Skyscape Altius Golden Visa

Two of the four. 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.36M ≈ USD 643K and 2.5 bedroom apartments at AED 2.59M ≈ USD 705K, so each clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value on its own. 1 bedroom apartments from AED 1.56M ≈ USD 425K and 1.5 bedroom apartments from AED 1.94M ≈ USD 528K start below it and do not qualify alone. The figure that counts is the registered purchase value of the specific unit, and the full criteria are listed in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Usually yes, for a unit that clears the threshold. Before completion, an application generally rests on the Oqood registration of the purchase plus evidence that its value, and any paid-value condition applied on the date of application, are met. At Skyscape Altius that points to the 2 bedroom or 2.5 bedroom tiers. Buyers who would rather apply on a completed title can wait for handover, expected in Q4 2029. Each stage is set out in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The Skyscape Altius plan is a 20% down payment at booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, which is expected in Q4 2029. The fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the purchase price and is not part of the property value assessed for residency. With 60% of the price paid before handover, an application during construction turns on how much of the contract has been paid by the day you apply, measured against the paid-value condition in force then; when the construction 40% falls due is set in the SPA for each unit.

Until handover, ownership of a Skyscape Altius apartment is recorded through Oqood registration with the Dubai Land Department. At handover, expected in Q4 2029, the Oqood converts to a title deed, and an application from that point rests on completed, registered ownership, so the questions about how much of an off-plan contract has been paid largely fall away. The value test stays the same: the unit still needs a registered value of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K.

Mortgaged property has commonly been accepted for property-based Golden Visa applications, subject to conditions such as a no-objection letter from the lending bank and rules on the amount already paid, which the authorities set and update from time to time. For an off-plan purchase such as Skyscape Altius, the lender's own terms decide when financing is available, so the lender's position and the conditions in force at the time of application should both be confirmed before relying on a mortgage.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's share of the value rather than the full price, under the conditions in force at the time of application, and spouses may be treated differently from other co-owners. As an illustration, an equal two-way split of a 2.5 bedroom apartment at AED 2.59M ≈ USD 705K leaves each share at about AED 1.30M ≈ USD 353K, below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. The current joint-ownership rules should be confirmed before a shared purchase is structured.

The program currently lets a property-based Golden Visa holder sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. The sponsoring owner still needs a qualifying unit, which at Skyscape Altius means a 2 bedroom apartment from AED 2.36M ≈ USD 643K or a 2.5 bedroom apartment from AED 2.59M ≈ USD 705K. What dependants receive is covered in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years and renewable, under the regulations in force at the time of application and renewal. Renewal generally depends on still holding property that meets the qualifying conditions, so selling the Skyscape Altius apartment without another qualifying property in place would normally affect it.

Only if its own registered purchase value reaches AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Eligibility follows the price recorded for the buyer's transaction, not the developer's price list, so a resale 2 bedroom apartment bought below the threshold would not qualify alone, while a resale unit registered above it could. The contract value should be confirmed before the transfer is completed.

No service fee is charged. Buyers who purchase through this advisory receive the VIP application service, which covers preparing documents, submitting the file and following its status, free of charge. The government fees set by the issuing authorities still apply, at the rates in force when the application is made.

No. A purchase above the threshold makes the buyer eligible to apply, but the decision belongs to the UAE residency authorities and depends on meeting every requirement in force at the time of application, with ownership verification and standard security checks among them.
