Skyscape Avenue Golden Visa

Three of the five. The 2 Bedroom starts at AED 2.20M ≈ USD 599K, the 2.5 Bedroom at AED 2.60M ≈ USD 708K and the 3 Bedroom at AED 3.90M ≈ USD 1.06M, all above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold. The 1 Bedroom from AED 1.70M ≈ USD 463K and the 1.5 Bedroom from AED 1.90M ≈ USD 517K start below it and do not qualify alone. 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. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed, which follows the handover scheduled for Q4 2029. The off-plan route is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The plan is a 20% down payment plus the 4% DLD registration fee at booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover in Q4 2029, with the timing of the construction share set in the SPA. Because 60% of the price is paid before the keys, buyers may reach the commonly applied paid-value conditions during construction, so an application on the Oqood-registered contract is often possible before handover once the current conditions are met. The registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the price and is not part of the registered purchase value on which eligibility is assessed.

Mortgaged property can be considered under the program, typically subject to conditions such as a letter from the lending bank and the amount of the price already paid, and those conditions are updated from time to time. On the 60/40 plan, the final 40% falls due at handover, which is the point where many buyers bring in mortgage finance. Confirm the conditions in force with the lender and the residency authorities before relying on a financed purchase for the application.

Joint purchases are commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered purchase value, and the treatment of co-owners, including spouses, is set by the regulations in force at the time of application. As arithmetic only, a 2 Bedroom at AED 2.20M ≈ USD 599K split equally between two owners gives each a share of AED 1.10M ≈ USD 300K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Confirm how a joint title will be treated before deciding how to register it.

The UAE Golden Visa program currently allows holders to sponsor family members, typically a spouse and children, under the conditions in force at the time of application. Family residency follows the main holder's visa, so it rests on the same qualifying purchase at Skyscape Avenue. What the visa covers and what it does not is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal generally depends on still holding qualifying property at the time of renewal, so an owner who keeps a 2, 2.5 or 3 Bedroom at Skyscape Avenue keeps the basis for renewing, subject to the rules in force at that point.

The visa rests on qualifying ownership, so selling the apartment generally removes its basis, and the holder would need another qualifying investment under the rules in force at that time. For the next owner, eligibility is assessed on their own registered purchase value: a resale unit bought below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K does not qualify alone, whatever its layout.

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 rests with the UAE authorities and depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks.
