Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz Golden Visa

Two of the three. The 2 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 2.74M ≈ USD 746K and the 3 Bedroom Penthouses at AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17M, so each can qualify as a single purchase. The 1 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 1.90M ≈ USD 518K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and do not qualify alone. The qualifying value is the one on the title deed or the DLD valuation, so the registered value of the specific unit decides. Full criteria are in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

Usually yes, for a qualifying 2 or 3 bedroom unit. An off-plan application is generally supported by the Oqood registration of the sale contract plus proof that the contract reaches the qualifying value and satisfies the paid-amount conditions in force when the file is submitted. Because handover at Sunset Bay 3 is scheduled for Q1 2027, some buyers choose to wait and apply on the title deed instead. The off-plan property Golden Visa guide explains both routes.

The plan is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, five dated instalments of 5%, 5%, 10%, 10% and 10% between 15 June 2025 and 15 October 2026, and 40% on completion in Q1 2027. The DLD fee is a registration cost and is not part of the purchase value assessed for eligibility. By the 17 September 2026 register reading, instalments totalling 50% of the price had fallen due, so buyers on the standard schedule are already well into the plan; the paid-value conditions current on the day of filing still need to be checked.

A financed property has commonly been accepted, typically with a letter from the lending bank confirming the amount already paid, but the conditions are set by the authorities and can change, so they should be checked when the file is prepared. At Sunset Bay 3 most of the price is paid through the developer's dated plan, so any financing would usually relate to the 40% completion payment due in Q1 2027.

Under the conditions commonly applied, each co-owner's own share has to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K for that owner to qualify, and rules for spouses buying together can differ. At current starting prices the 3 Bedroom Penthouses, from AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17M, are the only Sunset Bay 3 tier where an equal two-way split keeps each share above that figure. The exact ownership split and the rules in force at the time of application should be confirmed before signing.

Generally yes. A property-based Golden Visa holder can usually sponsor a spouse and children, with the exact family categories and age conditions set by the regulations in force at the time of application. Owning a qualifying 2 Bedroom Apartment or 3 Bedroom Penthouse at Sunset Bay 3 does not change those conditions. Sponsorship rules are covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years and it is renewable. Renewal generally depends on still holding qualifying property at the required value when the visa comes up for renewal, so selling a qualifying Sunset Bay 3 unit without replacing it can affect eligibility. Renewal conditions follow the regulations in force at that time.

It is a long-term residence permit, not UAE citizenship or a passport. It does not reduce the purchase price, the 40% completion payment, service charges or other ownership costs at Sunset Bay 3, and it carries no promise of rental income or resale value. Its benefits and limits are summarised in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.
