Palm Springs Phase 1 Villas & Townhouses Golden Visa

All five. 3 Bedroom Townhouses start from AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M, 4 Bedroom Townhouses (G+1) from AED 4.60M ≈ USD 1.25M, 4 Bedroom Townhouses (G+2) from AED 5.20M ≈ USD 1.42M, 4 Bedroom Villas from AED 7.00M ≈ USD 1.91M and 5 Bedroom Villas from AED 8.90M ≈ USD 2.42M, so each type clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on a single purchase at its starting price, subject to the rules in force when the application is made. The test applies to the registered purchase value of the specific home, and a resale unit with a price under AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not meet the threshold by itself. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

The 3 bedroom townhouse in the Aliso clusters, from AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M, with roughly 2,328.6 sq ft (216.3 sq m) of unit area. Its starting price sits about AED 1.80M ≈ USD 490K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, so at Phase 1 the choice between a townhouse and a villa can rest on layout, plot and budget rather than on eligibility. Like every home in the phase it is freehold and open to all nationalities, and the layouts and prices of each type are compared in the Palm Springs Phase 1 villas and townhouses guide.

No. The expression of interest at AED 50,000 per unit comes ahead of both the 10% booking payment and the signed sales agreement, so it is not a registered purchase. Under the rules as commonly applied, the property route begins once the sales agreement for a specific home is signed and registered with the Dubai Land Department as Oqood, and eligibility is measured against that registered purchase value rather than the deposit. The EOI terms themselves should be confirmed with Nakheel before payment.

Nakheel's plan opens with 10% on booking, with the 4% DLD registration fee paid on top to the Dubai Land Department rather than counted in the price. Instalments then lift the paid share to 20% in April 2027, 30% in September 2027, 40% in February 2028, half the price in July 2028, 55% in December 2028 and 60% in May 2029, with the 40% seventh instalment dated October 2030, at handover. An application during construction rests on the Oqood-registered contract once the paid-value condition in force is met; because nothing falls due between May 2029 and handover, a condition set above 60% would in practice move the application to the title deed stage after handover in Q4 2030. The off-plan route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

Mortgaged property is commonly accepted when the registered purchase value meets the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold and the lending bank issues a no-objection letter, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. At Phase 1, 60% of the price is paid to Nakheel in instalments before handover, so a buyer who plans to finance part of the purchase would typically be financing the 40% handover instalment; in that case the application normally follows the title deed and the bank letter after handover in Q4 2030.

Under the rules as commonly applied, each co-owner's share of the registered value is assessed against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. On an equal two-way split, a 3 bedroom townhouse at AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M gives each owner AED 1.90M ≈ USD 517K, below the threshold, while a 4 bedroom townhouse (G+1) at AED 4.60M ≈ USD 1.25M gives each owner AED 2.30M ≈ USD 626K, above it. The treatment of joint ownership, including between spouses, is set by the authorities and should be confirmed before purchase.

Under the program as currently applied, a property-based Golden Visa holder can generally sponsor a spouse and children, and in some cases parents, with each dependant's eligibility and documents checked under the rules in force at the time. Sponsorship rests on the same qualifying home, so one Phase 1 purchase at or above the threshold can carry a family file. What sponsorship covers is detailed in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The property route currently grants a 10-year residence visa, renewable while the qualifying property is still held and the conditions in force at renewal are met. A visa issued during construction on the Oqood-registered contract would still be running when the title deed is issued at handover in Q4 2030, so the updated ownership record should be kept for renewal. Selling the home, or reducing the holding below the threshold, changes the basis of the visa.

The sequence typically runs from the EOI to the 10% booking payment and the signed sales agreement, then Oqood registration with the Dubai Land Department and, once the qualifying value and any paid-value condition are met, an application to the residency authorities with the ownership documents, followed by a medical test and Emirates ID biometrics. Buyers who wait for handover follow the same steps using the title deed issued in Q4 2030. Each stage is covered in the UAE Golden Visa application guide.

No. Buyers who complete their purchase through this advisory receive the VIP Golden Visa service, from preparing the file to submitting it and tracking its progress, without any service charge. The service is free, but the official government fees still apply and are paid as published by the issuing authorities when the application is made.

No. A qualifying purchase gives the buyer grounds to apply; approval rests with the authorities, who check ownership records, run security screening and apply every requirement current on the day the file is lodged. The Golden Visa is a residence visa: it does not grant UAE citizenship or a passport, and it does not alter the payment obligations in the sales agreement with Nakheel.
