Cove Edition by Imtiaz Golden Visa
Every Apartment Measured Against the AED 2M Line
No single apartment at Cove Edition reaches the Golden Visa property threshold of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K at current starting prices: the closest, a 2 bedroom from AED 1.20M ≈ USD 327K, falls AED 800K ≈ USD 218K short. See how each apartment type compares, what the two payment plans mean for timing, and what changes at the Q4 2026 handover.

Eligibility Snapshot
Cove Edition by Imtiaz Golden Visa Facts
Cove Edition by Imtiaz is a single 2B+G+13+R tower of 182 studio, one and two bedroom apartments in Dubai Land Residence Complex, entered in the Dubai Land Department register as project 3248 (listed there as Cove Edition Residence 1 By Imtiaz) on 16 September 2024, with construction recorded as starting on 25 August 2024. The register read 90.22% on 12 October 2026, and RERA's report of the same date records the structure works as completed, with internal works, the external envelope, internal finishes, MEP and external works progressing at different stages. For residency planning, price is the deciding number: starting prices run from AED 643K ≈ USD 175K for a studio to AED 1.20M ≈ USD 327K for a 2 bedroom, so no single apartment here reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold of the UAE Golden Visa program, judged under the rules in force when you apply. Handover is expected in Q4 2026. The register still lists 25 August 2026 as the registered completion date; that date has passed and can be revised by the regulator, so the handover timetable is worth confirming with Imtiaz in writing.

Unit by Unit
How Each Cove Edition Apartment Compares With the AED 2M Threshold
Cove Edition is priced for buyers who want a furnished Dubailand apartment from AED 643K ≈ USD 175K, not for buyers looking to secure residency through property. The table makes the gap plain: even the largest layout, the 2 bedroom at 1,154 sq ft (107 sq m), starts AED 800K ≈ USD 218K under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, and the studio and 1 bedroom sit further below it. If the visa is the reason you are buying, this is the number to resolve first.
| Unit Type | Size | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio Apartments | 422 sq ft (39 sq m) | AED 643K ≈ USD 175K | No |
| 1 Bedroom Apartments | 760 sq ft (71 sq m) | AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartments | 1,154 sq ft (107 sq m) | AED 1.20M ≈ USD 327K | No |
| No Cove Edition apartment type reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own at current starting prices. The closest, the 2 bedroom, is AED 800K ≈ USD 218K below. | |||
Why this matters: the property route looks at the value recorded for your purchase, and at Cove Edition that value starts below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K for every apartment type. Buying on the secondary market does not change that arithmetic for a single unit, so if residency is part of the plan, check your contract value against the rules in force before you sign, not after.
Payment Plan and Timing
Cove Edition Payment Plans and Golden Visa Timing
Cove Edition was released on two date-based plans. Option 1 (50/50): 20% on booking (August 2024) plus the 4% DLD registration fee, five dated instalments from 15 November 2024 to 15 February 2026 adding 30%, and 50% on completion in Q4 2026. Option 2 (3 years post handover): 20% on booking, dated instalments adding 35% over the same months, 15% on completion, and 30% at 2.5% quarterly across the three years after handover. Every dated instalment has now fallen due, so 50% under Option 1 or 55% under Option 2 is called before completion, against a register reading of 90.22% on 12 October 2026. Buyers entering now settle the instalments already due at signing, per the developer's current terms.
My read on the timing: for a property-based Golden Visa, a payment schedule only matters once the purchase value clears the threshold, and a single Cove Edition apartment does not. What the plan does decide is which document you hold and when. Until completion the purchase sits on Oqood registration; the title deed follows the Q4 2026 handover once the completion payment is made, 50% under Option 1 or 15% under Option 2, with Option 2's remaining 30% paid to the developer after handover under the SPA. Off-plan conditions are updated from time to time, so the ones that count are those in force on the day an application is filed.
VIP processing, zero service fee: when a buyer who purchases through me has a qualifying route, I prepare the documents, file the application and follow its status as a free service. Government fees apply, at the rates the issuing authorities publish.

With every apartment type below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, the Cove Edition decision rests on the tower itself: the register record leading to the Q4 2026 handover, the escrow arrangement that holds construction-period payments, and the inspection you run before accepting a furnished apartment.

Cove Edition by Imtiaz Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Because every starting price is set well under it. Studios at Cove Edition by Imtiaz start at AED 643K ≈ USD 175K, 1 bedroom apartments at AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K and 2 bedroom apartments at AED 1.20M ≈ USD 327K, while the property route of the UAE Golden Visa applies a minimum of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K under the rules in force when an application is filed. None of the three types reaches that figure as a single purchase. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.
The closest is the 2 bedroom apartment at Cove Edition by Imtiaz, starting at AED 1.20M ≈ USD 327K for 1,154 sq ft (107 sq m), which leaves it AED 800K ≈ USD 218K below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. The 1 bedroom, from AED 1.00M ≈ USD 272K, and the studio, from AED 643K ≈ USD 175K, sit further below it.
It shortens the gap between the two documents. A Cove Edition by Imtiaz purchase is recorded through Oqood registration until completion, and the title deed follows once the completion payment is made at handover, expected in Q4 2026. The Dubai Land Department register read 90.22% on 12 October 2026, and its registered completion date of 25 August 2026 has passed, so the handover timetable is worth confirming with Imtiaz in writing. Neither document lifts a single apartment to the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold; how Oqood and title deed files are treated is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.
Option 1 (50/50) at Cove Edition by Imtiaz is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, which is paid to the Dubai Land Department and does not count toward the property value assessed for the visa, then dated instalments adding 30% and 50% on completion in Q4 2026. Option 2 is 20% on booking, dated instalments adding 35%, 15% on completion and 30% at 2.5% quarterly over the three years after handover. Every dated instalment fell due by 15 February 2026. Either plan changes when the title deed is issued, not whether a single apartment reaches the threshold, because the purchase price sits below it under both.
No. Financing changes how a Cove Edition by Imtiaz purchase is paid for, not the price recorded for it, and every apartment type there starts below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, from AED 643K ≈ USD 175K to AED 1.20M ≈ USD 327K. How mortgaged property is treated for qualifying purchases, including any paid-equity condition, is set by the rules in force when an application is filed and is updated from time to time.
No. Joint ownership divides one recorded purchase price between the owners; it does not raise it. With the highest Cove Edition by Imtiaz starting price at AED 1.20M ≈ USD 327K, the whole unit is already below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, so no single owner's share can reach it. How shared ownership is assessed for qualifying purchases follows the rules applied on the day an application is filed.
Not on its own. Family sponsorship is a benefit attached to a Golden Visa that has already been issued, and a single Cove Edition by Imtiaz apartment, at starting prices from AED 643K ≈ USD 175K to AED 1.20M ≈ USD 327K, does not reach the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold that a property-based application rests on. What the visa allows for dependants is covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.
The program's current term is 10 years, renewable while the holder keeps meeting the criteria applied at renewal. A Cove Edition by Imtiaz apartment on its own would not support a first application or a renewal through the property route, because its starting price, at most AED 1.20M ≈ USD 327K for a 2 bedroom, is below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K.
Property is one of several qualifying investment types in the UAE Golden Visa program, and the others, with the full eligibility criteria, are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide. A single Cove Edition by Imtiaz apartment does not qualify through the property route at current starting prices, and whether a buyer's wider circumstances can be taken into account is decided by the authorities under the rules in force when an application is filed.
No service fee is charged. For Cove Edition by Imtiaz buyers who purchase through this advisory and hold a qualifying route, the VIP service handles the paperwork, the submission and the follow-up on status free of charge; government fees apply, at the rates the issuing authorities publish when the application is made. A single Cove Edition apartment does not by itself reach the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold.
Approval is decided by the issuing authorities against every condition applied when the application is filed, including verification of ownership and standard background checks, so no purchase secures a visa by itself. At Cove Edition by Imtiaz the property value is the first hurdle, since every apartment type starts below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Progress toward the Q4 2026 handover is tracked on the Cove Edition by Imtiaz construction updates page.
