Lime Gardens at Dubai Hills Estate Golden Visa

Four of the five tiers. 1 bedroom duplexes start at AED 2.40M ≈ USD 654K, 2 bedroom apartments at AED 2.62M ≈ USD 713K, 3 bedroom apartments at AED 3.70M ≈ USD 1.01M, and 2 bedroom duplex townhouses at AED 4.40M ≈ USD 1.20M, so each clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on a single registered title deed. Only the 1 bedroom apartments, from AED 1.55M ≈ USD 422K, sit below the line. The full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Not on their own at current pricing. The 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.55M ≈ USD 422K, which is below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment minimum, so a single 1 bedroom purchase does not support a property-based application. It remains a freehold Dubai Hills Estate residence with the same ownership rights, and the next tier up, the 1 bedroom duplex at AED 2.40M ≈ USD 654K, is the cheapest layout at Lime Gardens that qualifies alone.

The threshold can be met across more than one property rather than a single unit, which is how buyers set on the 1 bedroom apartment layout usually approach it. Combination cases are assessed on the registered value of the properties held and against the conditions in force at the time of application, so the position should be confirmed on the specific units before contracts are signed rather than assumed from the arithmetic.

It removes the off-plan variables. Because the tower is finished and certified at 100% by RERA, a purchase registers a title deed at the Dubai Land Department rather than an Oqood, so the application rests on completed, registered ownership from the point of transfer instead of on paid-value conditions that are updated from time to time. The comparison with an off-plan purchase is set out in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

Yes. Lime Gardens is freehold and open to all nationalities, with ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility. Buyer payments during the construction period ran through a DLD-registered escrow account with Mashreq Bank, covered on the Lime Gardens escrow account page.

The property investment route currently carries a 10-year renewable residency term, and the visa can extend to a spouse and children under the sponsorship rules applied at the time of application. Renewal depends on continuing to satisfy the qualifying conditions then in force. The scope of the residency, and what it does not cover, is detailed in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.

No. A qualifying purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. The step-by-step sequence from registered ownership to Emirates ID is set out in the Golden Visa application guide.
