The Edit at d3 Golden Visa

It can. The 1 bedroom apartments at The Edit at d3 start at AED 2.00M ≈ USD 545K, level with the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, and a property value of not less than that figure meets the minimum. Because there is no margin, the registered purchase price of the specific unit must not fall below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K; a discount off the listed price would take it under the line. Eligibility remains subject to the regulations in force at the time of application, set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.

A wide margin. 2 bedroom apartments start at AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M, twice the threshold; 3 bedroom plus maid apartments start at AED 7.70M ≈ USD 2.10M; 4 bedroom plus maid apartments at AED 10.70M ≈ USD 2.91M; and 5 bedroom penthouses at AED 34.10M ≈ USD 9.29M. Each of these clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on its own by far more than any normal price negotiation, so the tier itself is not the eligibility question, subject to the rules in force when the application is filed.

Not on its own. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the unit the applicant owns, not on the developer's launch price. A secondary-market 1 bedroom at The Edit at d3 transferred below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would fall short of the minimum property value by itself, even though the same layout reached the line at launch pricing. An owner in that position would need to meet the threshold another way, commonly through further qualifying property, under the conditions in force at the time.

Off-plan applications are commonly supported by the Oqood-registered sale contract, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied by the authorities at the time of application; those conditions are updated from time to time. The Edit at d3 is at an early stage, with the DLD project register at 0.24% on 19 August 2026 and handover anticipated in June 2030, so an early applicant works from Oqood registration for most of the build. The steps are covered in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.

On the launch schedule of record, a buyer pays 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, then instalments that bring the total paid to 45% by March 2027 and 75% by May 2028, with the remaining 25% due on handover. Paid value therefore rises quickly over the first two years and then stays flat until handover, anticipated in June 2030. Where a paid-value condition applies to off-plan applications, the instalment dates show when a buyer is likely to reach it; the exact schedule for a new booking is confirmed by Meraas at reservation.

Generally no. The property value used for eligibility is the registered purchase price of the unit, and the 4% DLD registration fee paid at booking is a government fee on top of that price, not part of it, under the rules commonly applied at the time of writing. This matters most for the 1 bedroom at The Edit at d3, which starts at AED 2.00M ≈ USD 545K: the fee adds no margin above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, so the unit price itself has to reach it.

Before handover, ownership of an off-plan unit at The Edit at d3 is recorded through Oqood registration with the Dubai Land Department, and that registration is what an off-plan application commonly relies on. At handover, anticipated in June 2030, the Oqood record is replaced by a title deed in the owner's name, and applications from then on rest on completed, registered freehold ownership. The Edit at d3 is freehold and open to buyers of all nationalities, so both routes are available to foreign buyers under the conditions in force at the time.

No. For buyers who purchase at The Edit at d3 through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission and status follow-up, is provided free. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.

No. A qualifying purchase makes an owner eligible to apply, but approval depends on meeting every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks, and off-plan conditions are updated from time to time.
