Seascape at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa

Three of the four tiers, based on starting prices. 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 3.58M ≈ USD 976K, 3 bedroom apartments at AED 3.88M ≈ USD 1.06M and 3 bedroom townhouses at AED 5.00M ≈ USD 1.36M, all above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K, below it, so a 1 bedroom unit does not qualify on price. The full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

Eligibility is judged on the purchase value registered with the Dubai Land Department for the specific unit, shown on the Oqood before handover or on the title deed after it, not on the starting price of its tier. That value has to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K under the conditions in force at the time of application. A resale unit is judged on its own registered value, so a secondary 1 bedroom apartment below that figure would not qualify alone.

On price, yes. The 3 bedroom townhouses start at AED 5.00M ≈ USD 1.36M, the highest entry point at Seascape and well above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, with layouts of approximately 2,620 to 2,982 sq ft (243 to 277 sq m) over two levels. Property type does not change the test: a townhouse and an apartment are assessed the same way, on the registered purchase value and the regulations in force when the application is made.

Applications before completion are commonly supported by the Oqood-registered sale contract, with evidence that the qualifying value is reached and that any paid-value condition the authorities apply at that time is satisfied. With handover scheduled for Nov 2026, many buyers find it simpler to wait for the title deed and apply on completed, registered ownership. Both routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The launch schedule of record is a 10% down payment on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, seven 10% instalments between February 2023 and March 2026, and 20% on construction completion, scheduled for Nov 2026. Under that schedule 80% of the price fell due during construction, which is what made applications before completion realistic. A buyer entering now follows the balance and dates in their own SPA, so the amount paid under that agreement is what is measured against the paid-value condition in force at the time of application.

A mortgaged property has commonly been accepted for a property-based Golden Visa, usually with a no-objection letter from the lending bank and conditions on the amount already paid, which the authorities set and update from time to time. The registered purchase value of the Seascape unit still has to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, so the mortgage route is only relevant to the 2 bedroom apartments and larger. The rules in force at the time of application decide the outcome.

Under the approach commonly applied, each joint owner's share of the registered value has to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its own. At Seascape starting prices, an equal two-way split of a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment leaves each share below that line, while an equal split of a 3 bedroom townhouse from AED 5.00M ≈ USD 1.36M leaves each share above it. The treatment of spouses who own jointly has differed over time, so the conditions in force at the time of application should be confirmed.

The property-based Golden Visa has commonly allowed the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, and in some cases parents, as dependants. Which family members qualify, age limits for children and the documents required are set by the authorities and can change, so they are checked against the rules in force when the application is filed. Family sponsorship is covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal generally depends on still holding qualifying property at the required value when the renewal is filed, so selling the Seascape unit, or reducing the holding below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, can affect it. The term and the renewal conditions are those in force at the time of each application.

The sequence starts with registered ownership: the Oqood before handover, or the title deed after the Nov 2026 handover. The ownership record and supporting documents are filed with the residency authorities, followed by a medical test, biometrics and Emirates ID issuance once the visa is approved. Buying a qualifying unit makes you eligible to apply but does not guarantee approval, which depends on every requirement in force at the time, including background checks. Each stage is laid out in the UAE Golden Visa application guide.

No. Anyone who buys a Seascape unit through this advisory receives the VIP application service, from preparing documents to submission and following the file through to a decision, free of any service charge. The official government fees still apply, as published by the issuing authorities when the application is made.
