Mauritius at DAMAC Islands 2 Golden Visa

All four. The 4 bedroom townhouse (mid unit) is priced at AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K, the 5 bedroom townhouse at AED 3.75M ≈ USD 1.02M, the 5 bedroom twin villa at AED 5.0M ≈ USD 1.36M and the 6 bedroom luxury villa at AED 9.70M ≈ USD 2.64M, so each layout sits above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on its own, subject to the regulations in force at the time of application. No Mauritius layout is priced below the threshold. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

The 4 bedroom townhouse (mid unit), at AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K for about 2,208 sq ft (205 sq m). That leaves a margin of AED 0.75M ≈ USD 204K over the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Developer prices can be revised between releases, so the figure that counts is the registered purchase value of your specific unit. Layouts and floor areas are compared on the Mauritius at DAMAC Islands 2 project page.

Off-plan applications are commonly accepted on the strength of the Oqood-registered purchase contract, provided the contract value reaches the minimum and any paid-value condition in force at the time of application has been met. Mauritius is freehold and open to all nationalities, so the purchase is registered in the buyer's name from the Oqood stage. Buyers without a deadline often hold off until the title deed is issued after the expected June 2030 handover, which gives the authorities a completed ownership record to assess. The off-plan route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The plan is a 20% deposit on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, then 55% over 47 monthly instalments due from month 3 to month 49 after the sale date, and 25% on completion. Because the schedule is time-based, the paid share at any date is predictable: 20% at booking, 52% after the 24th instalment and 75% after the 47th. An application during construction becomes possible once the paid-value condition in force at that time is met, and the registration fee is a government charge paid on top of the purchase price rather than part of it.

Mortgaged property has commonly been accepted for the property-based route, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application, which can include a no-objection letter from the lending bank and rules on the value or share already paid. For an off-plan purchase such as Mauritius, any financing has to sit alongside DAMAC's time-based instalment schedule, so confirm both the lender's terms and the current residency requirement before relying on a mortgage for eligibility.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered value, and spouses can be treated differently, under the rules in force at the time of application. As simple arithmetic on an equal split, two owners of a 6 bedroom luxury villa at AED 9.70M ≈ USD 2.64M would each hold AED 4.85M ≈ USD 1.32M, above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, while two owners of a 4 bedroom townhouse at AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K would each hold AED 1.375M ≈ USD 374K, below it. Confirm how the authorities treat your specific ownership split before purchase.

The property-based Golden Visa commonly allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, and in some cases other dependants, under the rules in force at the time of application. Each dependant's residency is usually linked to the main holder's visa, so it continues while the qualifying property is held and the main visa remains valid. Sponsorship terms are covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal commonly depends on still owning qualifying property at the value required when the renewal falls due, so selling the Mauritius unit, or holding a share below the requirement, can affect it. Terms are set by the residency authorities and are updated from time to time, so check the rules that apply at renewal.

The usual sequence is: sign the sale contract and complete Oqood registration with the Dubai Land Department, obtain the ownership and valuation documents the authorities request, submit the residency application, then complete the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics before the visa is issued. Processing time depends on the authorities' workload and on how complete the file is at submission. Each stage is set out in the UAE Golden Visa application guide.

No. Buyers who purchase through Tohid Fetrat have the VIP application service, which handles file preparation, lodging and status tracking, provided free of charge. Government fees are not covered: they remain payable at the rates the issuing authorities set when the application is made.

It is a residency visa, not citizenship or a passport, and buying the unit makes you eligible to apply rather than guaranteeing approval: the authorities verify ownership and value and run standard background checks under the requirements in force at the time of application. The visa also leaves the obligations of ownership unchanged, including the remaining instalments to the developer and community service charges.
