Eligibility Snapshot

Marina Place 2 Golden Visa Facts

Marina Place 2 is a single freehold residential building by Emaar at Rashid Yachts & Marina, configured as ground, podium and twelve residential floors with 179 residences. The Dubai Land Department lists it as project 3387, registered on 15 November 2024, with construction started on 24 April 2025 and a reading of 1.52% in the Dubai Land Department project register on 21 April 2026, the latest reading in the supplied record, taken while enabling works were progressing. For residency planning, the figure that matters is the entry price: 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.08M ≈ USD 566K, so every current layout begins at or above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value the UAE Golden Visa program currently looks for, under the rules in force at the time of application. The headroom is thin at the bottom of the range, only AED 80K ≈ USD 22K, which makes the recorded value of the exact unit the first thing to check. The title deed follows at handover, expected in Q4 2028, replacing the Oqood registration that records the purchase during construction.

Unit by Unit

Marina Place 2 Homes Against the AED 2M Threshold

The usual Golden Visa problem in a marina building is that the layout a buyer can afford sits just under the line. Marina Place 2 is priced the other way round: its entry home, a 1 bedroom apartment from AED 2.08M ≈ USD 566K, already starts above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and each step up the range widens the margin. The real question here is not which tier qualifies, but how much headroom the chosen unit keeps once its value is recorded.

Unit TypeSize RangeStarting PriceQualifies Alone
1 Bedroom Apartments≈ 799 - 911 sq ft (74 - 85 sq m)AED 2.08M ≈ USD 566KYes
2 Bedroom Apartments≈ 1,163 - 1,403 sq ft (108 - 130 sq m)AED 3.08M ≈ USD 839KYes
3 Bedroom Apartments≈ 1,717 - 1,955 sq ft (160 - 182 sq m)AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17MYes
3 Bedroom Townhouses≈ 2,543 - 2,557 sq ft (236 - 238 sq m)AED 8.95M ≈ USD 2.44MYes
All four unit types start at or above the threshold at current prices. The 1 bedroom margin is only AED 80K ≈ USD 22K, so confirm the recorded value of the specific unit.
!

Why this matters: the visa test uses the property value recorded on the title deed and with the Dubai Land Department at the time of application, not on a starting price. A 1 bedroom recorded at AED 2.08M ≈ USD 566K stays above the line before handover, but any discount, adjustment or unit choice that takes the recorded value under AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would erase that margin. Resale works the same way: a secondary purchase recorded below the threshold would not meet it, so check the recorded value of the exact unit before relying on it.

Payment Plan and Timing

Application Timing for Off-Plan Buyers at Marina Place 2

Marina Place 2 launched on Emaar's 80/20 plan: a 10% down payment (plus the 4% DLD fee, which sits outside the property value), seven further 10% instalments dated January 2025 to February 2028, and a final 20% dated December 2028 on construction completion, so 80% falls before completion and 20% on it. This is the developer's launch schedule of record; buyers entering now settle the instalments already due at signing under Emaar's current terms, so confirm the schedule with Emaar. Before completion, an application usually rests on the Oqood registration recorded with the Dubai Land Department after booking, together with evidence that the purchase reaches the qualifying value and meets any paid-share condition the residency authorities apply on the day.

My read on the timing: the schedule front-loads the price, which gives Marina Place 2 buyers two realistic windows. On the schedule's own dates, the four payments from November 2024 to January 2026 add up to 40% of the price, and those dates had passed by the 21 April 2026 register reading of 1.52%; the next instalment, dated August 2026, is also labelled against 20% construction completion, and the buyer's SPA decides whether the date or the milestone triggers it. Buyers who want residency early, for a family move or UAE banking, can look at applying on the Oqood-registered contract once the paid-share condition in force is met, potentially well before Q4 2028. Buyers with no deadline may prefer to wait for the title deed after the final 20% payment, when the file rests on completed, registered ownership. Off-plan conditions are updated from time to time, so confirm the current requirement before submitting.

The Project

A Marina Address Behind a Ten-Year Residency

A Golden Visa runs for ten years, so the home behind it should still make sense at renewal. The full Marina Place 2 guide covers what sits behind the qualifying value: the four layouts, current prices, the planned amenities and the Rashid Yachts & Marina waterfront around the building.

FAQs

Marina Place 2 Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, all four, at current starting prices. 1 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 2.08M ≈ USD 566K, 2 Bedroom Apartments at AED 3.08M ≈ USD 839K, 3 Bedroom Apartments at AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17M and 3 Bedroom Townhouses at AED 8.95M ≈ USD 2.44M, against the Golden Visa threshold of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. The 1 bedroom clears that line by only AED 80K ≈ USD 22K, and eligibility is assessed on the value recorded on the title deed and with the Dubai Land Department at the time of application, so the recorded value of the specific unit should be confirmed before relying on it. Full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

Often, yes, once the conditions in force are met. Before completion, a Marina Place 2 file typically rests on the Oqood registration, the Dubai Land Department record of an off-plan purchase, plus proof that the recorded value reaches the threshold and that any paid-share condition applied at that time has been satisfied. These off-plan conditions are commonly applied and updated from time to time. Anyone who would rather keep the paperwork straightforward can hold off until the title deed is issued at handover, expected in Q4 2028. Each step is laid out in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

Under Emaar's launch schedule of record, 80% of the price falls due before completion (a 10% down payment plus the 4% DLD fee, then seven 10% instalments dated January 2025 to February 2028) and the final 20% is dated December 2028, on construction completion. The fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department and is generally not treated as part of the property value assessed for the visa. Because most of the price is scheduled before completion, a buyer may meet a commonly applied paid-share condition well ahead of handover. The later instalments carry both a date and a construction milestone, and the buyer's SPA sets which one triggers each payment, so timing should be checked against the SPA and Emaar's current terms for new buyers.

No. The test is the property value recorded with the Dubai Land Department, not whether the home is an apartment or a townhouse, and both are registered the same way: Oqood during construction, then a title deed at handover. The 3 Bedroom Townhouses, two-level homes at the ground and podium levels, start at AED 8.95M ≈ USD 2.44M, more than four times the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, so they carry the widest margin in the building, subject to the rules in force at the time of application.

Mortgaged property has commonly been accepted for the property route, subject to conditions such as a confirmation letter from the lending bank, and those conditions are updated from time to time. Whether a lender will finance an off-plan Marina Place 2 unit before completion is a separate decision for the bank. With the 1 bedroom starting only AED 80K ≈ USD 22K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, a buyer financing that layout should confirm how a mortgaged unit's value is assessed under the rules in force when applying.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the recorded value, and the treatment of spouses and other co-owners is set by the rules in force at the time of application. As illustrative arithmetic only, an equal two-way split of a 1 bedroom apartment at AED 2.08M ≈ USD 566K leaves each owner about AED 1.04M ≈ USD 283K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, while an equal split of a 3 bedroom apartment at AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17M leaves each about AED 2.15M ≈ USD 585K. Co-buyers should confirm the current share rules before deciding how to register the unit.

A Golden Visa obtained through a qualifying Marina Place 2 purchase commonly allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with other family members possible under specific conditions, all subject to the sponsorship rules in force when each family visa is issued. Family visas follow the principal holder's residency, which in turn depends on keeping the qualifying ownership.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable, under the regulations in force when the visa is issued or renewed. Renewal is commonly linked to continued ownership of qualifying property, so selling the Marina Place 2 unit, or reducing the ownership share below the conditions then applied, can affect it. For an off-plan buyer the visa period runs from the date of issue, not from the Q4 2028 handover.

No. Buyers who purchase Marina Place 2 through this advisory receive the VIP application service, from document preparation and submission to status follow-up, free of charge. The service is free; government fees apply, at the official rates the issuing authorities set when the application is filed.

It is long-term residency, not citizenship or a passport. Securing it through a Marina Place 2 purchase does not change the SPA payment schedule, the Q4 2028 handover expectation or the move from Oqood to title deed, and it says nothing about the future rental income or resale value of the unit. The specific entitlements attached to the visa are set by the rules in force at the time and can change.

No. A qualifying Marina Place 2 purchase makes the buyer eligible to apply; the decision rests with the issuing authorities and depends on meeting every requirement applied when the file is assessed, among them verification of the recorded ownership and value and standard background checks. For the 1 bedroom, which starts only AED 80K ≈ USD 22K above the threshold, the recorded value of the specific unit deserves a check first. Progress toward the title deed is tracked on the Marina Place 2 construction updates guide.
