Cove Edition 5 by Imtiaz Golden Visa

None at current starting prices. Studio apartments start from AED 600K ≈ USD 163K, 1 bedroom apartments from AED 938K ≈ USD 255K and 2 bedroom apartments from AED 1.85M ≈ USD 504K, so every tier sits below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value; the 2 bedroom comes closest at AED 150K ≈ USD 41K below. The test applies to the registered purchase value of the specific unit under the rules in force at the time of application, set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

No. The 4% DLD registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department at booking, on top of the purchase price, and it is not part of the property value assessed for the Golden Visa. At Cove Edition 5 the assessment looks at the registered purchase value of the apartment itself, so adding the fee to a 2 bedroom priced from AED 1.85M ≈ USD 504K does not close the gap to the threshold.

Some investors look at combining more than one property to reach the minimum property value, but whether combined holdings are accepted, and the conditions attached to each property, are set by the regulations in force at the time of application and are updated from time to time. A Cove Edition 5 apartment counts only at its registered purchase value, and every tier starts below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own, so the current criteria should be confirmed before any purchase is planned around this route.

Booking leads to Oqood registration of the off-plan sale contract with the Dubai Land Department, and the title deed follows at handover, which Imtiaz estimates for Q2 2027; the DLD register records a completion date of 20-05-2027. Off-plan Golden Visa files commonly rest on the Oqood-registered contract together with any paid-value condition applied at the time, while a file after handover rests on the title deed. The difference between the two is explained in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

Option 1 (50/50) is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, six 5% instalments dated 15 August 2025 to 15 February 2027, and 50% on completion (Q2 2027). Option 2 (70/30) is 20% on booking, then 5%, 5%, 10%, 10% and 5% dated 15 August 2025 to 15 October 2026, 15% on completion (Q2 2027) and 30% over three years after handover. Where an off-plan application is relevant, the share paid matters because paid-value conditions are commonly applied; by 15 October 2026 the dated shares totalled 45% under Option 1 and 55% under Option 2. Neither plan changes the fact that no single apartment here reaches the threshold at current starting prices.

A mortgage does not change the starting point: eligibility is assessed against the registered property value, and no Cove Edition 5 apartment reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K at current starting prices. Where mortgaged property forms part of an application, the authorities apply specific conditions that are updated from time to time, so the treatment of a financed purchase should be confirmed against the rules in force at the time of application.

Joint ownership is assessed under the conditions in force at the time of application, which commonly look at each owner's share of the registered value rather than the full price. Because every Cove Edition 5 tier already starts below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, a share in a single apartment here sits further below the minimum than the whole unit does.

Paying in full raises the share of the price already settled, but it does not change the registered purchase value, which is the figure measured against the minimum property value. Every Cove Edition 5 tier starts below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, so settling a studio, 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom apartment early does not bring a single unit to the threshold. Where a buyer's overall position does meet the requirements, a higher paid share can matter for the paid-value conditions commonly applied to Oqood-registered off-plan property, but those conditions are set by the rules in force at the time of application and are updated from time to time.

Under the program's current terms, a property Golden Visa is issued for 10 years and is renewable while the qualifying conditions continue to be met, and holders can generally sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the rules in force at the time of application. For a Cove Edition 5 buyer this only becomes relevant once the overall property position meets the minimum value, since no single apartment here reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K at current starting prices. Full coverage is in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

No. Buyers who purchase through this advisory and meet the eligibility conditions in force when they apply receive the VIP application service, from preparing the documents to submitting the file and following its status, free of any service charge. The only costs are the official government fees set by the issuing authorities at the time of application.

No. No single Cove Edition 5 apartment reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum at current starting prices, and even where a buyer's overall position meets the criteria, approval rests on every requirement applied when the application is made, including checks on ownership and standard security screening. The building's DLD register record, last read at 26.32% on 18-08-2026, is tracked on the Cove Edition 5 construction updates page.
