Cove Edition 3 by Imtiaz Golden Visa

At current starting prices, none of the three apartment types at Cove Edition 3 by Imtiaz reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold of the UAE Golden Visa on its own. Studio apartments start from AED 630K ≈ USD 172K, 1 bedroom apartments from AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K and 2 bedroom apartments from AED 1.47M ≈ USD 402K, so the closest type, the 2 bedroom, sits AED 530K ≈ USD 144K below the line. The complete eligibility criteria sit in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

No. The property route assesses the registered purchase value of a unit, and paying more of the price early does not raise that value. A fully paid Cove Edition 3 2 bedroom apartment bought at AED 1.47M ≈ USD 402K remains below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Paid-value conditions for off-plan property are commonly applied on top of the value test rather than instead of it, and they are updated from time to time.

Both plans open with 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, which is paid to the Dubai Land Department and does not count toward the Golden Visa threshold. Option 1 (50/50) calls 30% in dated instalments between 15 March 2025 and 15 June 2026 and 50% on completion; Option 2 (70/30) calls 35% over the same dates, 15% on completion and 30% after handover at 2.5% per quarter over three years. Every dated instalment fell due by 15 June 2026. Because no single Cove Edition 3 apartment reaches the threshold at current starting prices, the choice of plan shapes cash flow rather than visa eligibility.

It changes the paperwork, not the eligibility. An off-plan buyer at Cove Edition 3 holds an Oqood registration with the Dubai Land Department from booking, and the title deed is issued after completion; handover is scheduled for Q4 2026, and the DLD project register records a registered completion date of 25-12-2026. Both documents record the same purchase value, so neither lifts an apartment priced below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K over the threshold. Buyers should confirm the current handover timetable in writing with the developer. The off-plan process is explained in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

No. Cove Edition 3 is freehold and open to all nationalities, and an apartment can be registered in more than one name, but sharing the title does not raise the value of the unit. With the highest starting price at AED 1.47M ≈ USD 402K for a 2 bedroom apartment, a jointly owned unit stays below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and the way each owner's share is assessed is set by the regulations in force at the time of application.

No. A mortgage changes how the price is financed, not the registered value of the apartment, so it cannot bring a Cove Edition 3 unit up to AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. How mortgaged property above the threshold is treated in an application is set by the rules in force at the time, summarised in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Not through a Cove Edition 3 apartment alone at current starting prices. Family sponsorship is a benefit attached to a Golden Visa once it has been granted, and the property route currently offers its 10-year renewable residency only to investments that meet the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold under the regulations in force at application. What the visa covers for spouses and children is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

No. Buyers who purchase through this advisory and later apply for a Golden Visa on the strength of property they hold receive the VIP application service, meaning document preparation, submission and status tracking, without a service fee. The official government fees still apply, at the rates the issuing authorities publish when the application is filed. A Cove Edition 3 apartment alone does not reach the property threshold at current starting prices.

No. At current starting prices no single Cove Edition 3 apartment reaches the property threshold of the Golden Visa, and any visa application is decided against the requirements in force when it is made, including ownership verification and standard background checks. The building's progress on the DLD project register is tracked on the Cove Edition 3 construction updates page.
