Eligibility Snapshot
Palm Beach Tower 1 Golden Visa Facts
Palm Beach Tower 1 is a 278-unit freehold residential tower by Nakheel at the Palm Gateway entrance of Palm Jumeirah, registered with the Dubai Land Department on 22 June 2022 as Palm Beach Towers -1 (project number 2406, plot 2059). Construction started on 1 December 2022, and the Dubai Land Department project register recorded a reading of 82.83% at the 12 August 2026 inspection. For residency planning, the figure that settles the question is the entry price: the 1 bedroom apartments open at AED 3.25M ≈ USD 885K, which is AED 1.25M ≈ USD 340K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value used for the UAE Golden Visa, subject to the rules in force at the time of application. On Palm Jumeirah that margin means no tier in the tower forces a trade between the unit you want and the unit that qualifies. Handover is scheduled for Q4 2026, when the Oqood registration gives way to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Palm Beach Tower 1 Residences Meet the AED 2M Threshold
The usual Golden Visa sorting exercise on a Dubai tower, separating small 1 bedroom units from the stock that qualifies, has nothing to sort at Palm Beach Tower 1. The lowest entry, a 1 bedroom apartment from AED 3.25M ≈ USD 885K, already sits well clear of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, so choosing between a 921 sq ft apartment and a duplex penthouse of 8,500+ sq ft is a question of lifestyle and capital rather than of residency.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartments | 921 to 1,168 sq ft (86 to 109 sq m) | AED 3.25M ≈ USD 885K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom Apartments | 1,550 to 1,994 sq ft (144 to 185 sq m) | AED 5.20M ≈ USD 1.42M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartments | 2,150 to 2,745 sq ft (200 to 255 sq m) | AED 9.50M ≈ USD 2.59M | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Apartments & Duplex Penthouses | 3,100 to 8,500+ sq ft (288 to 790+ sq m) | AED 18.00M ≈ USD 4.90M | Yes |
| All four tiers at Palm Beach Tower 1 qualify individually, from the 1 bedroom apartments up to the duplex penthouses. | |||
What the authorities look at: eligibility is assessed on the purchase value registered for your specific unit, so a 1 bedroom apartment registered at AED 3.25M ≈ USD 885K stays above the threshold throughout the Oqood stage. A secondary-market purchase registered under AED 2M ≈ USD 545K is a different case and does not qualify by itself, so check the registered contract value of the exact apartment or penthouse before you file.
Application Timing
When Palm Beach Tower 1 Buyers Can Apply for the Golden Visa
No payment plan for Palm Beach Tower 1 is published here: the instalments on any unit are the ones written into its own sale agreement, and the 4% DLD fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department at registration, separately from the price. While the tower is under construction, an application usually rests on the Oqood, the off-plan registration of your purchase with the Dubai Land Department, together with evidence that the registered value and the amount you have paid meet the conditions the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities apply on the day you file.
My read on the timing: with the Dubai Land Department project register at 82.83% on 12 August 2026 and handover scheduled for Q4 2026, the distance between the two routes has shrunk from years to months. Buyers who need residency now, for a family move, school places or a UAE bank account, can file on the Oqood-registered contract as soon as the conditions in force are met. Buyers with no deadline may find the short wait worthwhile: once the title deed is issued at handover, the file rests on completed, registered ownership and generally on the deed itself rather than on proof of instalments paid. Off-plan conditions are commonly applied rather than fixed and are updated from time to time, so confirm the current version before you submit.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me, the full application service, document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. You pay only the official government fees published by the issuing authorities.

Palm Beach Tower 1 Insights for Golden Visa Buyers
The AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold settles eligibility at Palm Beach Tower 1. Three further checks settle whether the purchase itself is sound this close to handover: the dated register readings toward Q4 2026, the escrow protection on payments still due, and an independent inspection before you sign for the keys.

Palm Beach Tower 1 Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
The property route to the 10-year UAE Golden Visa uses a minimum property value of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, subject to the rules in force at the time of application. Every tier at Palm Beach Tower 1 starts above it: 1 bedroom apartments from AED 3.25M ≈ USD 885K, 2 bedroom apartments from AED 5.20M ≈ USD 1.42M, 3 bedroom apartments from AED 9.50M ≈ USD 2.59M, and 4 bedroom apartments and duplex penthouses from AED 18.00M ≈ USD 4.90M. The test is applied to the registered purchase value of the specific unit, and the full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.
No. Under the current rules a duplex penthouse is assessed on the same property-value test as an apartment. At Palm Beach Tower 1 the 4 bedroom apartments and duplex penthouses start at AED 18.00M ≈ USD 4.90M, with sizes from 3,100 to 8,500+ sq ft (288 to 790+ sq m). A larger or more expensive unit does not open a separate visa category; it changes the purchase, not the residency route. Layouts and pricing for each tier are compared in the Palm Beach Tower 1 project guide.
Yes, in principle. While Palm Beach Tower 1 is under construction, applications are commonly supported by the Oqood registration of the purchase with the Dubai Land Department, together with evidence that the registered value and the amount paid meet the conditions applied at the time of application. Owners who would rather file on completed ownership can wait for the title deed, which is issued at handover, scheduled for Q4 2026. Both routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.
It can. No payment plan for Palm Beach Tower 1 is published on this page, and the instalments that apply are those in the unit's own sale agreement. The 4% DLD fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department at registration; it is a government charge and does not count toward the qualifying property value. For an off-plan application, the relevant question is whether the amount paid on your unit meets the conditions commonly applied by the authorities when you file, and those conditions are updated from time to time.
Mortgaged property has commonly been accepted on the property route, provided the lending bank issues a no-objection letter and the owner's paid equity meets the conditions in force at the time of application. For an off-plan unit at Palm Beach Tower 1, both the lender's terms and those equity conditions should be checked before signing, because they are set by the bank and the authorities rather than by Nakheel.
Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered purchase value, so whether each co-owner can apply depends on how the unit is split and on the rules in force at the time of application; spouses may be treated differently from other co-owners. As an illustration only, a 2 bedroom apartment bought from AED 5.20M ≈ USD 1.42M and shared equally gives each of two owners a share of AED 2.60M ≈ USD 708K. The ownership split recorded with the Dubai Land Department is what the authorities review.
The property route allows the investor to sponsor family members, typically a spouse and children, under the rules in force at the time of application, with each dependant meeting the standard medical and security requirements. One qualifying apartment or duplex penthouse at Palm Beach Tower 1 is the basis for the family file. Who can be sponsored, including parents and age limits for children, is explained in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.
The program's current term for the property route is 10 years, renewable. Renewal is generally tied to continued ownership of qualifying property, so an owner who keeps a Palm Beach Tower 1 apartment or duplex penthouse registered at a qualifying value can apply to renew under the rules then in force. Selling the unit can affect the visa, so check the conditions in force before any sale.
The usual sequence is: sign the sale agreement and register the purchase with the Dubai Land Department (Oqood during construction, title deed after the Q4 2026 handover); obtain the Dubai Land Department's confirmation that the property meets the Golden Visa criteria; submit the residency application with passport, photographs and ownership documents; then complete the medical test and biometrics before the visa and Emirates ID are issued. Processing times vary with the authority and the completeness of the file. Each stage is detailed in the how to apply for the UAE Golden Visa guide.
No. Buyers who complete their Palm Beach Tower 1 purchase through this advisory pay no service fee: the VIP Golden Visa application service is free, and government fees apply. The service covers preparing the documents, submitting the application and following its status, while the government fees are the official charges set by the issuing authorities when the application is filed.
Buying a unit at Palm Beach Tower 1 makes the owner eligible to apply; it does not guarantee approval, which rests with the authorities and depends on the whole file meeting the rules in force when it is submitted, including ownership checks and standard security screening. The visa is a residency permit, not citizenship or a passport, and it belongs to the owner rather than the apartment, so a later buyer of the same unit must apply in his or her own right. Progress toward the title deed is tracked in the Palm Beach Tower 1 construction updates guide.
