Harbour Lights Golden Visa

The two and three bedroom apartments do. Two bedroom releases start at AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K and three bedroom releases at AED 2.885M ≈ USD 785K, so either one clears the threshold on a single registered purchase. One bedroom apartments start at AED 1.50M ≈ USD 408K and sit below it, so they do not qualify on their own. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Not on its own. At AED 1.50M ≈ USD 408K a one bedroom falls roughly AED 0.50M ≈ USD 136K short of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment. The program allows the qualifying value to be reached across more than one registered property, so a one bedroom can sit inside a combined holding rather than carry an application alone, with the total assessed on registered purchase values under the conditions in force at the time of application.

At current starting prices the three bedroom, from AED 2.885M ≈ USD 785K, opens slightly below the two bedroom at AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K while carrying roughly 300 more square feet. Both clear the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold individually, so the cheaper qualifying entry point is also the larger layout. Starting prices move between releases, so the registered value on a specific unit is what the application is assessed against.

Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value, together with any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed at handover in Q2 2027. The process is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The plan is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, 50% across construction linked installments, and 30% on completion. Because the tower was recorded at 64.31% progress at the RERA inspection of 9 July 2026, a large part of the construction linked portion has already fallen due on earlier releases, so buyers entering now usually reach the commonly applied paid-value conditions on a short remaining schedule. Those conditions are updated from time to time and should be checked before submitting.
