Eligibility Snapshot
Nautica Two Golden Visa Facts
Nautica Two is a 328-apartment freehold tower by Select Group in Dubai Maritime City, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 2783 on 12 October 2023, with a total registered built-up area of 22,983.78 sq m and recorded at 64.34% progress at the latest RERA inspection on 24 April 2026. What matters for residency planning is where the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment falls across the price list: every two-bedroom apartment, from AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, clears the threshold on its own, while one-bedrooms run from AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K to AED 2.30M ≈ USD 625K, so only the one-bedrooms priced at or above AED 2M reach the line. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value and on the regulations in force when you apply. Handover is expected in Q4 2026, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Nautica Two Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
The AED 2M ≈ USD 545K residency line runs straight through the Nautica Two price list rather than sitting below it, so the qualifying decision depends on the typology and, for one-bedrooms, the specific unit. Two-bedroom apartments start well above the threshold and clear it on their own. One-bedrooms open below the line at the entry price and cross it only once the contract value reaches AED 2M, which is where reading the price band, not just the brochure headline, matters.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 615 to 734 sq ft (57.13 to 68.18 sq m) | AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K | Only above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,000 to 1,032 sq ft (92.92 to 95.87 sq m) | AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K | Yes |
| Every two-bedroom qualifies on its own. One-bedrooms qualify only when the purchase price reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a one-bedroom at the AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K entry price sits below the threshold and would not qualify on its own, while a one-bedroom contracted at or above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and every two-bedroom, does. Confirm the exact contract value on your specific unit before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Nautica Two Can Apply
Nautica Two sells on a 40/60 plan: an AED 50K ≈ USD 14K reservation, the balance to 20% within 14 days of reservation, a further 20% within six months, and 60% on completion, plus the 4% DLD fee. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Select Group completes after 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: the property route only opens once the registered value is at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, so a buyer set on residency should choose a two-bedroom or a one-bedroom contracted above the line before anything else. From there the 40/60 structure gives two realistic windows. Buyers relocating families or opening UAE bank accounts usually want residency early and can apply on the strength of their Oqood-registered contract once the applicable paid-value conditions are met during the construction period, which runs to Q4 2026. Investors with no urgency often prefer the simplest possible file: wait for handover, when the title deed is issued and the application rests on completed, registered ownership. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me, 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.

Nautica Two Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Every two-bedroom apartment does, starting at AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, so it qualifies on its own. One-bedrooms run from AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K to AED 2.30M ≈ USD 625K, which means only the one-bedrooms priced at or above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K reach the line. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so always confirm the contract value of your specific unit. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Only some of them. The one-bedroom band opens below the threshold at AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K and rises to AED 2.30M ≈ USD 625K, so a one-bedroom qualifies alone only when its registered purchase price is at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. A one-bedroom below that value does not qualify on its own, while every two-bedroom, from AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, clears the threshold comfortably.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed at handover in Q4 2026. The process is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is an AED 50K ≈ USD 14K reservation, the balance to 20% within 14 days, a further 20% within six months, and 60% on completion, plus the 4% DLD fee. Because 40% is paid before completion, many buyers reach the commonly applied paid-value conditions well ahead of handover, so an application during construction is usually possible once the current conditions are met and the registered value is at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K.
Yes. Nautica Two is freehold and open to all nationalities, with full ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility.

No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, 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.
