Marine 3 at DAMAC Riverside Views Golden Visa

Both apartment types sit below it. 1 bedroom apartments at Marine 3 at DAMAC Riverside Views start at AED 880K ≈ USD 240K, which is AED 1.12M ≈ USD 305K under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold, and 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.315M ≈ USD 358K, which is AED 685,000 ≈ USD 187K short. Neither type reaches the threshold on its own at the listed starting prices. The full criteria are covered in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

The value that counts is the purchase price registered with the Dubai Land Department for the specific unit: on the Oqood while Marine 3 is under construction, and on the title deed after handover. Registration fees and the amount paid so far do not change that registered value. Because the listed starting prices at Marine 3 are below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, buyers should read the registered value on the SPA and Oqood for the exact unit before assuming any outcome under the rules in force at the time of application.

No. The 4% DLD registration fee is a government charge paid to the Dubai Land Department at booking, alongside the 20% deposit, and it is not part of the purchase price. Only the registered purchase value of the apartment is assessed against the property threshold, so the fee does not narrow the gap for either apartment type at Marine 3.

No. Marine 3 follows the DAMAC Riverside Views regular payment plan of 20% on booking, 60% across 40 instalments scheduled by months from booking, and 20% on completion, and every instalment is part of the same purchase price. Paying ahead or completing the plan raises the amount paid, not the value registered against the apartment. The paid-value conditions commonly applied to off-plan applications only matter where the registered value already meets the threshold, and they are updated from time to time. The schedule for a specific Marine 3 unit is confirmed with DAMAC and in the SPA.

During construction, a Marine 3 purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department through Oqood, the off-plan registration that records the buyer and the purchase value. After handover, expected in Q1 2029, the Oqood gives way to a title deed for the completed apartment. The registered purchase value is normally carried across from one document to the other, so the change of document does not move either apartment type above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. The off-plan side of the process is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

Financing does not change the registered purchase value, so a mortgage neither lifts a Marine 3 apartment toward the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold nor lowers its value. Where a property does meet the threshold, the treatment of a mortgaged property, such as lender confirmation or the share already paid, is set by the regulations in force at the time of application. At the listed Marine 3 starting prices of AED 880K ≈ USD 240K for a 1 bedroom and AED 1.315M ≈ USD 358K for a 2 bedroom, the question does not arise for a single apartment of either type.

Joint ownership splits the registered value of one apartment between its owners rather than adding to it, and how each owner's share is treated, including between spouses, is set by the regulations in force at the time of application. Because a whole Marine 3 apartment starts below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, at AED 880K ≈ USD 240K for a 1 bedroom and AED 1.315M ≈ USD 358K for a 2 bedroom, co-ownership does not bring any owner to the threshold through that apartment.

Three things. First, the registered purchase value of the exact unit on its SPA and Oqood, since both apartment types at Marine 3 start below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold at the listed prices. Second, the criteria in force with the issuing authorities at the time of application, which are updated from time to time. Third, whether a property purchase is the right route at all: property is one of several Golden Visa categories, and the others fall outside the scope of a Marine 3 purchase.

The UAE Golden Visa is currently issued as a 10-year renewable residency, and renewal through the property route depends on continuing to hold a qualifying property under the rules in force at renewal. At Marine 3, neither apartment type reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold on its own at the listed starting prices, so a Marine 3 apartment by itself does not support the visa or its renewal at those prices. What the visa covers is set out in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory and meet the criteria in force, 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. Neither apartment type at Marine 3 reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold on its own at the listed starting prices, and even a purchase that does qualify only makes a buyer eligible to apply: approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks.
