The Brooks at Sobha Sanctuary Golden Visa

Both. The 4 Bedroom Garden Villas start at AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M and the 5 Bedroom Courtyard Villas at AED 7.35M ≈ USD 2.00M, so each villa type sits above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value by itself and no villa type at The Brooks falls below it. The test is the registered purchase value of the specific villa, under the rules in force at the time of application. Layouts and current pricing are set out in The Brooks at Sobha Sanctuary project guide.

Off-plan applications are commonly supported by the Oqood, the interim Dubai Land Department registration completed after booking and SPA signing, backed by evidence that the contract value qualifies and that any paid-value condition set at the time of application has been met. Those conditions are updated from time to time, so the current position should be confirmed before submitting. The alternative is to apply once the title deed is issued at the Q3 2030 handover, which gives the most straightforward file. Both routes are compared in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

The plan runs on dates counted from booking rather than on construction stages: 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, which is paid to the Dubai Land Department and does not count toward the qualifying property value, then 10% at 6, 12, 24 and 30 months from booking, and 40% on handover. The share paid therefore reaches 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% on a fixed calendar whatever the site register shows, which makes it simple to see when any paid-value condition in force at the time of application would be met.

The Brooks appears on the Dubai Land Department register as project number 4532, registered on 30 July 2026, with a construction start date listed as 1 January 2027 and a registered completion date of 31 August 2030. The only inspection on the register, recorded on 15 July 2026, reads 0%, with no construction activity recorded on site. Off-plan applications generally rest on a DLD-registered project and an Oqood-registered purchase; whether any further condition linked to project stage applies is set by the authorities and updated from time to time, so it should be confirmed when applying. Register readings are followed on The Brooks at Sobha Sanctuary construction updates page.

Financed purchases have commonly been accepted for property-based Golden Visa applications, typically with supporting documents from the lending bank, under conditions set by the authorities and updated from time to time. How the amount paid and the outstanding balance are treated, particularly on an off-plan purchase such as The Brooks, depends on the rules in force at the time of application. Current documentation is listed in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

Joint ownership is commonly assessed share by share, with each co-owner's portion of the registered value expected to meet the qualifying amount, although the treatment of spouses and other arrangements is set by the authorities at the time of application. On a 4 Bedroom Garden Villa at AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M, an equal split leaves each share at AED 2.00M ≈ USD 545K, level with the threshold rather than above it, while an equal split of a 5 Bedroom Courtyard Villa at AED 7.35M ≈ USD 2.00M leaves each share at AED 3.68M ≈ USD 1.00M. Confirm the exact ownership shares before the purchase is registered.

The property-based Golden Visa commonly allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with sponsorship of other relatives and domestic staff subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. Dependants' residency is usually linked to the main holder's visa. The scope of the visa, and its limits, are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term for property investors is 10 years, renewable while the qualifying conditions continue to be met. Because the visa rests on the property, selling the villa at The Brooks, or reducing the registered holding below the qualifying value, can affect renewal under the rules in force at that time. Buyers who may resell before the Q3 2030 handover should weigh this when choosing whether to apply on the Oqood or wait for the title deed.

No. When a villa at The Brooks is bought through this advisory, the VIP Golden Visa processing service is free: it covers preparing the documents, submitting the application and following its status. Government fees still apply, at the level the issuing authorities set when the application is filed.

No. A qualifying purchase makes a buyer eligible to apply; approval rests with the issuing authorities and depends on every requirement in force when the application is filed, including verification of the registered ownership and standard background checks. The sequence from registration to Emirates ID is covered in the UAE Golden Visa application guide.
