Eligibility Snapshot

DAMAC Casa Golden Visa Facts

DAMAC Casa is a 403-residence freehold apartment tower by DAMAC Properties in Al Sufouh, beside Dubai Media City, entered in the Dubai Land Department register as project 2801 on 20 October 2023, with construction started on 26 December 2023 and a reading of 33.55% recorded in the Dubai Land Department project register on 18 August 2026. For a residency file, the figure that matters is where the price ladder begins: the entry 1 Bedroom Luxury apartment is listed from AED 2.48M ≈ USD 675K, already above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum used for the property route to the UAE Golden Visa, under the rules in force at the time you file. Every larger layout, up to the 5 Bedroom Super Luxury residences, sits higher again, so the qualifying question here is settled by the tower's pricing rather than by the unit you pick. Handover is expected in Q2 2028, when the Oqood registration is replaced by a title deed.

Unit by Unit

Which DAMAC Casa Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold

When a tower's smallest layouts are priced close to the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K mark, the Golden Visa question has to be answered unit by unit. DAMAC Casa does not work that way. Its entry 1 Bedroom Luxury apartment starts at AED 2.48M ≈ USD 675K, and the ladder climbs from there through the Luxury tier to the 4 and 5 Bedroom Super Luxury residences, so each of the five tiers below reaches the threshold on its own. For a residency buyer the decision becomes one of space, floor and budget, not of whether the purchase counts.

Unit TypeSizeStarting PriceQualifies Alone
1 Bedroom Luxury Apartments≈ 798 sq ft (74 sq m)AED 2.48M ≈ USD 675KYes
2 Bedroom Luxury Apartments≈ 1,367 sq ft (127 sq m)AED 3.62M ≈ USD 986KYes
3 Bedroom Luxury Apartments≈ 2,003 sq ft (186 sq m)AED 5.11M ≈ USD 1.39MYes
4 Bedroom Super Luxury Apartments≈ 4,778 sq ft (444 sq m)AED 17.91M ≈ USD 4.88MYes
5 Bedroom Super Luxury Apartments≈ 5,940 sq ft (552 sq m)AED 23.61M ≈ USD 6.43MYes
All five current DAMAC Casa tiers qualify individually, from the 1 Bedroom Luxury Apartment upward.

Why this matters: the assessment is made on the registered purchase value of your own unit, so a 1 Bedroom Luxury apartment contracted at AED 2.48M ≈ USD 675K keeps the file above the threshold during construction as well as after handover. A resale DAMAC Casa unit bought for less than AED 2M ≈ USD 545K cannot support an application by itself, so check the contract value of the specific unit before you apply.

Payment Plan and Timing

When Off-Plan Buyers at DAMAC Casa Can Apply

DAMAC Casa is sold on a time-based 80/20 plan counted from the sale date: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 16 instalments of 3.75% each falling due within 3 to 48 months of the sale date, and 20% on completion. For an off-plan buyer, the application normally rests on the Oqood contract that the Dubai Land Department registers after booking, supported by evidence that the price and the amount already paid satisfy whatever conditions the residency authorities apply on the day you file.

My read on the timing: because this schedule runs on the calendar rather than on construction stages, you know from the day you book how your paid share will build, whatever the site does. It stands at 35% by month 12, 50% by month 24, 65% by month 36 and 80% by month 48, with the last 20% held for completion. Buyers who want residency early, to move a family or open UAE banking, can plan an application on the registered Oqood once the paid-value condition commonly applied to off-plan files is reached, and can see on the schedule roughly when that will be. Buyers with no deadline can wait for completion, expected in Q2 2028, and file on the title deed. Off-plan paid-value conditions are commonly applied and revised from time to time, so confirm the one in force before you submit.

The Al Sufouh Tower Behind a Ten-Year Residency

A ten-year residency ties you to one address for a long time, so the building deserves as much attention as the threshold. The DAMAC Casa project guide covers what the qualifying purchase actually buys: both apartment tiers, current prices, the full payment schedule and the amenity levels.

Insights

Project Insights for DAMAC Casa Golden Visa Buyers

A residency purchase at DAMAC Casa depends on more than the price threshold. Buyers also need to follow the tower's dated progress toward the title deed and confirm that every instalment is paid into the project's escrow account. The two resources below cover both, alongside this page.

FAQs

DAMAC Casa Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions

The property route to the UAE Golden Visa is commonly assessed against a minimum registered property value of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, subject to the regulations in force at the time of application. At DAMAC Casa the cheapest current layout, the 1 Bedroom Luxury Apartment, starts at AED 2.48M ≈ USD 675K, so the entry point of the tower already sits above that minimum. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

All five current tiers. The 1 Bedroom Luxury starts at AED 2.48M ≈ USD 675K, the 2 Bedroom Luxury at AED 3.62M ≈ USD 986K, the 3 Bedroom Luxury at AED 5.11M ≈ USD 1.39M, the 4 Bedroom Super Luxury at AED 17.91M ≈ USD 4.88M and the 5 Bedroom Super Luxury at AED 23.61M ≈ USD 6.43M, so each qualifies individually at its starting price. Eligibility follows the registered purchase value of the specific unit, which is why a secondary-market unit registered for less than AED 2M ≈ USD 545K falls outside the rule on its own. Layouts and the full price ladder are on the DAMAC Casa project guide.

The plan is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, then 16 instalments of 3.75% each due within 3 to 48 months of the sale date, and 20% on completion. Because the instalments follow the calendar rather than construction stages, the paid share reaches 35% by month 12, 50% by month 24, 65% by month 36 and 80% by month 48, so a buyer can see in advance when the paid-value condition commonly applied to off-plan applications is likely to be met. The exact due dates are the ones fixed in the SPA.

Usually, yes. An off-plan application typically rests on the Oqood contract registered with the Dubai Land Department after booking, together with proof that the price and the amount paid so far meet the conditions applied at the time of application. Anyone who would rather file on a title deed can wait for handover, expected in Q2 2028. The route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide, and dated progress toward handover is tracked in the DAMAC Casa construction updates.

Financed purchases can be considered, but the treatment of the financed portion, particularly on an off-plan unit still held under Oqood, is set by the residency and land authorities and is updated from time to time. In practice the file has to show that the qualifying value is met under the conditions in force when you apply, so buyers planning to use a mortgage should confirm the current rule and the lender's documentation before committing to a DAMAC Casa unit.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered value, and each share is generally expected to meet the threshold on its own, with separate treatment sometimes applied to spouses under the rules in force at the time of application. On an equal two-way split, the 3 Bedroom Luxury at AED 5.11M ≈ USD 1.39M is the smallest DAMAC Casa tier where each half, about AED 2.56M ≈ USD 696K, stays above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K; an equal split of a 1 or 2 Bedroom Luxury apartment would leave each share under it. Confirm the current joint-ownership rule before registering the purchase.

The property Golden Visa commonly allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, and in some cases other family members, under conditions such as age and relationship rules that the residency authorities set and update from time to time. Sponsorship follows the main visa, so it depends on the DAMAC Casa purchase first satisfying the requirements in force at the time of application. The family provisions are covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The current term of the property Golden Visa is 10 years, renewable. Renewal is commonly tied to keeping a qualifying ownership position, so a buyer who sells the DAMAC Casa apartment, or whose remaining holding falls below the threshold applied at the time, should expect the basis for renewal to change. Renewal conditions follow the regulations in force when the renewal is filed.

The usual sequence is: register the purchase with the Dubai Land Department (Oqood for an off-plan unit, title deed after handover), prepare the ownership and payment documents together with passport details, submit the application to the residency authorities, complete the medical fitness test and biometrics, and receive the visa and Emirates ID. Processing times vary with the file and the rules in force. Each step is detailed in the how to apply for the UAE Golden Visa guide.

It is a long-term residency permit, not citizenship or a passport. Buying the apartment makes you eligible to apply but does not guarantee approval: that decision rests with the authorities, who apply the requirements in force when you file, among them verification of ownership and routine security screening. It does not remove the official government fees, and it does not change the DAMAC Casa construction schedule or the Q2 2028 expected handover.

No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.
