Sunset Bay 4 by Imtiaz Golden Visa

Two of the three. The 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.63M ≈ USD 716K and the 3 bedroom apartments from AED 4.43M ≈ USD 1.21M are each above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value used for the Golden Visa investor route. The 1 bedroom apartments from AED 1.91M ≈ USD 520K are below it and do not qualify alone. Every apartment at Sunset Bay 4 by Imtiaz is freehold and open to all nationalities, and the full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

Yes, in principle. For an off-plan purchase, the authorities generally look at the Oqood registration of the sale contract together with evidence that the price clears the qualifying value and any paid-value condition applied when the application is filed. A buyer of a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment at Sunset Bay 4 by Imtiaz can therefore apply during construction once those conditions are met, or hold off until the title deed is issued at handover in Q2 2027. The off-plan route is explained in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The plan is date-based: 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, then 5% on 15 August 2025, 5% on 15 December 2025, 10% on 15 April 2026, 10% on 15 August 2026 and 10% on 15 December 2026, with 40% on completion in Q2 2027. Because the dates are fixed, 50% of the price had fallen due by the end of September 2026, and a buyer signing now settles the instalments already due at signing under the developer's current terms. A new buyer's paid share is therefore likely to be well advanced early in ownership, which matters wherever a paid-value condition applies to off-plan applications; confirm both the schedule with the developer and the current condition before applying.

No. The value assessed for a property-based Golden Visa is the registered value of the apartment itself. The 4% DLD registration fee paid at booking at Sunset Bay 4 by Imtiaz is a government charge on top of the purchase price, so it is not added to that value. Only the apartment's own registered value is compared with the qualifying amount.

Mortgaged property has generally been accepted for property-based Golden Visa applications, usually with a letter from the lending bank, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. At Sunset Bay 4 by Imtiaz the purchase runs on the developer's 60/40 instalment plan during construction, so bank financing is typically a question for the 40% due on completion in Q2 2027 or later. How a financed share of the value is treated should be confirmed with the lender and the issuing authority before relying on a mortgaged apartment for the application.

Joint ownership is possible, but under the property route eligibility has commonly been assessed on each owner's share of the registered value rather than on the full price, with separate treatment for spouses under the rules in force at the time. A share of a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment at Sunset Bay 4 by Imtiaz may therefore fall below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold for one or both owners, so the ownership structure should be checked against current requirements before the sale contract is signed.

The property-based Golden Visa has generally allowed the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with age and documentation conditions set by the authorities at the time of application. Family permits are tied to the main holder's visa, so they depend on the qualifying apartment at Sunset Bay 4 by Imtiaz continuing to meet the requirements. What sponsorship covers is set out in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal generally depends on still holding qualifying property when the renewal is filed, so an owner who sells a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment at Sunset Bay 4 by Imtiaz without replacing it with other qualifying property would normally lose the basis for renewal. Terms are set by the authorities and can change, so check the conditions in force at renewal.

It is a residence visa, not citizenship or a passport. It also leaves the purchase itself unchanged: the dated instalments, the 40% due on completion and the expected Q2 2027 handover at Sunset Bay 4 by Imtiaz apply in the same way whether or not the buyer applies for the visa, and the application outcome remains a decision of the authorities.

No. When the apartment is bought through this advisory, preparing the documents, filing the application and tracking its status are handled as a free VIP service. Government fees still apply, at the rates the issuing authorities set when the application is made.

No. A qualifying purchase allows the buyer to apply; the decision rests with the authorities, who check ownership records, the registered value, identity documents and standard security clearances against the requirements in force on the application date. Progress on the building itself is recorded on the Sunset Bay 4 construction updates page.
