Eligibility Snapshot

Inaura Residences by Arada Golden Visa Facts

Inaura Residences by Arada in Downtown Dubai is a 114-residence freehold tower in which, according to the Arada brochure, the branded residences rise above the Inaura Hotel. The project entered the Dubai Land Department register as project number 4226 on 21 November 2025 and read 1.32% on that register at the inspection of 01 October 2026, when enabling and piling works were progressing on site. The number that settles residency planning sits at the bottom of the price list: the 1 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 3.59M ≈ USD 977K, about AED 1.59M ≈ USD 433K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, so a single residence of any type clears it, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Where a project's entry stock sits close to the line, buyers have to test the threshold unit by unit; here the margin at the cheapest door ends that exercise. Handover is expected in Q2 2030, when the Oqood registration gives way to a title deed.

Unit by Unit

Which Inaura Residences Units Meet the AED 2M Threshold

When the smallest residence in a tower already costs well over the residency minimum, the visa stops being a reason to choose one unit over another. All six Inaura Residences types clear the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line individually at today's starting prices, from the 1 bedroom apartments up to the 6 bedroom Sky Penthouse, so the decision between them can rest on how you plan to live in or hold the residence rather than on eligibility.

Unit TypeSize RangeStarting PriceQualifies Alone
1 Bedroom Apartments705 to 834 sq ft (65 to 77 sq m)AED 3.59M ≈ USD 977KYes
2 Bedroom Apartments1,272 to 1,685 sq ft (118 to 157 sq m)AED 6.43M ≈ USD 1.75MYes
3 Bedroom Apartments2,874 to 2,937 sq ft (267 to 273 sq m)AED 14.50M ≈ USD 3.95MYes
4 Bedroom Apartments4,034 to 4,667 sq ft (375 to 434 sq m)AED 20.73M ≈ USD 5.64MYes
5 Bedroom Sky Villa Duplexes6,781 to 7,449 sq ft (630 to 692 sq m)AED 41.05M ≈ USD 11.18MYes
6 Bedroom Sky Penthouse17,770 sq ft (1,651 sq m)AED 120.00M ≈ USD 32.68MYes
Every residence type at Inaura Residences clears the threshold individually at current starting prices.

Why this matters: the authorities look at the purchase value registered with the Dubai Land Department, not at a list price, so the figure on your Oqood is the one to check. At AED 3.59M ≈ USD 977K, even the entry 1 bedroom apartment carries a margin of about AED 1.59M ≈ USD 433K. A resale unit, or any contract registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, would not qualify on its own, so confirm the registered value of your specific residence before applying.

Payment Plan and Timing

Golden Visa Timing on the Inaura Residences Payment Plan

Inaura Residences by Arada sells on a 10/40/50 plan: 10% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee, paid to the Dubai Land Department), 40% across seven construction-period payments, and 50% on handover in Q2 2030; confirm the dates of the seven construction-period payments with Arada. For an off-plan file, the usual evidence is the Oqood registration that follows booking, together with proof that the contract value and any paid-amount condition applied by the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities at the time are satisfied.

My read on the timing: with half of the price falling due at handover, this is a back-loaded plan, and that shapes when an off-plan file can be built. By the end of the seven construction-period payments a buyer has paid 50% of the price, which is about AED 1.80M ≈ USD 489K on the entry 1 bedroom apartment, still under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K figure, and about AED 3.22M ≈ USD 875K on a 2 bedroom apartment from AED 6.43M ≈ USD 1.75M. Whether a given paid amount is enough before completion depends on the paid-value condition in force when you apply, and that condition is updated from time to time. Buyers who need residency early, for a family move or UAE banking, should test that condition against their own schedule before booking; buyers with no urgency can wait for the title deed at the Q2 2030 handover, when the file rests on completed, registered ownership.

FAQs

Inaura Residences by Arada Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions

All six. The 1 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 3.59M ≈ USD 977K, about AED 1.59M ≈ USD 433K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and the 2 Bedroom Apartments (AED 6.43M ≈ USD 1.75M), 3 Bedroom Apartments (AED 14.50M ≈ USD 3.95M), 4 Bedroom Apartments (AED 20.73M ≈ USD 5.64M), 5 Bedroom Sky Villa Duplexes (AED 41.05M ≈ USD 11.18M) and 6 Bedroom Sky Penthouse (AED 120.00M ≈ USD 32.68M) sit further above it, so each type qualifies on its own at current starting prices. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the specific unit, and a resale unit registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify by itself. The full eligibility criteria sit in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

In principle, yes. Off-plan applications are commonly supported by the Oqood registration issued after booking, provided the contract value clears AED 2M ≈ USD 545K and any paid-value condition applied at the time of application is met. Buyers who would rather file on completed ownership can wait for the title deed at the Q2 2030 handover. The off-plan route is set out in the Off-Plan Property Golden Visa guide.

Payments run 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 40% across seven construction-period payments, and 50% on handover in Q2 2030. Because half of the price is deferred to handover, the share paid during construction never exceeds 50%, so whether a file can be submitted before completion depends on the paid-value condition in force when you apply. Buyers who meet it can apply on the Oqood; others apply once the title deed is issued.

Financed property can be considered under the program, but the conditions applied to it, typically a no-objection letter from the lending bank and rules on how much of the price must already be paid, are set by the authorities and updated from time to time. The lender's own criteria for financing an off-plan contract apply as well, so confirm how a financed Inaura Residences purchase would be assessed before relying on it for residency.

Under the commonly applied approach, each co-owner's share must reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own, while spouses holding jointly may be assessed differently under the rules in force. As arithmetic only: an equal two-way split of a 2 Bedroom Apartment from AED 6.43M ≈ USD 1.75M gives each owner about AED 3.22M ≈ USD 875K, whereas the same split of a 1 Bedroom Apartment from AED 3.59M ≈ USD 977K gives about AED 1.80M ≈ USD 489K each, under the threshold. Confirm how a joint title will be assessed before choosing the ownership structure.

The program currently allows a property-based Golden Visa holder to sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the documentation and conditions in force at the time of application; whether other relatives can be added depends on the rules applied then. Family sponsorship is set out in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is ten years, renewable. Renewal is generally assessed on whether the holder still owns qualifying property at the required value, so selling the Inaura Residences unit, or holding it on terms that no longer meet the conditions, can affect renewal. Check the requirements in force when the renewal falls due.

After booking, the purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department and an Oqood is issued in the buyer's name. Once the conditions in force are met, the application is filed with the residency authorities on the Oqood or, after the Q2 2030 handover, on the title deed, followed by the standard medical test and Emirates ID biometrics. The full sequence is in the how to apply for the UAE Golden Visa guide.

No. Buyers who purchase through this advisory receive the VIP Golden Visa application service, covering document preparation, submission and status follow-up, free of charge. The service is free; government fees apply, at the rates the issuing authorities set when you apply.

No. A qualifying purchase makes the buyer eligible to apply, and approval still turns on every requirement applied when the file is submitted, ownership checks and security screening included. Progress toward the Q2 2030 handover is recorded on the Inaura Residences construction updates page.

It is a residency visa, not UAE citizenship or a passport. It does not change the payment schedule or the Q2 2030 handover of the residence, it does not waive the government fees for the holder or for sponsored family members, and it stays tied to the conditions in force, including continued ownership of qualifying property.
