Ivy at DAMAC Riverside Golden Visa

Both types. The 4 Bedroom Townhouses start at AED 2.55M ≈ USD 694K and the 5 Bedroom Townhouses at AED 3.50M ≈ USD 953K, so each clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value threshold on its own at current prices. What counts is the value registered against the specific unit, so the contract figure should be checked before applying. The full criteria are covered in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

It is commonly possible, subject to the rules in force at the time of application. An off-plan file usually rests on the Oqood registration issued after booking, plus evidence that the contract value clears the threshold and that any amount-paid rule current on the application date has been met. Under the Ivy 20/55/25 plan, 20% is paid at booking and 55% during construction as scheduled in the SPA, so 75% of the price is paid before handover. A buyer with no urgency can instead apply once the title deed is issued at handover. The off-plan route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

No. The 4% DLD registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on the booking date, alongside the 20% down payment, and sits on top of the purchase price. The qualifying figure is the purchase value registered for the townhouse, which excludes the fee, so for an Ivy 4 Bedroom Townhouse that figure is its price of AED 2.55M ≈ USD 694K.

At handover, expected in Q4 2027, the final 25% of the price is paid and the Oqood registration is replaced by a title deed issued by the Dubai Land Department. An application made after that point rests on completed, registered ownership rather than an off-plan contract, so the paid-value questions that arise during construction generally fall away. The qualifying figure is still the registered purchase value of the specific townhouse.

Ivy was recorded at 38.13% on the Dubai Land Department register at the inspection of 26 August 2026, with handover expected in Q4 2027. A purchase today is therefore an off-plan purchase: ownership is evidenced by Oqood rather than a title deed, and an application made before handover relies on the off-plan conditions in force at the time. A newer inspection may already be on record, and the latest reading can be checked on the Ivy at DAMAC Riverside construction updates page.

Mortgaged property has commonly been accepted for property-based Golden Visa applications, typically with a letter from the lender confirming the amount paid, but these conditions are set by the authorities and updated from time to time. For an off-plan townhouse such as Ivy, financing before handover depends on the lender and on the SPA, so both the lender's terms and the residency conditions in force at the time of application should be checked before relying on a mortgage.

Joint purchases are assessed under the conditions in force at the time of application, and a co-owner's share is commonly looked at on its own value rather than on the full contract price. Two buyers sharing one Ivy townhouse should therefore check how each share is treated before either relies on it for residency, since the answer can differ between a single owner and a shared title.

The program has commonly allowed holders to sponsor a spouse and children, with the conditions for each dependant set by the issuing authorities and updated from time to time. The Ivy townhouse supports the main applicant's visa, and dependants are added under the rules in force at the time of application. What family sponsorship covers is set out in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

No. Buyers who purchase an Ivy townhouse through this advisory receive the VIP visa application service, from preparing the documents to filing them and tracking the decision, free of charge. Government fees apply and are paid at the official rates in force when the application is filed.

No. A qualifying purchase makes the buyer eligible to apply; the decision rests with the issuing authority, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), applying the requirements in force at the time, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Meeting the price threshold is a condition of eligibility, not an approval.
