Eligibility Snapshot
Palmiera at The Oasis Golden Visa Facts
Palmiera at The Oasis is a 265-villa freehold cluster by Emaar Properties inside The Oasis, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 2732 on 28 July 2023, with construction under way since 14 August 2023, a Total Built Area of 218,534.38 sq m on the DLD register, and 81.72% progress on the RERA progress indicator at the latest inspection on 20 July 2026. For residency planning the numbers are not close: 4 bedroom villas start at AED 11.49M ≈ USD 3.13M and 5 bedroom villas at AED 17.50M ≈ USD 4.76M, so even the entry villa sits more than five times above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. At this price level the real question is not whether a villa qualifies but when and on which document the application is built. Handover is expected in Q4 2027, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Palmiera Villas Meet the AED 2M Threshold
On most Dubai projects this table is where the hard news lands: one typology clears the line, another falls short, and buyers end up choosing between the home they want and the home that qualifies. Palmiera sits at the opposite end of that problem. Even the entry 4 bedroom villa starts at more than five times the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line, so the residency test is settled by the product itself, and the choice left to make is the one a family would make anyway: villa size, layout and architectural style.
| Unit Type | Villa Size | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Bedroom Villa | approx. 5,843 to 6,274 sq ft (543 to 583 sq m) | AED 11.49M ≈ USD 3.13M | Yes |
| 5 Bedroom Villa | approx. 7,753 to 8,689 sq ft (720 to 807 sq m) | AED 17.50M ≈ USD 4.76M | Yes |
| Both current villa types at Palmiera qualify individually. No combining of properties is needed. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a 4 bedroom villa bought at AED 11.49M ≈ USD 3.13M keeps you far above the threshold well before handover. The same test applies to a resale villa: the value registered on your own contract is what counts, and any secondary unit registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on its own, so confirm the registered contract value on your specific villa before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Palmiera Can Apply
Emaar launched Palmiera in 2023 on an 85/15 plan across ten instalments: a 10% down payment (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 75% in eight instalments during construction, and the final 15% on construction completion, dated December 2027 on the launch schedule of record. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Emaar completes after booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing: Palmiera is not a fresh launch, and the calendar has already done much of the work. On the 2023 schedule of record, instalments dated through August 2026 add up to 75% of the price, leaving 10% in January 2027 and 15% on completion. A launch buyer who kept to that schedule is likely to have met the paid-value conditions commonly applied to off-plan applications already, and can apply on the strength of an Oqood-registered contract now rather than waiting for the Q4 2027 handover. A buyer entering today, on a remaining Emaar unit or through resale, starts from a different position: Emaar confirms the schedule that applies to that unit at booking, and the paid-value picture depends on that schedule and on what was already paid under any contract being transferred. Buyers with no urgency can still take the simplest route and apply after handover, when the title deed is issued. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.

The Project
The Villa Community Behind a Ten-Year Residency
A Golden Visa runs for ten years, and at Palmiera the asset behind it is a stand-alone Emaar villa on The Oasis waterways. The project guide covers what that investment buys: three architectural styles, current pricing, amenities and the wider community.

Palmiera at The Oasis Insights for Golden Visa Buyers
Every Palmiera villa clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold with room to spare, so the files that decide a smooth application sit elsewhere: the verified construction record behind your Oqood, the escrow account holding each instalment, and the pre-handover inspection before you accept the villa and its title deed.

Palmiera at The Oasis Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Well above it. 4 bedroom villas start at AED 11.49M ≈ USD 3.13M and 5 bedroom villas at AED 17.50M ≈ USD 4.76M, against a threshold of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, so each Palmiera villa qualifies individually without combining properties. Palmiera is freehold and open to buyers of all nationalities, with ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a resale villa is still checked against its own contract value. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. With construction recorded at 81.72% on 20 July 2026 and handover expected in Q4 2027, buyers who prefer a simpler file can instead wait for the title deed issued at handover. The process is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
Emaar's 2023 launch schedule of record is 85% during construction and 15% on construction completion, starting with a 10% down payment plus the 4% DLD registration fee. Instalments dated through August 2026 total 75% of the price, so launch buyers who kept to that schedule are likely to have met the paid-value conditions commonly applied to off-plan applications already. For a remaining or resale villa, Emaar confirms the applicable schedule at booking, and the paid-value position should be checked against the conditions in force before applying.
Where a villa is jointly owned, eligibility is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered purchase value, under the conditions in force at the time of application. Split equally between two co-owners, even an entry 4 bedroom villa at AED 11.49M ≈ USD 3.13M leaves each half share at about AED 5.75M ≈ USD 1.56M, well above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Co-owners should confirm how their specific ownership split is treated before applying.
A mortgage does not by itself rule a villa out. Mortgaged property is commonly accepted for property-based Golden Visa applications subject to the conditions applied at the time of application, which can include a letter from the lending bank and rules on the value already paid. At Palmiera price points the registered value is far above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, so the practical question is usually the paid or equity position rather than the purchase price, and the current conditions should be confirmed before applying.
The Golden Visa commonly allows the main holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with the eligibility of each family member set by the residency authorities at the time of application. The qualifying Palmiera villa supports the main application, and family members are then added under the sponsorship rules in force. What the visa covers for family members is explained in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
The UAE Golden Visa is currently issued as a 10-year renewable residency. Renewal is commonly linked to still holding a qualifying investment, so selling the Palmiera villa, or reducing the ownership share below the applicable value, can affect renewal under the rules in force at that time. For buyers who apply on an Oqood before the Q4 2027 handover, the title deed issued at handover then replaces the Oqood as the registered ownership record.
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. The purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Dated construction readings for the villas are tracked on the Palmiera at The Oasis construction updates page.
