Eligibility Snapshot
Greenway 2 at Emaar South Golden Visa Facts
Greenway 2 is a 492-townhouse freehold community by Emaar in Emaar South, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 3121 on 13 June 2024, with construction started on 23 October 2024 across a 113,658.95 sq m plot at Madinat Al Mataar and certified at 34.37% progress at the RERA inspection dated 29 July 2026, up from 23.97% at the previous inspection. The registry records the release as an even split of 246 three bedroom and 246 four bedroom G+1 homes. For residency planning the arithmetic is unusually clean: 3 bedroom townhouses start at AED 2.72M ≈ USD 741K and 4 bedroom townhouses at AED 3.11M ≈ USD 847K, so both tiers sit above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Handover is expected in Q2 2028, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Greenway 2 Townhouses Meet the AED 2M Threshold
Projects priced close to the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line force a nervous calculation, because a smaller layout or a lower floor plate can drop the registered value under the threshold. Greenway 2 does not sit near that line. The 3 bedroom entry price clears it by about AED 720,000 ≈ USD 196K and the 4 bedroom by about AED 1.11M ≈ USD 302K, which takes eligibility out of the tier decision entirely. What separates the two typologies is land rather than living space: built-up areas differ by roughly 300 sq ft, while average plot area moves from 1,876 sq ft on the 3 bedroom to 3,097 sq ft on the 4 bedroom. The AED 390,000 ≈ USD 106K step between them is a livability question, not an eligibility one.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 Bedroom Townhouse | 2,446 sq ft (227 sq m) | AED 2.72M ≈ USD 741K | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Townhouse | 2,753 sq ft (256 sq m) | AED 3.11M ≈ USD 847K | Yes |
| Both Greenway 2 typologies qualify individually, the entry tier by roughly 36%. No combining of properties is needed. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a 3 bedroom contracted at AED 2.72M ≈ USD 741K holds its position above the threshold from the day the sale is registered, well before handover. A secondary market townhouse later resold below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on its own, so confirm the value recorded against your specific unit before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Greenway 2 Can Apply
Greenway 2 sells on ten instalments of 10%: 10% on booking alongside the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee, then nine further instalments through to completion. Four of them carry fixed calendar dates and the remaining six are released against certified construction milestones at 10%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% completion, with the final 10% falling at 100% completion in May 2028. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Emaar completes after booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing: the milestone structure is what makes this project straightforward. RERA certified 34.37% progress on 29 July 2026, which means the 20% completion instalment has already been released and the 40% milestone is next in line. A buyer who entered at launch has therefore settled six of the ten instalments, or 60% of the price, comfortably beyond the paid-value levels commonly applied to off-plan residency files. A buyer entering later settles the instalments those passed milestones have already triggered, so a purchase made today reaches the same paid position sooner rather than later, and the exact catch-up schedule should be confirmed on your own unit before signing. Because off-plan requirements are updated from time to time, verify the current paid-value condition before submitting. If you would rather file on completed ownership, waiting for the Q2 2028 title deed rests the application on registered title instead of a contract. Progress against each milestone is tracked on the Greenway 2 July 2026 construction update.

Greenway 2 at Emaar South Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Both tiers. 3 bedroom townhouses start at AED 2.72M ≈ USD 741K and 4 bedroom townhouses at AED 3.11M ≈ USD 847K, so each one clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment on its own, with no combining of properties. Eligibility is assessed on the value registered against your unit, so a secondary market townhouse later resold below the threshold would not qualify alone. Full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Emaar completes after booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Buyers who prefer to file on completed ownership can wait for the title deed issued at handover in Q2 2028. The sequence is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan runs as ten instalments of 10%, beginning with 10% on booking alongside the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee. Four instalments carry fixed calendar dates and six are released against certified construction milestones at 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% completion. Because six of the ten follow progress rather than the calendar, the share of the price paid on any given date depends on where the project stands at that inspection.
RERA certified Greenway 2 at 34.37% at the Independent Progress Monitoring Report inspection dated 29 July 2026, up from 23.97% at the preceding inspection. The figure matters for residency planning because it releases the milestone instalments and carries the project toward the title deed. Each new certified reading is recorded on the Greenway 2 construction updates page.
