Palace Residences Hillside B Golden Visa

Three of the four in full, and part of the fourth. 2 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 2.89M ≈ USD 787K, 3 Bedroom Apartments at AED 4.05M ≈ USD 1.10M and 3 Bedroom Townhouses are priced at AED 6.97M ≈ USD 1.90M, so each of these clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold on its own. 1 Bedroom Apartments range from AED 1.96M ≈ USD 534K to AED 2.19M ≈ USD 596K, so only 1 bedroom units priced at the threshold or above meet it alone. Eligibility follows the registered purchase value of your specific unit, and the full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Potentially, yes. An off-plan file usually rests on the Oqood registration that follows a signed sale and purchase agreement, plus evidence that the contract value reaches the threshold and that any paid-value condition in force on the application date is met. A buyer who wants the most straightforward file can instead wait for the title deed issued at handover, expected in Q4 2029. Both routes are compared in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The plan is 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 70% during construction and 20% on completion at the Q4 2029 handover, so 80% of the price is paid while the building is under construction. That construction-period share means most buyers reach the paid-value conditions commonly applied to off-plan applications before completion, so an application during construction is usually possible once the Oqood is registered and the conditions in force on the application date are met; the exact point depends on how Emaar schedules the 70%. The DLD fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the unit price when the purchase is registered, and it does not form part of the qualifying property value.

No. EOI registration for Palace Residences Hillside B is open, with deposits of AED 50K ≈ USD 14K for a 1 Bedroom Apartment, AED 75K ≈ USD 20K for a 2 Bedroom Apartment, AED 100K ≈ USD 27K for a 3 Bedroom Apartment and AED 150K ≈ USD 41K for a 3 Bedroom Townhouse. The EOI requests a place in the unit allocation, which Emaar may accept or decline; it is not a sale contract, an Oqood registration or a title deed. If the offer is accepted, the deposit is applied to the first instalment, the 10% booking payment, when the sale agreement is signed; if it is declined, or not accepted by 30 November 2026 unless both sides agree otherwise in writing, the deposit is refunded to the account it came from, without interest and less bank charges; if an accepted buyer does not sign within 10 days of being invited, or does not pay the first instalment balance on time, the deposit can be forfeited. Eligibility can only be assessed once a specific unit is booked, the sale and purchase agreement is signed and the purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department at a value that meets the threshold.

Only if it is priced at AED 2M ≈ USD 545K or more. 1 Bedroom Apartments range from AED 1.96M ≈ USD 534K to AED 2.19M ≈ USD 596K, so the threshold falls inside the range: a unit with a registered purchase price at or above it can support an application on its own, while an entry 1 bedroom below it cannot. Buyers of a sub-threshold 1 bedroom who combine it with other Dubai property registered in their name may reach the threshold on the total, but acceptance of combined holdings depends on the rules in force at the time of application and should be confirmed before relying on it. The simplest single-unit route without a price check starts with the 2 Bedroom Apartment from AED 2.89M ≈ USD 787K.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered value, so a shared unit supports an application only where the applicant's share reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K under the rules in force. At current prices, an equal two-way split of a 3 Bedroom Townhouse at AED 6.97M ≈ USD 1.90M leaves each share well above that line, a 3 Bedroom Apartment from AED 4.05M ≈ USD 1.10M leaves each share only just above it, and no 2 Bedroom Apartment, even at its top price of AED 3.24M ≈ USD 882K, gives equal shares that reach it. Spouses buying together may be treated differently, so the ownership structure should be checked before the sale and purchase agreement is signed.

Mortgaged property is commonly accepted for the property route, with the authorities looking at the registered purchase value alongside documentation from the lending bank and any conditions on the amount already paid. Under the 80/20 plan, 80% of the price is paid during construction and 20% on completion, so buyers planning to finance a Palace Residences Hillside B residence should confirm both the lender's terms and the current visa conditions before booking.

The 10-year renewable Golden Visa, in its current form, generally allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the conditions in force when the family applications are filed. Dependants are added to the main investor's file rather than needing their own qualifying property. What the residency covers, and what it does not, is explained in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

No. A qualifying purchase opens the door to an application; the decision still rests with the authorities, who apply the requirements current on the filing date, verify ownership and run their usual security screening.
