Ocean House Golden Visa

All five residence types. Starting prices are AED 10.56M ≈ USD 2.88M for the 2 bedroom apartments and duplexes, AED 19.20M ≈ USD 5.23M for the 3 bedroom apartments and duplexes, AED 49.28M ≈ USD 13.42M for the 4 bedroom apartments and duplexes, AED 72.8M ≈ USD 19.8M for the 5 bedroom penthouses and AED 61.1M ≈ USD 16.6M for the 6 bedroom Presidential Residence, so each tier sits above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold on a single unit. The authorities read the value registered on your own unit, so check that figure on the Oqood or title deed before applying. For the full criteria, see the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Yes, an application during construction is possible in principle. Off-plan files are usually built on the Oqood registration the developer completes with the Dubai Land Department after the SPA is executed, plus evidence that the registered value reaches the threshold and that any paid-value conditions commonly applied on the day you submit are satisfied. Buyers who prefer a file resting on completed ownership can wait for the title deed issued after completion, which the developer expects in Q4 2026. The off-plan route is covered step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide for Dubai property.

Ellington's published plan asks for 5% at booking, 15% on signing the reservation agreement and 5% at both 60 and 120 days after the reservation date, then six 5% instalments at construction stages from 20% to 70%, with 40% due on completion. The 4% DLD registration fee is paid with the down payment before the SPA is issued; it is a government charge on top of the price and does not count toward the property value assessed for the visa. By the 80.7% register reading recorded on 3 September 2026, all six construction-linked instalments had been triggered, so for an original buyer 60% of the price had fallen due under the plan, and whether a file meets the paid-value conditions in force is checked at submission.

Financing does not automatically rule out an application. The conditions applied to mortgaged property, such as how much of the price must already be paid and whether a lender's letter is required, are set by the authorities and updated from time to time. Because the Ocean House plan leaves 40% due on completion, buyers planning to finance that payment should check the current mortgaged-property conditions before arranging a loan.

Joint purchases are possible, but under the conditions commonly applied each owner's registered share is measured against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold rather than the full price. On the lowest Ocean House starting price of AED 10.56M ≈ USD 2.88M, an equal two-way split would leave each owner with about AED 5.28M ≈ USD 1.44M, although the shares actually registered and the rules in force at application decide the outcome.

The property route has commonly allowed the main holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with the eligible dependants and the documents required defined by the rules in force at the time of application. Family visas follow the main visa, so they depend on the Ocean House owner's own approval first. What the visa covers and does not cover is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The property route currently grants a 10-year residence visa that can be renewed, provided the holder still owns qualifying property and meets the conditions in force at renewal. Selling the Ocean House unit, or holding property registered below the threshold value, can affect renewal, so any resale plan should be weighed against the visa term.

No. A qualifying purchase makes you eligible to apply, while approval rests with the UAE residency authorities (ICP), which check ownership records, documents and standard security requirements against the rules in force at the time. Dated progress toward the title deed is tracked on the Ocean House construction updates page.

No service fee is charged. Buyers who purchase through this advisory have the VIP application service, from preparing the documents to filing and tracking the application, provided free of charge; the government fees set by the issuing authorities still apply and are paid when the application is made.

Yes. Ocean House is freehold and open to buyers of all nationalities. During construction each purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department as an Oqood, and after completion it moves to a title deed in the buyer's name, the registered ownership a property-based application relies on. Layouts, amenities and pricing are covered in the Ocean House project guide.
