Palace by the Beach at Emaar Beachfront Golden Visa

The UAE Golden Visa property route currently applies a minimum investment of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and the residency it grants runs for 10 years and is renewable under the program's current terms. Palace by the Beach at Emaar Beachfront is freehold and open to all nationalities, and its lowest expected price, AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M for a 1 bedroom apartment, sits well above that minimum, subject to the regulations in force at the time of application. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

All five expected tiers: 1 bedroom apartments from AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M, 2 bedroom apartments from AED 6.50M ≈ USD 1.77M, 3 bedroom apartments from AED 10.50M ≈ USD 2.86M, 4 bedroom apartments from AED 18.00M ≈ USD 4.90M and penthouses from AED 35.00M ≈ USD 9.53M. Each is above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold as a single purchase. Because these are expected figures, the contract value of the specific unit is what counts when the application is made.

On the final price. The figures published for Palace by the Beach are expected prices released ahead of Emaar's official price list, and eligibility is assessed on the purchase price recorded in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and, after completion, in the title record. With the entry tier expected at AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M, the margin above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold is wide, but the registered figure for the buyer's own unit is the one to confirm.

Off-plan applications are commonly based on Oqood registration of the purchase, together with evidence that the qualifying value and any paid-share conditions in force at submission are met, and those conditions are updated from time to time. Buyers who prefer to wait can apply on the title deed once Palace by the Beach is handed over, which is expected in November 2031. Both routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The expected plan asks for 10% on booking, with the 4% DLD registration fee due at the same step, then 70% during construction and 20% on completion. The registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department and is not part of the purchase price on which eligibility is assessed. Emaar has not yet published the instalment dates for the 70% construction share, so the point at which a buyer's paid share meets any condition applied to off-plan applications cannot be dated yet; the Sale and Purchase Agreement will set that schedule.

Joint ownership is commonly accepted for the property route, with the qualifying value usually assessed on each owner's registered share rather than on the full purchase price, under the rules in force at the time of application. Co-buyers at Palace by the Beach should therefore confirm how their individual shares will be valued against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold before the Sale and Purchase Agreement is signed.

Financed purchases are commonly considered for the property route, with the documents required on a mortgaged home, including those from the lending bank, set by the conditions in force at the time of application. Lending on off-plan homes is less widely offered than finance on completed property, so buyers at Palace by the Beach often rely on the developer's payment plan during construction. The documents and steps involved are listed in the UAE Golden Visa application guide.

The Golden Visa program currently allows holders to sponsor family members, commonly a spouse and children, with each dependant's residency linked to the main holder's visa and subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. Who can be included, and on what terms, is covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

No. The VIP application service is free for buyers who complete their purchase through this advisory, covering file preparation, submission and progress tracking; only the official government fees apply, at the rates the issuing authorities publish when the application is made.

No. A qualifying purchase makes a buyer eligible to apply, but the decision rests with the issuing authorities, which check ownership records, the qualifying value and the standard background requirements in force at the time of application. Progress toward the November 2031 handover, which determines when a title deed can support the file, is recorded on the Palace by the Beach construction updates guide.
