Ocean Point at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa

No. Ocean Point's 1 Bedroom Apartments start from AED 1.66M ≈ USD 452K, short of the Golden Visa property value line of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, so a 1 bedroom apartment bought at its starting price does not qualify on its own. The lowest Ocean Point tier that clears the line is the 2 Bedroom Apartments, from AED 2.50M ≈ USD 681K. What is assessed is the value registered for the unit at the Dubai Land Department when the application is filed, and the full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Yes, at current starting prices. The 3 Bedroom Townhouses start from AED 5.79M ≈ USD 1.58M, almost three times the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, so one townhouse clears it on its own under the rules in force at the time of application. The test is the same for both formats at Ocean Point: the registered value of a freehold unit, not whether it is a townhouse or an apartment. Layouts and terraces for each tier are covered in the Ocean Point project guide.

In many cases, yes, for a qualifying unit. An off-plan file commonly relies on the Oqood registration that follows booking, plus evidence that the unit reaches the qualifying value and meets whatever paid-value condition the authorities apply on the filing date; those conditions are updated from time to time. Ocean Point buyers with no deadline can instead file once the title deed is issued at handover, expected in Q2 2028. Each step is explained in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

Ocean Point's plan takes 10% at booking plus the 4% DLD fee, then 80% during construction and 10% on handover in Q2 2028. Because most of the price is paid while the buildings are going up, a buyer of a qualifying Ocean Point unit can often meet the paid-value condition commonly applied to off-plan applications before completion; the exact point depends on the instalment schedule in that buyer's SPA. The fee is a government registration charge and does not count toward the Golden Visa threshold, which is measured on the property value alone.

Mortgaged property can support a Golden Visa application under the framework commonly applied, provided the property value meets the threshold, although the authorities may ask for a letter from the lending bank and may look at the amount already paid; these conditions are updated from time to time. On Ocean Point's 10/80/10 plan, 90% of the price falls due before handover, so buyers who intend to finance should confirm with their bank how much of the construction share it will fund before committing to a unit.

Under the approach commonly applied, each co-owner qualifies only if their own share of the registered value reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. At starting prices, an equal two-way split of an Ocean Point 3 Bedroom Townhouse at AED 5.79M ≈ USD 1.58M gives each owner about AED 2.90M ≈ USD 788K, above the threshold, while an equal split of a 2 Bedroom Apartment at AED 2.50M ≈ USD 681K or a 3 Bedroom Apartment at AED 3.50M ≈ USD 953K leaves each share below it. Rules for spouses and other joint holdings are set by the issuing authorities and change from time to time, so confirm the current position before registering ownership.

The program currently allows a Golden Visa holder to sponsor family members, including a spouse and children, under the conditions in force at the time of application. Sponsorship follows from the visa rather than from the property, so it works the same way whether the qualifying Ocean Point unit is a 2 bedroom apartment, a 3 bedroom apartment or a townhouse. What family sponsorship covers is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The property route currently grants a 10-year residency that is renewable under the program's current terms. Renewal generally depends on still meeting the qualifying conditions at that time, including continued ownership of qualifying property, so selling an Ocean Point unit, or replacing it with property valued below the threshold, can affect a later renewal. Validity and renewal terms are set by the issuing authorities and may change.

It is a residency visa, not citizenship or a UAE passport. It does not reduce the purchase price, the 10/80/10 instalments or the service charges owed on an Ocean Point unit, and it does not pass to a later buyer when the property is sold. It also does not replace the checks made at application, so approval still depends on meeting the requirements in force at that time.

No. Ocean Point buyers who purchase through this advisory receive the VIP Golden Visa application service, from document preparation to submission and status follow-up, without a service fee. The service is free; government fees apply, at the official amounts the issuing authorities publish at the time of application.

No. A qualifying Ocean Point unit gives you the right to file an application; the decision rests with the issuing authorities, who verify ownership, run their usual background screening and apply the requirements in force on the filing date. Progress toward the Q2 2028 handover, when the title deed is issued, is tracked on the Ocean Point construction updates page.
