Eligibility Snapshot
Marine 4 at DAMAC Riverside Views Golden Visa Facts
Marine 4 is a 276-residence apartment building by DAMAC Properties in DAMAC Riverside Views, registered with the Dubai Land Department as "Damac Riverside Views - Marine 4" under project number 3375 on 22 November 2024, with construction started on 29 January 2025 on a G+2P+8 configuration, per the DLD's description. The Dubai Land Department project register shows 21.17% progress recorded on 26 August 2026, with the main contract progressing. For residency planning the decisive figures are the prices: 1 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 880K ≈ USD 240K and 2 Bedroom Apartments at AED 1.31M ≈ USD 358K, so neither apartment type reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value applied under the UAE Golden Visa program on its own, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. The DLD record lists a registered completion date of 31 May 2028; the expected handover for Marine 4 is Q1 2029. The contractual completion date is the one in the SPA.

Unit by Unit
How Marine 4 Apartments Measure Against the AED 2M Threshold
At Marine 4 the residency question and the purchase question point in different directions. Both apartment types are priced well under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, so a buyer here is choosing an entry point into DAMAC Riverside rather than a Golden Visa property. That is better known before a reservation than discovered at the application stage, and the table below shows the distance tier by tier.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartments | 678 to 988 sq ft (63 to 92 sq m) | AED 880K ≈ USD 240K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartments | 987 to 1,568 sq ft (92 to 146 sq m) | AED 1.31M ≈ USD 358K | No |
| Neither apartment type reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own at the listed prices. The 2 bedroom is closest, AED 690,000 ≈ USD 188K short. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the value registered with the Dubai Land Department, on the Oqood during construction and on the title deed after completion, so the figure that counts is the contract price, not the amount paid so far. At AED 1.31M ≈ USD 358K a 2 bedroom apartment stays AED 690,000 ≈ USD 188K under the line whichever document records it. Confirm the registered value of your specific unit, and the threshold in force on your application date, before building any residency plan around this purchase.
Payment Plan and Timing
What the Marine 4 Payment Plan Means for a Residency Plan
Marine 4 sells on the DAMAC Riverside Views regular payment plan, an 80/20 structure: 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 60% in 40 instalments scheduled by months from booking (most of them 1% each, four of them 6%), and 20% on completion. This is DAMAC's regular payment plan for the DAMAC Riverside Views release that includes Marine 4; confirm the schedule that applies to your unit with DAMAC and in the SPA. As an illustration on a 2 bedroom apartment at AED 1.31M ≈ USD 358K (USD at 3.6725, rounded): AED 262,000 ≈ USD 71K on booking with a registration fee of AED 52,400 ≈ USD 14K, AED 786,000 ≈ USD 214K across the 40 instalments (a 1% instalment is AED 13,100 ≈ USD 4K, a 6% instalment AED 78,600 ≈ USD 21K), and AED 262,000 ≈ USD 71K on completion.
My read on the timing: on most off-plan projects the payment plan decides when a buyer can apply, because paid-value conditions are commonly applied to Oqood-based applications and are updated from time to time. At Marine 4 the plan does not move the outcome. Paying faster raises the amount paid, not the value registered on the Oqood or, after the expected Q1 2029 handover, on the title deed, and the registered value is what is measured against the threshold. The two application windows that matter on qualifying projects, during construction or after handover, lead to the same answer here at the listed prices. What the calendar-based plan does offer is a predictable outlay, which leaves room for any residency plan to be organised separately and on its own terms.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me and are eligible to apply, the full application service, document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. You pay only the official government fees published by the issuing authorities.
The Project
Marine 4 Judged as a Place to Live
With the threshold out of reach at these prices, the case for Marine 4 rests on the apartment itself: the layouts, the regular payment plan, the planned community amenities and the DAMAC Riverside setting in Dubai Investment Park 2. The full project guide covers each of them.

Marine 4 at DAMAC Riverside Views Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Neither, at the listed prices. 1 Bedroom Apartments at Marine 4 start at AED 880K ≈ USD 240K and 2 Bedroom Apartments at AED 1.31M ≈ USD 358K, while the property route to the UAE Golden Visa applies a minimum value of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. The 2 bedroom is the closer of the two and still sits AED 690,000 ≈ USD 188K short. The full criteria for the program are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
The purchase value registered with the Dubai Land Department: the Oqood while Marine 4 is under construction, and the title deed after completion. The amount a buyer has paid so far is a separate figure and does not replace the registered value. How that value is assessed follows the regulations in force on the date of application, so the registered value of the specific unit should be confirmed before any residency plan relies on it.
No. The 4% DLD registration fee is a government charge paid to the Dubai Land Department at booking, alongside the 20% deposit, and on a 2 bedroom apartment at AED 1.31M ≈ USD 358K it comes to AED 52,400 ≈ USD 14K. It is not part of the purchase value recorded on the Oqood or the title deed, so it does not move a Marine 4 apartment any closer to the threshold.
Marine 4 uses the DAMAC Riverside Views regular payment plan: 20% on booking, 60% in 40 instalments scheduled by months from booking, and 20% on completion. Paid-value conditions are commonly applied to off-plan applications and are updated from time to time, but paying faster changes only the amount paid, not the registered purchase value, so the plan does not change how either apartment type compares with the threshold. DAMAC issues this as its regular plan for the DAMAC Riverside Views release that includes Marine 4, and the schedule for a specific unit is the one confirmed with DAMAC and in the SPA.
Not for the threshold outcome at the listed prices. Before handover an application would rest on the Oqood registration; after the expected Q1 2029 handover it would rest on the title deed. Both documents record the same purchase value, so the comparison with the threshold is the same in either window. The general differences between the two routes are covered in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
Mortgaged property can be considered under the property route, subject to the conditions set by the authorities and the lending bank at the time of application, which are updated from time to time. A mortgage changes how the purchase is funded, not the registered purchase value, so it does not bring a Marine 4 apartment at the listed prices up to the threshold.
For jointly owned property, the authorities commonly look at each owner's share of the registered value under the rules in force at application. At Marine 4, where both apartment types already sit below the threshold, sharing ownership lowers each person's share further rather than closing the gap.
Three points, in writing: the registered purchase value of the specific unit on the reservation form and the SPA; the property threshold and any off-plan conditions in force at the expected time of application; and whether the purchase is meant to serve residency at all. At the listed prices neither apartment type reaches the threshold on its own, so a residency goal needs its own plan, settled before the reservation rather than after it.
Under the program's current terms the property Golden Visa runs for 10 years and is renewable, with renewal depending on continued ownership of qualifying property and the rules in force at renewal. Because neither Marine 4 apartment type reaches the threshold on its own at the listed prices, these terms apply only where a qualifying property is held. Residency benefits are explained in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory and are eligible to apply, 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. At the listed prices neither apartment type reaches the property threshold on its own, and even for a qualifying property, approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Property is one of several routes to UAE residency. Construction status for the building is tracked on the Marine 4 construction updates page.
