Fiji at DAMAC Islands Golden Visa

The entry home is the 4 Bedroom Townhouse, listed from AED 2.251M ≈ USD 613K, which is AED 251,000 ≈ USD 68K more than the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum for property investors. The second layout, the 5 Bedroom Townhouse from AED 3.07M ≈ USD 836K, clears it by a much wider margin. At these starting prices one Fiji townhouse is enough on its own, although a discount that took the registered value of a 4 Bedroom Townhouse under the minimum would erase that margin. The full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

No. The Dubai Land Department registers the Fiji cluster as two separate projects, Fiji 1 and Fiji 2, but residency eligibility turns on the value registered for your own townhouse, not on the phase that holds it. The register record quoted on the Fiji at DAMAC Islands Golden Visa page is the Fiji 1 record (project 3505). Fiji 2 is registered separately with its own DLD record, so a Fiji 2 buyer relies on the Oqood, and later the title deed, issued in their own name; that document shows both the phase and the registered value.

No. The 4% DLD registration fee goes to the Dubai Land Department on top of the price when you book, so it never forms part of the value that is assessed. The figure that counts is the price registered on the Oqood or the title deed; for a Fiji 4 Bedroom Townhouse at its listed starting price that is AED 2.251M ≈ USD 613K, with no fees added on top.

Often, yes. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Buyers who would rather wait can file once the Oqood has been exchanged for a title deed following the expected Q4 2028 handover, the simplest file of the two. The off-plan Golden Visa guide sets the two routes side by side.

The DAMAC Islands launch sheet DAMAC issued in November 2024 sets a 20% deposit, then 55% spread across 39 instalments falling due a set number of months after the sale, then 25% at completion. All four 5% instalments come within the first 24, so a Fiji buyer who pays each one when due has 60% of the price paid once the 24th clears and 75% once the 39th clears, a timeline that shows the point at which a paid-value condition, as commonly applied, might be satisfied. Your SPA holds the schedule that binds you; check it with DAMAC for your Fiji phase.

Generally yes, subject to the requirements in force at the time of application. Authorities commonly accept a mortgaged home when its registered value reaches the threshold, typically with a bank letter confirming the amount already paid toward it, and those conditions are updated from time to time. For an off-plan Fiji townhouse, the date such a letter can be issued depends on the lender's terms as well as on how far DAMAC's instalment schedule has run.

Each co-owner's share of the registered value is measured on its own against the requirements in force at the time of application, and spouses may be treated differently from other joint owners. On an equal two-way split, neither Fiji townhouse type gives each owner a share at or above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold at the listed starting prices, so co-owners who are not spouses should check the current joint-ownership rules before structuring the purchase.

A spouse and children can generally be sponsored by a property-based Golden Visa holder, provided the documents and conditions that ICP or GDRFA require on the day of the application are met. Their residency depends on the main holder's visa and runs only while that visa stays valid. The Golden Visa benefits guide explains what family members receive.

Property investors currently receive a 10-year residency under the program, and it is renewable. To renew, you generally still need to own property meeting the value threshold at that point, so selling the Fiji townhouse, or replacing it with property registered below the threshold, can end your eligibility. Renewal follows the requirements in force on the date you renew.

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. Owning a townhouse registered at a qualifying value gives you the right to apply, not the visa itself: approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks, and ICP or GDRFA make the final call.
