MJL Nourelle Golden Visa

Every Apartment Type Clears the Threshold Alone

From the 1 bedroom at AED 3.68M ≈ USD 1.00M to the 4 bedroom at AED 19.37M ≈ USD 5.28M, every MJL Nourelle apartment type is priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K Golden Visa threshold. Here is how each tier lines up, what the dated 75/25 schedule means for an off-plan application, and what changes at the expected June 2029 handover.

Eligibility Snapshot

MJL Nourelle Golden Visa Facts

MJL Nourelle is a freehold project of 236 residential units by Meraas in Madinat Jumeirah Living (MJL), entered in the Dubai Land Department register as project number 4108 on 02 October 2025, with construction recorded as started on 07 December 2025 and a DLD register reading of 3.95% at the inspection of 14 July 2026, when enabling and piling works were progressing on site. For residency planning, the figure that decides the question is the entry price: the 1 bedroom apartment starts at AED 3.68M ≈ USD 1.00M, so even the smallest layout sits well above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value for the UAE Golden Visa, judged under the rules in force on the date you apply. Because a single apartment of any type clears the line, the choice at Nourelle comes down to layout and budget rather than reaching the threshold. Handover is expected in June 2029, when the Oqood registration gives way to a title deed.

Unit by Unit

Which MJL Nourelle Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold

At most Dubai price points the Golden Visa conversation is about finding a unit that reaches the minimum. At Nourelle the question runs the other way: the smallest 1 bedroom already starts at more than one and a half times the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, so every tier, up to the 4 bedroom residence crowning the project, qualifies on its own. What separates the five types for a residency buyer is space, terraces and budget, not eligibility.

Unit TypeSize RangeStarting PriceQualifies Alone
1 Bedroom Apartments≈ 742 to 1,078 sq ft (69 to 100 sq m)AED 3.68M ≈ USD 1.00MYes
2 Bedroom Apartments≈ 1,135 to 2,319 sq ft (105 to 215 sq m)AED 4.35M ≈ USD 1.19MYes
2 Bedroom + Maid Apartments≈ 1,504 to 1,903 sq ft (140 to 177 sq m)AED 6.36M ≈ USD 1.73MYes
3 Bedroom Apartments≈ 1,925 to 3,926 sq ft (179 to 365 sq m)AED 8.36M ≈ USD 2.28MYes
4 Bedroom Apartments≈ 5,623 sq ft (522 sq m)AED 19.37M ≈ USD 5.28MYes
All five MJL Nourelle apartment types start above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K and qualify individually at their starting prices.
!

Why this matters: eligibility follows the registered purchase value, meaning the price on your Oqood now and on your title deed after handover, and that price must itself be at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Current Nourelle starting prices sit far above it, but the rule also applies on the secondary market: an apartment acquired later for less than AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not support an application by itself, so check the registered value of the exact unit before you file.

Payment Plan and Timing

Golden Visa Timing Against the MJL Nourelle Payment Schedule

MJL Nourelle follows the developer's dated 75/25 schedule: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), then instalments of 10% in March 2026, 5% in July 2026, 10% in December 2026, 10% in May 2027, 10% in October 2027 and 10% in March 2028, and 25% on completion, June 2029. On the developer's dates, cumulative payments reach 35% after July 2026, 55% after May 2027 and 75% after March 2028. The March 2026 and July 2026 dates already lie in the past, so the schedule that applies to a purchase made today, including any catch-up amount due at booking, is the one Meraas confirms in the SPA at booking. Before handover, an application usually rests on the Oqood registration that follows booking and on proof that the registered price reaches the qualifying level, alongside any paid-value condition the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities apply on the day you file.

My read on the timing: with handover expected in June 2029 and the DLD register at 3.95% on 14 July 2026, Nourelle buyers are looking at a long off-plan period, and that shapes which of two windows suits them. Buyers who need residency soon, for a family move or UAE banking, can aim to file during construction using the Oqood-registered SPA once the commonly applied paid-value conditions are satisfied, and the schedule places three quarters of the price before the final instalment. Buyers without urgency can let the build run its course and file once the title deed confirms completed, registered ownership, which keeps the paperwork simplest. Off-plan conditions are revised from time to time, so the paid-value rule in force on the day you file is the one to check.

FAQs

MJL Nourelle Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions

All five. Starting prices are AED 3.68M ≈ USD 1.00M for 1 bedroom, AED 4.35M ≈ USD 1.19M for 2 bedroom, AED 6.36M ≈ USD 1.73M for 2 bedroom + maid, AED 8.36M ≈ USD 2.28M for 3 bedroom and AED 19.37M ≈ USD 5.28M for 4 bedroom apartments, so each type sits above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own. What is assessed is the price registered for your specific unit, which must itself be at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

An off-plan application is possible in principle. It usually relies on the Oqood registration made after booking, proof that the registered price reaches the qualifying level, and whichever paid-value condition the authorities apply on the date you file, a condition updated from time to time. Buyers who prefer to file on completed ownership can hold off until the title deed is issued at the expected June 2029 handover. Both routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

No. The 4% DLD registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department at booking, on top of the purchase price, and is not part of the registered purchase value. Eligibility is measured on the price registered for the apartment itself, and every MJL Nourelle starting price already clears the threshold without any fees added.

The developer's dated 75/25 schedule asks for 20% on booking, six instalments totalling 55% dated between March 2026 and March 2028, and a final 25% instalment. On the developer's dates, the cumulative share reaches 75% after March 2028. Because the March 2026 and July 2026 dates have already passed, the schedule for a purchase made now is confirmed by Meraas in the SPA at booking, and the point at which a buyer meets any paid-value condition depends on that confirmed schedule and the rules in force when the application is filed.

Yes. MJL Nourelle is freehold and open to all nationalities, and ownership is registered with the Dubai Land Department, first as Oqood and later as a title deed, which is the registration a property-based Golden Visa application relies on. Layouts, prices and the payment schedule are covered in the MJL Nourelle project guide.

Joint ownership is commonly accepted when each owner's share of the registered value meets AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, under the conditions in force at the time of application. At MJL Nourelle the arithmetic depends on the type: an equal two-way split of the 1 bedroom starting price of AED 3.68M ≈ USD 1.00M leaves each share at AED 1.84M ≈ USD 501K, below the line, while an equal split of the 3 bedroom starting price of AED 8.36M ≈ USD 2.28M leaves each share at AED 4.18M ≈ USD 1.14M. Check the share each owner will hold before structuring the purchase.

Mortgaged property is commonly accepted for a Golden Visa, usually with a letter from the lending bank and subject to the conditions in force at the time of application, which can include how much of the property value has been paid. Off-plan financing at MJL Nourelle depends on the lender, and the qualifying value is still the registered purchase price of the apartment.

The property Golden Visa is currently a 10-year renewable residence, and holders are commonly able to sponsor a spouse and children under the conditions in force at the time of application. Dependant rules and the limits of the residence it grants are explained in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

No. When the apartment is bought through this advisory, the VIP application service, which prepares the documents, files the application and tracks its status, carries no charge. The service is free; government fees apply, at the rates the issuing authorities set when the application is filed.

No. A qualifying purchase gives you the right to submit an application, while the decision rests with the UAE authorities, who check ownership, run their standard security screening and apply every requirement in force on the filing date. Progress toward the title deed is followed on the MJL Nourelle construction updates page.
