Cove Edition 2 by Imtiaz Golden Visa
An Honest Read on Apartments Priced Below the AED 2M Line

See how far each type sits from the line, how the two payment plans and the expected Q4 2026 handover shape ownership timing, and what that means for a residency plan.

Eligibility Snapshot
Cove Edition 2 by Imtiaz Golden Visa Facts
Cove Edition 2 by Imtiaz is a single freehold residential building of 260 studio, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments in Dubai Land Residence Complex, Dubailand, which Imtiaz describes as fully furnished. The Dubai Land Department lists it as project number 3286, registered on 25 October 2024 with construction started on 15 October 2024, and its project register read 60.08% on 20 October 2026; the RERA inspection report of that date records enabling, foundation and structure works as completed, with internal works, MEP, internal finishes and the external envelope progressing. For residency planning the decisive number is price, not progress: the range runs from AED 625K ≈ USD 170K for a studio to AED 1.448M ≈ USD 394K for a 2 bedroom, so none of the three types reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment minimum that the UAE Golden Visa program sets, under the regulations in force at the time of application. Handover is expected in Q4 2026, the point at which Oqood registration gives way to a title deed.

How Cove Edition 2 Apartments Measure Against the AED 2M Threshold
Cove Edition 2 is priced as an entry point to furnished apartment ownership in Dubailand, and that pricing is exactly why the Golden Visa arithmetic does not work on a single unit here. The gap narrows as the layouts grow, yet even the 2 bedroom falls AED 552K ≈ USD 150K short of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line. Buyers who need residency through property should read this table as a clear no for one apartment, and judge Cove Edition 2 on what it offers as a home or a long-term holding instead.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio Apartment | 383 to 530 sq ft (36 to 49 sq m) | AED 625K ≈ USD 170K | No |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 742 to 1,017 sq ft (69 to 94 sq m) | AED 900K ≈ USD 245K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,165 sq ft (108 sq m) | AED 1.448M ≈ USD 394K | No |
| No apartment type at Cove Edition 2 qualifies on its own at current prices. The closest, the 2 bedroom, sits AED 552K ≈ USD 150K below the threshold. | |||
Why this matters: the authorities look at the registered purchase value, which means the figure that counts is the contract price of your specific apartment, not the project's starting price. At today's prices every Cove Edition 2 apartment registers below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and a resale unit bought at a comparable price sits in the same position, so buyers who need the visa should settle the threshold question before committing, not after.
Payment Plan and Timing
Cove Edition 2 Payment Timing, Oqood and the Title Deed
The developer's launch plans, with booking in October 2024, come in two forms. Option 1, the 50/50 plan, takes 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), five dated instalments from 15 February 2025 to 15 June 2026 adding a further 30%, and 50% on completion. Option 2, which Imtiaz calls the 5 Years Payment Plan, keeps the same booking step and dates but takes 10% rather than 5% in March 2026, so 55% is paid before completion, then 15% on completion and 30% after handover at 2.5% a quarter over three years. Every dated instalment had fallen due by 15 June 2026, so at the 20 October 2026 register reading of 60.08% the construction-period share had been called in full on both plans; the completion share falls due at completion, on a date to be confirmed by Imtiaz.
My read on what this means for residency: where a unit clears the threshold, the payment plan usually decides when an Oqood-backed application becomes practical under the paid-value conditions commonly applied. At Cove Edition 2 no apartment clears it on price, so the plan opens no application window by itself; its real relevance is ownership timing. Until handover your apartment sits on the Oqood register, and the title deed follows at handover, expected in Q4 2026. The registered completion date of 15 October 2026 has passed while the register showed 60.08% on 20 October 2026, so ask Imtiaz for the current completion timetable in writing. Option 2 buyers should also budget for 30% of the price still being paid for three years after handover. Requirements for property-based applications are updated from time to time, so confirm the conditions in force before relying on any timeline.
VIP processing, no service fee: for my buyers whose purchase meets the requirements in force at the time of application, the complete application service, from document preparation to submission and status follow-up, is free. The service costs nothing; the government fees set by the issuing authorities still apply.
The Project
Furnished Apartments Bought on Their Own Merits
A Cove Edition 2 apartment will not carry a Golden Visa on its own, so the purchase has to make sense as a home or a holding first. The full project guide sets out layouts, current prices, the rooftop amenities and both payment plans in detail.

Cove Edition 2 Buyer Resources Beyond the Visa Question
Whether or not residency is part of the plan, a Cove Edition 2 purchase rests on the same three checks: how the building is progressing against the register, where your instalments are held, and what to inspect before accepting a furnished apartment.

Cove Edition 2 by Imtiaz Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Every type falls short at current prices. A studio from AED 625K ≈ USD 170K sits AED 1.375M ≈ USD 374K below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold, a 1 bedroom from AED 900K ≈ USD 245K sits AED 1.10M ≈ USD 300K below it, and a 2 bedroom from AED 1.448M ≈ USD 394K sits AED 552K ≈ USD 150K below it. The full eligibility criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
The figure assessed is the registered purchase value of the specific unit, as recorded with the Dubai Land Department, under the rules in force at the time of application. The project's starting price is only a guide; the contract value of the apartment actually bought is what counts. At current prices a single studio, 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom at Cove Edition 2 registers below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and a resale unit bought at a similar price would be in the same position. Current prices for each type are listed in the Cove Edition 2 by Imtiaz project guide.
No. The 4% DLD registration fee is a government charge paid to the Dubai Land Department at booking, on top of the apartment price. The value considered for the program is the registered purchase price itself, so a 2 bedroom registered at AED 1.448M ≈ USD 394K stays at that value for eligibility purposes whether or not the fee is added.
Oqood is the Dubai Land Department's interim register for off-plan sales, recording the purchase while the building is under construction. The title deed replaces it at handover, which for Cove Edition 2 is expected in Q4 2026. The registered completion date of 15 October 2026 has passed while the register showed 60.08% on 20 October 2026, so the timing of the title deed follows the completion timetable, which buyers should request from Imtiaz in writing. Progress is tracked on the Cove Edition 2 construction updates page.
Every dated instalment on both developer plans fell due by 15 June 2026: 50% of the price before completion on the 50/50 plan and 55% on the 5 Years Payment Plan, with the balance due on completion and, on the second plan, 30% spread over three years after handover. Paid-value conditions for off-plan applications are commonly applied and updated from time to time, but they only become relevant once a property reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K value, and no single Cove Edition 2 apartment does at current prices.
Whether a mortgaged property can support an application, and on what terms, depends on the conditions in force at the time of application. Financing does not change the property value assessed: a Cove Edition 2 apartment is measured against AED 2M ≈ USD 545K whether it is bought with a mortgage or in cash, and every type in the building is below that figure at current prices.
Joint ownership cannot raise the value counted above the apartment's registered purchase value, and how that value is divided between co-owners for eligibility follows the rules in force at the time of application. Because even a 2 bedroom at AED 1.448M ≈ USD 394K is below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K as a whole, co-owning a single Cove Edition 2 apartment does not create eligibility for either owner.
Family sponsorship is a benefit of holding a Golden Visa, so it depends on the main applicant qualifying first. A single Cove Edition 2 apartment does not reach the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold at current prices, so it cannot by itself be the basis for sponsoring a spouse, children or other dependants. The Golden Visa benefits guide explains who may be sponsored under the rules in force.
The program's current term is 10 years, renewable, and renewal depends on still meeting the requirements in force at that time, including holding qualifying property where the visa rests on real estate. A Cove Edition 2 apartment is below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold at current prices, so on its own it would not support either a first application or a renewal on the property route.
Property is one of several qualifying categories in the UAE Golden Visa program; the other categories are defined by the authorities, updated from time to time, and set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide. On the property route itself, no single apartment at Cove Edition 2 reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K at current prices, so this purchase does not by itself provide a route to the visa.
No service fee is charged by this advisory. For buyers who purchase through it and meet the requirements in force at the time of application, the VIP application service, which handles document preparation, submission and status follow-up, is free. Government fees still apply at the rates set by the issuing authorities.
No. At current prices no single apartment at Cove Edition 2 reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold, and even where a property does qualify, buying it only makes the owner eligible to apply: approval depends on meeting every requirement in force when the application is made, including verification of ownership and the usual background checks. Each stage of the process is covered in the guide to applying for the UAE Golden Visa.
