Meriva Sunset Golden Visa

All six current tiers. 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 3.06M ≈ USD 832K, 2 bedroom apartments at AED 4.31M ≈ USD 1.17M, 3 bedroom apartments at AED 6.67M ≈ USD 1.82M and 4 bedroom dual aspect apartments at AED 11.81M ≈ USD 3.21M, while 3 bedroom penthouses run from AED 12.00M to AED 15.00M ≈ USD 3.27M to USD 4.08M and 4 bedroom penthouses from AED 17.00M to AED 22.00M ≈ USD 4.63M to USD 5.99M. Each sits above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own. Eligibility is judged on the registered value of the specific unit under the rules in force when the application is made, and the full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Usually, yes, once the conditions in force at the time are met. An off-plan application at Meriva Sunset rests on the Oqood registration that Ellington Properties completes with the Dubai Land Department after the SPA is executed, plus evidence that the registered price clears the qualifying value and that any paid-amount condition current on the day of filing is satisfied. Buyers who would rather apply on a title deed can wait for handover, expected in Q2 2030. Both routes are compared in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The plan is 20% at booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 10% at 60 days and 5% each at 120, 180, 240 and 360 days after the reservation date, four 5% instalments on completion of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% construction of the project, and 30% on completion. Because 50% of the price is due within 360 days of the buyer's own reservation date, the amount paid builds on a fixed calendar whatever the construction stage, which is what the commonly applied paid-amount conditions for off-plan applications look at. The registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department and is not part of the purchase value assessed for eligibility. The complete schedule is set out in the Meriva Sunset project guide.

Joint ownership is commonly accepted, but each owner's share of the registered value has generally been assessed against AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and the treatment of spouses and the exact share rules are set by the residency authorities and updated from time to time. As an illustration, an equal two-way split of a 2 bedroom apartment at AED 4.31M ≈ USD 1.17M gives each owner about AED 2.16M ≈ USD 587K, while an equal split of a 1 bedroom apartment at AED 3.06M ≈ USD 832K leaves each share below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Confirm the rule in force before choosing how to register the title.

Mortgaged property has generally been accepted for property-based Golden Visa applications, typically with a no-objection letter from the lending bank and subject to the value and payment conditions in force at the time of application. At Meriva Sunset the instalments before handover are paid to the developer under the 70/30 plan, so mortgage finance, where a buyer uses it, would typically apply to the 30% due on completion, expected in Q2 2030.

The property-based Golden Visa has commonly allowed the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with the qualifying ages, documents and any additional dependants set by the rules in force at the time of application. Sponsorship follows the main visa, so the Meriva Sunset unit still has to meet the qualifying value on its own. What the visa does and does not cover for dependants is explained in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal has generally depended on still holding qualifying property at the time, so selling a Meriva Sunset unit, or keeping one registered below the qualifying value, affects renewal under the rules in force when it falls due.

No. Meriva Sunset buyers who complete their purchase through this advisory receive the VIP application service, from document preparation to submission and status follow-up, with no service charge. Government fees remain payable at the rates the issuing authorities set when the application is filed.

No. A qualifying purchase allows a buyer to apply, and the decision rests with the UAE authorities, who check ownership registration, the qualifying value and standard background requirements under the rules in force at the time of application. Progress toward the title deed can be followed on the Meriva Sunset construction updates page.
