Eligibility Snapshot

Magnolia Apartments Hotel Golden Visa Facts

Magnolia Apartments Hotel at Dubai Internet City brings 124 freehold residences to a G+5 building by Palladium Development, sold off-plan with handover expected in Q3 2028. For residency planning its price list divides in two. Studio Apartments from AED 1.25M ≈ USD 340K and 1 Bedroom Apartments from AED 1.90M ≈ USD 518K sit under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment that the UAE Golden Visa program currently asks for, while 2 Bedroom Apartments from AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K reach it with one unit, subject to the conditions in force on the day you apply. Buyers who need the visa therefore pick the layout by the threshold first and by floor area second. This snapshot, dated 1 October 2026, includes no Dubai Land Department register reading for the project, so verify Magnolia on Dubai REST before making any payment. At handover, the Oqood registration of an off-plan purchase is replaced by a title deed.

Unit by Unit

Which Magnolia Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold

With three apartment types priced between AED 1.25M ≈ USD 340K and AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, Magnolia straddles the Golden Visa line instead of sitting comfortably above it. The practical result is a narrow choice: a buyer who wants residency from one purchase is looking at the 2 Bedroom, and a buyer drawn to the lower entry of the Studio or 1 Bedroom is buying a home or an investment that does not, by itself, carry a visa.

Unit TypeApproximate SizeStarting PriceQualifies Alone
Studio Apartments≈ 308 sq ft (29 sq m)AED 1.25M ≈ USD 340KNo
1 Bedroom Apartments≈ 680 sq ft (63 sq m)AED 1.90M ≈ USD 518KNo
2 Bedroom Apartments≈ 1,260 sq ft (117 sq m)AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735KYes
Only the 2 Bedroom qualifies individually at current starting prices. Studio and 1 Bedroom purchases do not reach the threshold alone.
!

Why this matters: the qualifying test looks at the purchase value registered for your unit, so a 2 Bedroom contracted at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K keeps you above the line through construction, provided that is the value on the contract. The 1 Bedroom at AED 1.90M ≈ USD 518K misses by AED 100K ≈ USD 27K, a gap small enough to be overlooked, and any unit registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, a resale 2 Bedroom included, would not qualify alone. Check the contract value of your specific apartment before you apply.

Payment Plan and Timing

When Magnolia Off-Plan Buyers Can Apply for Residency

The Magnolia plan, as currently published and indicative until confirmed in your SPA, asks for 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 50% during construction and 40% on handover. The fee is paid on top of the price and is not counted toward the qualifying value. An off-plan application usually leans on Oqood, the interim registration of an off-plan purchase, backed by evidence that the contract value clears the threshold and that any paid-value condition set by the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities at the time of filing is met.

My read on the timing: the 40% handover payment is the feature that shapes this decision. Because 60% of the price is paid before completion, a 2 Bedroom buyer who needs residency early can look at applying during construction on the strength of an Oqood-registered contract, once whatever paid-value condition applies at that point has been met, keeping in mind that the plan never asks for more than 60% of the price before handover. A buyer with no deadline, or one planning to finance the final 40% with a mortgage on the completed unit, will usually find the cleaner file comes at the expected Q3 2028 handover, when the title deed replaces the Oqood and the application rests on finished, registered ownership. Off-plan requirements are updated from time to time, so confirm the current paid-value condition before you submit.

The Project

The Building Behind a Qualifying 2 Bedroom

A ten-year residency is only as comfortable as the apartment behind it. The Magnolia project guide shows what the purchase itself includes: all three layouts and prices, the rooftop pool and gym, the payment plan and the Dubai Internet City address.

FAQs

Magnolia Apartments Hotel at Dubai Internet City Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions

Only the 2 Bedroom. 2 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment the UAE Golden Visa program requires, so a single 2 Bedroom can support an application under the conditions in force at the time you apply. Studio Apartments from AED 1.25M ≈ USD 340K and 1 Bedroom Apartments from AED 1.90M ≈ USD 518K are below that line. The eligibility criteria in full are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Both are priced below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold: the Studio from AED 1.25M ≈ USD 340K and the 1 Bedroom from AED 1.90M ≈ USD 518K, which leaves the 1 Bedroom AED 100K ≈ USD 27K short. Whether separate holdings can be combined to reach the threshold depends on the rules applied at the time of application, so that route should be confirmed with the issuing authorities before buying with residency in mind.

An off-plan file commonly rests on an Oqood-registered contract, plus evidence that the contract value clears the threshold and that any paid-value condition in force when you file has been satisfied, and those conditions are updated from time to time. At Magnolia that route is realistic only for 2 Bedroom buyers, because the other apartment types sit below the threshold. Waiting for the title deed at the expected Q3 2028 handover gives a simpler file for buyers in no hurry. Each step is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

Magnolia's published plan asks for 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 50% during construction and 40% on handover, with the SPA as the binding schedule. The fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the price and does not count toward the qualifying value. Because 60% of the price is paid before completion, a 2 Bedroom buyer may meet commonly applied paid-value conditions during construction, depending on the instalment dates and the conditions in force, while the final 40% falls due only at handover.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered purchase value rather than on the whole unit, under the conditions in force at the time of application. A 2 Bedroom at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K split equally between two owners gives each a share of AED 1.35M ≈ USD 368K, which is below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and the treatment of spouses who co-own can differ. How co-ownership will be assessed is best confirmed before the names on the contract are fixed.

Mortgaged property is commonly accepted for a property-based Golden Visa, usually with a no-objection letter from the lender and subject to the value and payment conditions in force at the time of application. At Magnolia, the 40% due on handover is the stage where financing on a completed 2 Bedroom typically becomes relevant, so the residency file and the mortgage are often planned together around the expected Q3 2028 handover.

The UAE Golden Visa currently runs for a 10-year renewable term and allows the holder to sponsor family members such as a spouse and children, under the conditions in force when the application is made. What the visa does and does not cover is explained in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
