Nautica One Golden Visa

Eligibility Snapshot

Nautica One Golden Visa Facts

Nautica One is a 328-apartment freehold waterfront tower by Select Group on the Dubai Maritime City peninsula, one of the two Nautica Towers, with handover expected in Q4 2026 and payments held in the project's Dubai Land Department registered escrow account. The detail that matters for residency planning: one bedroom apartments are priced from AED 1.40M ≈ USD 381K to AED 1.90M ≈ USD 517K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, while two bedroom apartments from AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K to AED 2.60M ≈ USD 708K clear that line on their own, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. So the residency decision here is really a decision between tiers, and the two bedroom apartment is the qualifying entry point. At handover in Q4 2026, Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Payment Plan and Timing

When Off-Plan Buyers at Nautica One Can Apply

A qualifying two bedroom purchase at Nautica One runs on Select Group's completion-weighted plan: 20% on reservation and registration (AED 50K ≈ USD 14K to reserve, with the balance due within 14 days), 20% within six months of reservation, and 60% on completion, with the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee payable separately as on every Dubai purchase. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which follows booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time you apply.

My read on the timing: because 40% of the price falls due before completion, most qualifying buyers reach the commonly applied paid-value conditions during the construction period rather than at the very end. That gives two realistic windows. Buyers relocating families or opening UAE bank accounts often want residency early, and can apply on the strength of the Oqood-registered contract once the applicable paid-value conditions are met. Buyers with no urgency frequently prefer the simplest file, and with handover close in Q4 2026 they can wait for the title deed and apply on completed, registered ownership. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.
