ORLA, Dorchester Collection Golden Visa

All of them. 2 Bedroom Residences start at AED 22.39M ≈ USD 6.10M, 3 Bedroom Residences at AED 28.50M ≈ USD 7.76M, 4 Bedroom Residences at AED 52.22M ≈ USD 14.22M and Super Penthouses at AED 145.00M ≈ USD 39.48M, while the Luna Sky Palace is listed at AED 412.50M ≈ USD 112.32M. No ORLA tier sits below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, so none needs combining with another property. ORLA is freehold and open to all nationalities, and eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the contract under the rules in force at the time of application. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Off-plan applications are typically supported by the Oqood registration of the purchase and proof that it meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. The alternative is to wait for the title deed issued at handover, expected in Q4 2026 against a registered completion date of 31 December 2026. Both routes are explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The ORLA launch plan is a 5% booking fee plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 20% on signing the SPA, 10% at 12 months and 15% at 24 months from the SPA, and 50% on completion. On the lowest tier, the 25% paid by SPA signing already amounts to AED 5.60M ≈ USD 1.52M, more than the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold itself, so the size of the payments is unlikely to be the limiting factor; the conditions in force at the time of application decide. The launch schedule was set for early buyers, so buyers of the remaining units confirm current terms with OMNIYAT; the plan is set out on the ORLA, Dorchester Collection project guide.

Both are commonly accepted, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. For jointly owned property the qualifying value is usually assessed on each owner's share; split equally between two owners, even the lowest-priced 2 Bedroom Residence at AED 22.39M ≈ USD 6.10M gives each share about AED 11.20M ≈ USD 3.05M. For a mortgaged purchase, additional conditions such as a letter from the lending bank and a minimum amount already paid are commonly applied, and these requirements are updated from time to time.

Property-based Golden Visa holders can commonly sponsor a spouse and children, and in some cases other dependants, under the sponsorship rules in force at the time of application. Family members apply as dependants of the principal holder, and their residency is generally tied to that holder's visa. What family sponsorship covers is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal commonly depends on still holding qualifying property, so an owner who sells an ORLA residence would need another qualifying asset to renew on the same basis. The term and renewal conditions are those in force at the time of application or renewal.

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.

No. An ORLA purchase makes the buyer eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. The latest RERA inspection readings for the building are tracked on the ORLA, Dorchester Collection construction updates page.

The visa is a residency permit, not citizenship or a passport, and it does not change the purchase itself: the price, the 4% DLD registration fee, service charges and the payment schedule owed to OMNIYAT stay the same. It does not replace the Oqood or the title deed as proof of ownership, and it lapses as a basis for renewal if the qualifying property is sold. How instalments are held during construction is covered on the ORLA, Dorchester Collection escrow account page.
