Sunset Bay Grand Golden Visa

All three layouts. The 1 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 2.19M ≈ USD 596K, the 2 Bedroom Apartments at AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K and the 3 Bedroom Apartments at AED 3.45M ≈ USD 939K, so each one clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value on its own, with no need to combine properties. Eligibility follows the registered contract value of the specific unit, and the full criteria are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

Off-plan applications are commonly accepted on the basis of the Oqood-registered sale contract, provided the contract reaches the qualifying value and meets any paid-amount conditions applied at the time of application, and those conditions are updated from time to time. The alternative is to file once the title deed is issued after the handover expected in Q4 2027, which keeps the paperwork to completed ownership alone. Both routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The launch schedule of record is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, six dated instalments totalling 40% between 15 February 2026 and 15 July 2027, and 40% on completion in December 2027. Under that schedule 50% of the price is paid by 15 December 2026 and 60% by 15 July 2027, so the paid share builds steadily during construction and an application before handover becomes possible once the paid-value conditions in force at the time are met. The registration fee is a government charge on top of the price and does not count toward the qualifying value.

Sunset Bay Grand is freehold and open to all nationalities, and co-ownership is possible, but for Golden Visa purposes the qualifying value is commonly assessed on each co-owner's own share of the registered price. On an equal two-way split, even the 3 Bedroom Apartments at AED 3.45M ≈ USD 939K give each owner about AED 1.73M ≈ USD 470K, below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Ownership shared between spouses can be treated differently, so the rules in force at the time of application decide how a joint purchase is assessed.

Mortgage-financed property is commonly accepted for the Golden Visa when the lending bank issues a no-objection letter, while any conditions on the amount paid versus the amount financed are set by the rules in force at the time of application. At Sunset Bay Grand the construction-period instalments are paid under the developer's plan, so a mortgage would most often come into play for the 40% balance due on completion in December 2027, when the bank's no-objection letter would join the application file.

Under the program's current terms, a property-based Golden Visa holder can sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the rules and documents required at the time of application. The visa is issued for a 10-year renewable term, and the position on dependants is covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

That depends on the price at which the resale is registered. The Golden Visa looks at the value recorded on the transfer, so a secondary-market unit at Sunset Bay Grand registered at AED 2M ≈ USD 545K or more can qualify, while one registered below that figure would not qualify on its own. Selling a qualifying apartment also affects the visa it supports, under the conditions in force at the time of sale.

No. Buyers who purchase through this advisory receive the VIP application service free of charge, from preparing the documents to filing the application and tracking its status. The service is free; government fees apply, at the rates the issuing authorities set when the application is filed.

No. A qualifying purchase gives you the right to submit an application, while the decision rests with the UAE residency authorities and turns on every requirement in force when you file, from verification of ownership to the standard security checks. Build progress toward the title deed is tracked on the Sunset Bay Grand construction updates page.
