register at the time of application. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

At Cove Boulevard, each of these unit types starts below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K at current prices: studios from AED 718K ≈ USD 196K, 1 bedroom apartments from AED 1.29M ≈ USD 352K, 2 bedroom apartments from AED 1.87M ≈ USD 508K and offices from AED 1.89M ≈ USD 514K. The 2 bedroom apartments and the offices come closest, yet a purchase recorded under the threshold does not pass the property route's value test by itself, so on today's price list the 3 bedroom layout is the only single unit in the tower that reaches it.

Off-plan applications are commonly accepted on the strength of the Oqood-registered sale contract, as long as the recorded price clears the threshold and the amount already paid satisfies whichever paid-value rule the authorities apply on the day of filing; those rules are updated from time to time. Cove Boulevard is freehold and open to all nationalities, and ownership is registered with the Dubai Land Department, first as Oqood and then as a title deed at handover, expected in Q2 2028. Buyers who prefer a file built on completed ownership can wait for the title deed. The off-plan property Golden Visa guide explains both routes.

The 60/40 plan is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, seven dated instalments that bring the total to 60% by 15 October 2027, and 40% on completion in Q2 2028. Because the dates are fixed, 45% of the price had fallen due by the register reading of 30 September 2026 and the next 5% falls on 15 November 2026, so the share a buyer has paid depends on the purchase date rather than on construction progress. The registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the price and does not form part of the property value. Whether the share paid satisfies a paid-value condition is judged against the rules in force when the application is filed.

Financing does not automatically rule a property out, but financed purchases are assessed under conditions set by the authorities and updated from time to time, commonly including a no-objection letter from the lending bank and rules on how much of the value must already be paid. The 3 bedroom apartments at Cove Boulevard are sold off-plan on a dated developer plan, so buyers who intend to finance part of the price, such as the 40% completion payment, should confirm how a mortgaged balance is treated under the requirements in force when they apply.

Joint ownership is assessed under the rules in force at the time of application, and the share held by each applicant commonly needs to meet the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K value on its own. A 3 bedroom apartment at AED 2.13M ≈ USD 581K split equally gives each owner about AED 1.07M ≈ USD 290K, so co-owners should confirm how their ownership shares will be treated, including any provision for spouses, before structuring the purchase.

The property route commonly allows the main holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with conditions on relationship, age and documents set by the authorities and applied as they stand at the time of application. Sponsorship follows from the holder's own visa, so it depends first on the Cove Boulevard purchase meeting the threshold, which on current prices means a 3 bedroom apartment. The Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide covers dependants in detail.

The program currently issues the Golden Visa for 10 years, renewable. Renewal is commonly linked to still holding qualifying property when the term ends, assessed under the rules in force at that point, so selling the Cove Boulevard apartment, or replacing it with property recorded below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, can affect whether the visa is renewed.

No service fee applies for Cove Boulevard buyers who purchase through this advisory. The VIP service that prepares, submits and tracks the application is free; government fees apply, at the rates the issuing authorities set when the file is lodged, and the free service has no bearing on whether an application is approved.

No. A purchase priced above the threshold makes a buyer eligible to apply, not entitled to approval; the decision rests with the authorities, who check ownership, the recorded property value and standard background requirements under the rules in force at the time of application. Progress toward the Q2 2028 handover and title deed is tracked on the Cove Boulevard construction updates page.
