Eligibility Snapshot
Sunridge at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa Facts
Sunridge is a 130-apartment freehold building by Emaar inside Rashid Yachts & Marina at Mina Rashid, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 2678 on 12 June 2023. Construction started on 30 September 2023, and the latest RERA inspection, dated 17 March 2026, recorded 100% progress with a progress status of Completed, after the building completion certificate was issued on 29 December 2025. For residency planning the verdict is split by bedroom count: 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K and clear the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program on their own, subject to the regulations in force when you apply, while 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.66M ≈ USD 452K, below that line. In a building offering only these two layouts, the bedroom count settles the visa question before floor or view enter it. Handover is scheduled for Feb 2027, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Sunridge Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
Sunridge sells two typologies, and the Golden Visa line falls between them. At current starting prices the 2 bedroom apartments clear AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on their own, and the 1 bedroom apartments do not. That makes the eligibility call here simpler than in most of Rashid Yachts & Marina: a buyer for whom residency is the goal is choosing among 2 bedroom layouts, while a buyer weighing a 1 bedroom unit is making a yield or lifestyle decision that the visa does not settle.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | ≈ 765 - 1,321 sq ft (71 - 123 sq m) | AED 1.66M ≈ USD 452K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | ≈ 1,289 - 1,734 sq ft (120 - 161 sq m) | AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K | Yes |
| At current starting prices only the 2 bedroom tier qualifies individually. The 1 bedroom tier starts below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a 2 bedroom apartment bought at AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K keeps you above the threshold before handover as well as after it. A 1 bedroom apartment at its AED 1.66M ≈ USD 452K starting price does not reach the line alone, and any resale unit registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on its own either, so confirm the contract value on your specific unit before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Sunridge Buyers Can Apply
Sunridge launched in 2023 on Emaar's 90/10 plan: 10% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 80% in instalments during construction, and 10% on construction completion, estimated for Feb 2027. That schedule is the launch plan of record: every instalment dated before Feb 2027 has already passed, so the terms for a unit bought today are confirmed by the developer at reservation. Pre-handover applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Emaar 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: a finished building compresses the choice most off-plan buyers face. At a typical launch the gap between Oqood registration and a title deed runs for years; at Sunridge, with construction recorded as complete in March 2026 and handover scheduled for Feb 2027, it is a matter of months. Buyers who need residency early, to relocate a family or open UAE bank accounts, can typically apply on their Oqood-registered contract once the applicable paid-value conditions are met. Buyers without that urgency give up little by waiting for the title deed at handover, when the application rests on completed, registered ownership. Because requirements for pre-handover applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.

Project Insights for Sunridge at Rashid Yachts & Marina Buyers
A Golden Visa purchase at Sunridge rests on more than which tier clears AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Buyers should read the inspection record behind the building's completed status, confirm how the escrow account holds their payments until handover, and plan the snagging inspection before accepting the apartment. Each resource below covers one of those checks.

Sunridge at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Only the 2 bedroom apartments, at current starting prices. They start at AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K, above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, so a single 2 bedroom unit can qualify on its own under the regulations in force at the time of application. The 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.66M ≈ USD 452K, below the threshold. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the specific unit, and the full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Not at its starting price. Sunridge 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.66M ≈ USD 452K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value commonly required for the 10-year Golden Visa, so a 1 bedroom unit bought at or near that price does not meet the threshold alone. Eligibility always rests on the registered purchase value of the specific unit. Within Sunridge, the 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K are the tier that clears the threshold individually.
Applications before handover are typically supported by Oqood registration, the Dubai Land Department record of a purchase that has not yet reached title deed stage, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Construction at Sunridge was recorded as completed at the RERA inspection of 17 March 2026, but title deeds follow handover, scheduled for Feb 2027, so buyers who prefer a file resting on a title deed have only a few months to wait. Both routes are compared in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
Sunridge launched in 2023 on a 90/10 plan: 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 80% in instalments during construction, and a final 10% on construction completion, estimated for Feb 2027. With construction recorded as complete and every launch instalment dated before Feb 2027 already past, the payment terms for a unit bought now are confirmed by the developer at reservation. The share of the price paid at purchase then determines how soon the commonly applied paid-value conditions for a pre-handover application are met, and those conditions are updated from time to time.
Mortgaged property is commonly accepted where the purchase value clears AED 2M ≈ USD 545K and the lending bank confirms the position of the loan, with the amount already paid assessed under the conditions in force at the time of application. At Sunridge that question arises for the 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K, since financing does not change the fact that the 1 bedroom tier starts at AED 1.66M ≈ USD 452K, below the threshold. Requirements for financed property are updated from time to time and are confirmed at the point of application.
Joint ownership is commonly assessed on each owner's registered share rather than on the full price of the unit, with any specific treatment for spouses set by the conditions in force at the time of application. On a Sunridge 2 bedroom apartment from AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K, an equal two-way split gives each owner a share of AED 1.40M ≈ USD 381K, which sits below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold if assessed per owner. How a particular co-ownership arrangement is treated is confirmed under the rules current when the purchase is registered.
The UAE Golden Visa commonly allows the principal holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with conditions for other relatives set by the regulations in force at the time of application. For a Sunridge owner, family sponsorship therefore follows from a qualifying purchase, which at current starting prices means a 2 bedroom apartment from AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K. The wider family provisions are covered in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal of a property-based Golden Visa commonly depends on still holding qualifying property that meets the value threshold in force at renewal, so a Sunridge 2 bedroom owner who keeps the apartment stays on the same footing, while selling it removes the property basis of the visa. Renewal conditions are updated from time to time and are assessed when the renewal is filed.
No. A qualifying purchase makes the buyer eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. The visa grants long-term residency, not citizenship, and it does not pass to a later buyer when the apartment is sold. The building's inspection record, from construction start to the completed status of March 2026, is tracked on the Sunridge construction updates page.
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.
