Eligibility Snapshot
Pier Point 2 at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa Facts
Pier Point 2 is a 117 home freehold development by Emaar Properties on the waterfront at Rashid Yachts & Marina, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 3305 on 25 September 2024, with construction under way since 22 February 2025 across a 12,723.04 sq m plot and recorded at 8.48% progress at the latest RERA inspection on 14 May 2026. The detail that decides residency planning here: the entry one bedroom apartment is priced at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K, a short step under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, while the two bedroom apartments at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K, the three bedroom apartments at AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M and the three bedroom townhouses at AED 8.73M ≈ USD 2.38M each reach it on a single purchase, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. That makes the tier you choose, not the project you choose, the decision that settles residency. Handover is expected in October 2028, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Pier Point 2 Homes Meet the AED 2M Threshold
Waterfront projects usually clear the Golden Visa line everywhere or nowhere. Pier Point 2 does neither, and the split lands in an awkward place: the one bedroom apartment stops a short step under AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, so the cheapest residency qualifying home on this price list is the two bedroom apartment at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K. If the visa is the reason for the purchase, that single line sets the budget before floor level, orientation or view ever enter the conversation. Buyers chasing yield alone can still take the entry plate, but they should take it knowing it does not carry residency with it.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 774 to 810 sq ft (72 to 75 sq m) | AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,213 to 1,373 sq ft (113 to 128 sq m) | AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | 1,669 to 1,907 sq ft (155 to 177 sq m) | AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Townhouse | 2,318 to 2,686 sq ft (215 to 250 sq m) | AED 8.73M ≈ USD 2.38M | Yes |
| Three of the four Pier Point 2 releases qualify individually. The one bedroom apartment at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K sits below the threshold and does not qualify on its own. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a two bedroom apartment contracted at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K holds you above the line from Oqood registration onward rather than only at handover. The one bedroom tier here, and any secondary market home priced below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, does not reach the threshold alone, so confirm the contract value on your specific plate before you build a residency plan around it.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Pier Point 2 Can Apply
Pier Point 2 sells on an 80/20 structure: 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, seven further payments of 10% spread across the build, and 20% on handover in October 2028. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Emaar Properties completes after booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing rests on something unusual about this schedule: it was written at the 2024 launch, and its first five dates, running from September 2024 to June 2026, have already passed. A buyer entering now settles that elapsed portion at reservation instead of over two years, which front-loads paid value in one step rather than accumulating it slowly, and that is exactly the variable an off-plan application is measured against. Families relocating or opening UAE bank accounts usually want residency early and can apply on the strength of an Oqood-registered contract once the applicable paid-value conditions are met during the construction period running to October 2028. Investors working to no deadline often prefer the cleanest possible file and wait for the title deed at handover, when the application rests on completed, registered ownership. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.

The Project
The Marina Front Address Behind a Ten Year Residency
A residency visa runs for ten years, and the home that earns it should still make sense at the end of them. The full Pier Point 2 guide sets out what the qualifying purchase actually buys: layouts, current pricing, podium amenities and the working superyacht marina it faces.

Pier Point 2 at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Three of the four releases. Two bedroom apartments start at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K, three bedroom apartments at AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M and three bedroom townhouses at AED 8.73M ≈ USD 2.38M, so each one reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment on a single purchase. The one bedroom apartment at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K sits below the threshold. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.
No. At AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K it lands a short step under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment minimum, and eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value rather than on a valuation, a future resale figure or the total of several small holdings unless the rules in force at the time allow it. Residency buyers at this project therefore start at the two bedroom apartment tier.
The ten year Golden Visa is the long term residency granted on qualifying property investment from AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and it is renewable at the end of its term. Property purchases valued below that line fall under shorter renewable investor residency routes instead, which carry their own separate conditions. Which route a purchase falls into, and on what terms, depends on the regulations in force on the date the application is filed.
Often yes. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration together with evidence that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value condition applied at the time of application, and those conditions are updated from time to time. Buyers who want the simplest possible file wait instead for the title deed issued at handover in October 2028. The sequence is set out step by step in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.
A mortgaged property can still support an application, although the authorities commonly ask for a letter from the lender and expect a defined share of the value to have been settled, with the exact conditions fixed at the time of application. Pier Point 2 is sold on a developer payment plan rather than through bank finance at the off-plan stage, so most buyers here are assessed on the registered purchase value and the amount paid to date.
The property document sits at the centre of the file: an Oqood registration certificate before handover, or the title deed once it is issued. It is submitted with a passport copy, personal photographs and proof of payment evidencing the registered purchase value, after which a medical test and biometric registration are completed inside the UAE before the Emirates ID is issued. The current checklist is kept in the how to apply for the UAE Golden Visa guide.
Yes. A ten year holder may sponsor a spouse and children, and domestic staff may also be sponsored under the conditions applied by the authorities, with dependants generally granted residency running to the same expiry as the main applicant. Sponsorship scope and any limits currently in force are covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.
The residency runs for ten years and is renewable provided the qualifying conditions are still satisfied at renewal, which on the property route generally means continuing to hold a qualifying property. Unlike standard UAE residency, a Golden Visa is not cancelled by a long period spent abroad, though the renewal conditions themselves are set by the authorities and can be updated between one term and the next.
Yes on both counts. Pier Point 2 is a freehold development open to buyers of every nationality, and ownership is registered in the buyer name at the Dubai Land Department, which is precisely what a property based Golden Visa application is assessed against. Layouts, pricing and the wider investment case are covered on the Pier Point 2 at Rashid Yachts and Marina project 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.
