DAMAC District Golden Visa

Two bedroom apartments contracted at or above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K qualify on their own, and every office unit does, priced from AED 6.095M ≈ USD 1.66M. One bedroom apartments run from AED 1.142M ≈ USD 311K to AED 1.696M ≈ USD 462K in the launch price list, entirely below the minimum, so a single one bedroom does not qualify alone. The full eligibility criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Not on their own. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, and the launch price list puts every one bedroom layout between AED 1.142M ≈ USD 311K and AED 1.696M ≈ USD 462K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment. Buyers at that entry point either move up to a two bedroom contracted above the line or use the combined ownership route, where the regulations in force permit it.

A combined holding of Dubai property reaching AED 2M ≈ USD 545K in total registered value is a route commonly applied under the program, and the conditions attached to it are updated from time to time. At launch pricing, two one bedroom apartments would exceed that total on combined registered value. Whether a combined holding is accepted depends on the requirements in force when the application is submitted.

Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which follows booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities at the time of application. With handover set for Q3 2029, an off-plan file is the earlier of the two routes; the alternative is waiting for the title deed at completion. The sequence is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The launch plan is 20 per cent on booking, plus the 4 per cent Dubai Land Department fee payable on top of that deposit, then 40 per cent across forty monthly instalments of about 1 per cent, with a quarterly variant of fifteen larger instalments, and 40 per cent on completion. That structure means 60 per cent of the contract value is paid before handover, so buyers relying on a paid-value condition should check the amount paid on their own schedule against the condition in force rather than assuming construction payments alone satisfy it.

Office units at DAMAC District are registered property purchases starting at AED 6.095M ≈ USD 1.66M, well above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, and they carry the same freehold ownership rights as the apartments. Applications resting on commercial property are assessed against the rules in force at the time of application, and the registered value recorded against the unit is what gets measured.

Yes. DAMAC District is freehold and open to all nationalities, with ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility. That applies to the office floors as well as the apartments. Buyer payments run through a DLD-registered escrow account with Mashreq Bank, covered on the DAMAC District escrow account page.

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.

No. A qualifying purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Construction status against each RERA inspection can be checked at any time on the DAMAC District construction updates page.
