Marina Views at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa

Three of the four. The 2 bedroom starts at AED 2.52M ≈ USD 686K, the 3 bedroom at AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17M and the 4 bedroom at AED 9.10M ≈ USD 2.48M, so each of those apartments clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment on its own. The 1 bedroom, from AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K, sits below that line and does not qualify alone. The full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Because the minimum property investment applied under the program is AED 2M ≈ USD 545K and the 1 bedroom starts at AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K, which is under that figure. Buyers who want residency from a single unit at Marina Views begin at the 2 bedroom, from AED 2.52M ≈ USD 686K. Qualifying values are set by the authorities and are updated from time to time, so the figure in force on the day of application is the one that counts.

Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the property, which for an off-plan unit is the value recorded against the contract rather than a later market estimate. A 2 bedroom registered at AED 2.52M ≈ USD 686K therefore sits above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line from the moment the purchase is registered. Secondary market units priced below the threshold would not qualify on their own, whatever the original launch price was.

Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Those conditions are updated from time to time, so the current requirement is confirmed before anything is submitted. Buyers who prefer the simplest possible file wait for the title deed at handover in December 2028. The sequence is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The launch schedule is a 10% down payment plus the 4% DLD registration fee, seven further instalments of 10% each, and 20% at completion in December 2028. Because 80% of the price falls due during construction, a buyer of a qualifying 2, 3 or 4 bedroom normally reaches the commonly applied paid-value conditions long before the building is finished, which is what makes an application during the construction period realistic rather than theoretical.

The property route currently carries a 10 year term that is renewable for as long as the qualifying investment is held and the conditions in force at renewal are still met. Term length, renewal and the wider entitlements are program level rules rather than anything specific to Marina Views, and they are covered in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

Family sponsorship is one of the standard features of the property based Golden Visa, and holders can generally sponsor a spouse and children subject to the documentation and conditions in force at the time of application. The qualifying unit still has to clear AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own, which at Marina Views means a 2 bedroom or larger. The paperwork required for dependents is listed in the Golden Visa application guide.

Yes. The property route rests on ownership held in the buyer's own name, and Marina Views is freehold and open to all nationalities, so foreign buyers own the apartment outright rather than on a lease. Freehold status by itself does not create eligibility: the registered value still has to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, which at Marina Views means a 2 bedroom or larger.

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.
