Equiterra at Grand Polo Golden Visa

All three tiers. 3 bedroom villas start at AED 3.60M ≈ USD 980K, 4 bedroom villas at AED 4.70M ≈ USD 1.28M and 5 bedroom villas at AED 10.80M ≈ USD 2.94M, so every current release sits above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment on its own and no tier at Equiterra falls below the line. Because eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, the contracted figure on the specific villa is the number that counts. The qualifying criteria in full are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

Yes. Equiterra is a freehold development inside Grand Polo Club & Resort, carried on the Dubai Land Department register as project number 4185, and ownership is open to all nationalities. Registered ownership in the buyer's own name is the basis of a property based Golden Visa application, and freehold status is what makes that form of ownership available to foreign buyers on this plot at Dubai Investment Park Second.

The published schedule is 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, six instalments of 10, 10, 10, 10, 15 and 15 percent dated January 2026 through July 2028, and a closing 20% in August 2029. Off-plan conditions are commonly framed around how much of the price has actually been paid, so the tier decides the timing: measured against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, cumulative payments pass it at the 20% stage on a 5 bedroom villa, the 50% stage on a 4 bedroom villa and the 65% stage on a 3 bedroom villa. Those conditions are updated from time to time and should be confirmed for the schedule in force when the file is prepared.

It depends on why the residency is needed. Applying during construction can start the ten year term years ahead of the Q3 2029 handover, which suits a household relocating or settling affairs in the UAE, but it is subject to the off-plan conditions in force on the day of application, and those change from time to time. Waiting for completion produces the simplest file, because the application then rests on a finished property held under a title deed. The two routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

In outline: the purchase is recorded with the Dubai Land Department, the property and identity documents are assembled, the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics are completed, and the residency file goes to the issuing authority for a decision. The sequence and the paperwork at each stage are set by the authorities rather than by the developer, which is why nothing about the process is specific to Equiterra. The full step by step order is in the UAE Golden Visa application guide.

The assessment runs on the registered value of the property rather than a listing price or an opinion of value, so the evidence normally comes from the Dubai Land Department record of the purchase together with the sale and purchase agreement. For an Equiterra villa that is the contracted figure, from AED 3.60M ≈ USD 980K on the 3 bedroom tier, measured against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum. Where a purchase is still being paid down, a statement of the amounts paid to date is commonly requested alongside it.

The property route currently carries a ten year residency term and is renewable, with renewal resting on the qualifying property still being held in the applicant's name and on the conditions in force at the time of renewal. Because the term is renewable rather than permanent, the holding period matters as much as the purchase price: a villa bought to secure residency is also a villa to live in or let for a decade. Renewal detail and the wider entitlements are covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

Family sponsorship is one of the main reasons buyers choose the ten year route. A holder is generally able to sponsor a spouse and children, with dependent parents and domestic staff handled under separate rules, and dependents' permits are normally tied to the main holder's term. Eligibility for each dependent category, and the documents each one needs, are set by the residency authorities and are revised from time to time, so the position should be confirmed for the household before the file is prepared. The categories are listed in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory the VIP application service is free: document preparation, submission, and status follow-up are all included, and only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application. A free service carries no implication about the outcome, which rests entirely with the authorities.

No. A qualifying purchase makes an applicant eligible to apply; approval depends on satisfying every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification, medical clearance and standard background checks. Construction status, which off-plan applicants are frequently asked to evidence, was recorded at 0.83% at the RERA inspection of 14 May 2026 and is published on the Equiterra at Grand Polo construction updates page.
