Ivory at DAMAC Hills by DAMAC Golden Visa

All three. The 3 Bedroom Townhouse starts at AED 2.789M ≈ USD 759K, the 5 Bedroom Townhouse at AED 4.357M ≈ USD 1.19M and the 4 Bedroom Villa at AED 6.885M ≈ USD 1.87M, so each one is priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value threshold on its own, with the 3 bedroom townhouse as the lowest qualifying unit. The authorities judge eligibility by the value registered for the specific home, while a resale bought for less than AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would fall short of the line by itself. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

In many cases, yes, subject to the conditions in force when you apply. An application during construction commonly rests on the Oqood registration of the purchase contract, together with evidence that the registered value is above the qualifying minimum and that any paid-amount condition set by the authorities has been met. Buyers who prefer to file on completed ownership can wait for the title deed, expected at handover in Q2 2028. Each step is covered in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The plan is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, 55% across eight instalments during construction, and 25% on handover. The fee is a registration charge paid to the Dubai Land Department and is not part of the purchase value assessed for the visa. Because the plan schedules 75% of the price before handover, buyers commonly reach the paid-amount conditions applied to off-plan applications during the construction period; the dates of the eight instalments are fixed in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, and the condition in force should be confirmed before filing.

Under the conditions commonly applied, a property bought with bank finance can support a Golden Visa application, typically with a letter from the lender and subject to rules on the amount the buyer has already paid; those rules are updated from time to time. Lender appetite for financing an off-plan purchase such as Ivory, which is under construction with handover expected in Q2 2028, varies from bank to bank, so the financing terms and the visa conditions should both be confirmed before booking.

Joint ownership is possible: Ivory is a freehold project open to buyers of every nationality, so two or more buyers can be registered on the same townhouse or villa. For the Golden Visa, the authorities look at how each owner's share of the registered value relates to the qualifying minimum, so whether one owner or every owner can apply as an investor depends on the share structure and the rules in force at the time of application. Couples buying together should check the conditions applied to spouses before the shares are fixed in the contract.

In most cases, yes. The program currently allows the main investor to sponsor a spouse and children under the conditions in force when the application is made, and sponsored family members typically receive residency tied to the main holder's visa. What sponsorship covers, and where it stops, is explained in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term for property investors is 10 years, renewable. Renewal commonly depends on still owning a qualifying property at that point, so an Ivory owner who keeps the home and meets the conditions in force at renewal can apply again. The application and renewal steps are covered in the how to apply for a UAE Golden Visa guide.

The visa rests on owning a qualifying property, so selling the Ivory home generally removes the basis on which it was granted, and the residency authorities may cancel it under the rules in force at that time. Owners planning a sale during the visa term should check the current conditions first, including whether a replacement qualifying property would keep the residency in place.

No service fee is charged. Buyers who purchase at Ivory through this advisory receive the VIP Golden Visa application service, covering preparation of the file, submission and progress tracking, free of charge. The government fees published by the issuing authorities still apply and are paid by the applicant.

No. A qualifying purchase makes an application possible, not an approved visa: the decision rests with the UAE residency authorities, who check ownership, the registered value and standard background requirements under the rules in force at application. Ivory is under construction, and its registered progress is tracked on the Ivory at DAMAC Hills construction updates page.
