Three of Four Marina Tiers Clear the Threshold on Their Own
Porto View is one of the projects where the entry unit does not qualify: 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 0.53M, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K Golden Visa property investment threshold, while the 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom and townhouse tiers clear it on a single unit.

Eligibility Snapshot
Porto View Golden Visa Facts
Porto View is a freehold waterfront development at Rashid Yachts & Marina, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 3306 on 23 September 2024, with construction started on 22 February 2025 and a completion date recorded in the register as 31 October 2028. The developer's own project documentation counts 114 residences across 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments plus 3 bedroom townhouses. The Dubai Land Department register recorded 6.26% progress at the inspection dated 2 June 2026, with enabling, piling and foundation works under way on plot 516. The detail that decides residency planning here: the 1 bedroom tier starts at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 0.53M and sits below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, while 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.87M ≈ USD 0.78M and every larger layout clear that minimum on one unit, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Handover is expected in Q4 2028, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Porto View Residences Meet the AED 2M Threshold
Marina-front pricing at Porto View spans a wide range, and the Golden Visa line falls inside it rather than below it. That single fact changes how the shortlist should be read: the cheapest way into the building and the cheapest way into residency are not the same unit. A 1 bedroom at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 0.53M is an entry to the address, not to the visa, while the 2 bedroom tier at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 0.78M is the first layout that carries both. Below is every current tier measured against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 774 – 811 sq ft (72 – 75 sq m) | AED 1.93M ≈ USD 0.53M | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,213 – 1,373 sq ft (113 – 128 sq m) | AED 2.87M ≈ USD 0.78M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | 1,669 – 1,907 sq ft (155 – 177 sq m) | AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Townhouse | 2,685 – 2,719 sq ft (249 – 253 sq m) | AED 8.73M ≈ USD 2.38M | Yes |
| Three of the four Porto View tiers clear AED 2M on a single unit. The 1 bedroom apartment at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 0.53M does not. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the property, so a 2 bedroom apartment contracted at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 0.78M sits above the threshold from the day the contract is registered, while a 1 bedroom at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 0.53M stays below it however small the gap looks. The same test applies in the secondary market: a resale unit registered under AED 2M ≈ USD 545K does not qualify on its own, so confirm the contract value on your specific unit before you plan an application around it.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Porto View Can Apply
Porto View sells on a construction linked plan: 10% on booking, then seven instalments of 10% each running from November 2024 to September 2027 and tied to build milestones, with the final 20% at 100% construction completion in October 2028. The 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee is payable separately at booking. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which the developer 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: because the schedule opened in September 2024, a buyer entering today does not start at 10%. The instalments already due are settled at the point of booking and only the remaining milestones follow the published dates, so the paid share of the purchase price is high early rather than late. That pushes Porto View buyers toward the first of two realistic windows. The first is during construction, on the strength of an Oqood-registered contract once the paid-value conditions in force are satisfied, which suits anyone relocating a family or opening UAE accounts before the building is finished. The second is at handover in Q4 2028, when the title deed is issued and the file rests on completed, registered ownership. Conditions for off-plan applications are updated from time to time and are commonly applied rather than fixed, so confirm the current paid-value requirement before submitting. Note also that the register read 6.26% on 2 June 2026 while the June 2026 instalment is dated against 10% construction completion, which is a reminder that construction triggers and calendar dates on this plan do not always land together.

A residency visa runs for ten years, and the home that earns it should still make sense at the end of them. The full Porto View guide covers what your qualifying investment actually buys: layouts, current pricing, amenities, and the Rashid Yachts & Marina waterfront around it.

Project Insights for a Porto View Golden Visa Buyer
A residency purchase at Porto View rests on more than the AED 2M line. At the Dubai Land Department register reading of 6.26% the build is early, so the two things worth watching are what each Dubai Land Department inspection certifies on site and whether every instalment lands in the project escrow account. Both are tracked on the pages below.

Porto View at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Three of the four tiers. 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 0.78M, 3 bedroom apartments at AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M, and 3 bedroom townhouses at AED 8.73M ≈ USD 2.38M, so each of those clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment minimum on a single unit. The 1 bedroom tier starts at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 0.53M and sits below it. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Not on its own. The 1 bedroom tier starts at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 0.53M, which is below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment minimum, and eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value rather than on the market value or the size of the shortfall. Buyers who want the residency and the marina address in one purchase start at the 2 bedroom tier from AED 2.87M ≈ USD 0.78M.
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. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed at handover, expected in Q4 2028. The sequence is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is 10% on booking, seven instalments of 10% tied to construction milestones between November 2024 and September 2027, and a final 20% at 100% construction completion in October 2028, with the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee payable separately. Because the schedule opened in September 2024, a buyer entering now settles the instalments already due at booking, so the paid share of the price rises quickly and the commonly applied paid-value condition is usually reached early in the ownership rather than near completion.
Yes. Porto View is freehold and open to all nationalities, with ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility. Buyer payments run through a Dubai Land Department registered escrow account held with First Abu Dhabi Bank, detailed on the Porto View escrow account page.
The current term of the property-based Golden Visa is ten years, renewable, and it allows the holder to sponsor family members. Renewal and continued validity depend on the conditions in force at the time, including continued ownership of the qualifying property. What the residency covers is set out 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 you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Construction status behind the title deed can be checked at any time on the Porto View construction updates page.
