Palace Residences Hillside Golden Visa

Three of the four. 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.51M ≈ USD 683K, 3 bedroom apartments at AED 4.77M ≈ USD 1.30M and 3 bedroom townhouses at AED 6.34M ≈ USD 1.73M, so each clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on a single title. The 1 bedroom tier starts at AED 1.71M ≈ USD 466K and sits below the line. Full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Not on its own. At a starting price of AED 1.71M ≈ USD 466K the registered purchase value falls short of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, and eligibility is assessed on that registered value rather than on the amount paid to date. Buyers at this tier either move up to a 2 bedroom apartment from AED 2.51M ≈ USD 683K or combine the unit with a second qualifying property, subject to the rules in force at the time of application.

Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Those conditions are updated from time to time, so the current requirement is the one that governs a file. Buyers who prefer the simplest possible application wait for the title deed issued at handover in June 2029. The sequence is explained in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The plan is 10 percent on booking plus the 4 percent DLD registration fee, 70 percent across seven instalments of 10 percent dated December 2025 to July 2028, and 20 percent on completion in June 2029. The instalment dates are fixed to the calendar rather than counted from the booking date, so a buyer reserving later in the schedule settles the instalments already fallen due at reservation and reaches the commonly applied paid-value conditions earlier than the headline 10 percent suggests.

Yes. The project is freehold and open to all nationalities, registered at the Dubai Land Department under project number 4015 on plot 5410 in Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid, and registered ownership at the department is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility. Buyer payments run through the DLD-registered escrow account held at First Abu Dhabi Bank, detailed on the Palace Residences Hillside escrow account page.

Oqood is the interim registration that records an off-plan sale against project 4015 in the Dubai Land Department system while the building is under construction. The title deed replaces it once the project completes and the unit is handed over, expected June 2029. Both evidence ownership for a residency file, but the conditions applied to an off-plan application differ from those applied to a completed, title-deed property.

The property investment route currently carries a 10-year renewable residency term. Renewal is assessed against the requirements in force at that time and against continued ownership of the qualifying property. Term details, family sponsorship and the wider entitlements are covered in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

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. A qualifying purchase makes an applicant eligible to apply, and approval depends on satisfying every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Certified construction progress on the project, 7.87 percent at the 05 May 2026 inspection, is published cycle by cycle on the Palace Residences Hillside construction updates page.
