Eligibility Snapshot
The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary Golden Visa Facts
The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary is a cluster of 375 villas by Sobha Realty within its Sobha Sanctuary master community in Dubailand, off the Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66). On the Dubai Land Department register it is project 4531, registered on 30-07-2026, with a registered construction start date of 01-01-2027 and a registered completion date of 31-08-2030. Its only inspection on record, dated 15-07-2026, reads 0%, the register's first baseline, taken before site works: the monitoring report from that visit found no construction activity on site, so the cluster is off-plan and at the pre-construction stage. For residency planning the numbers are one-sided: 4 Bedroom Garden Villas start at AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M and 5 Bedroom Courtyard Villas at AED 7.35M ≈ USD 2.00M, so the cheapest villa on offer costs more than double the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property value used for the UAE Golden Visa property route, as long as that rule still applies on the day you file. The purchase is recorded through Oqood until the expected Q3 2030 handover, when the title deed follows.

Villa by Villa
Which Villas at The Greens Meet the AED 2M Threshold
At most Dubai price points the Golden Visa question is whether the cheapest unit scrapes past the line. At The Greens it is not close: the entry 4 Bedroom Garden Villa costs more than twice the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and the 5 Bedroom Courtyard Villa more than three and a half times it. Choosing between the two collections is therefore a matter of family size, layout and budget, not of residency.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Bedroom Garden Villa | 2,459 to 3,430 sq ft (228 to 319 sq m) | AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M | Yes |
| 5 Bedroom Courtyard Villa | 4,107 to 4,154 sq ft (382 to 386 sq m) | AED 7.35M ≈ USD 2.00M | Yes |
| Both villa collections at The Greens qualify individually at current starting prices. No second property is needed to reach the threshold. | |||
Check the registered value: eligibility is judged on the purchase value registered with the Dubai Land Department, so the number that counts is the one on the SPA and Oqood for your specific villa, not a starting price on a page. A villa bought later on the resale market for less than AED 2M ≈ USD 545K falls outside the property route by itself, so confirm the contract value of the exact villa before you apply.
Payment Plan and Timing
When The Greens Buyers Can Apply on the 40/60 Plan
The Greens sells on Sobha Realty's 40/60 plan: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 20% during construction, and 60% on handover, so 40% of the price is paid before handover and 60% is due on handover in Q3 2030. As an illustration on the starting price of the lowest qualifying unit, a 4 Bedroom Garden Villa at AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M, that is AED 814,000 ≈ USD 222K on booking, AED 814,000 ≈ USD 222K during construction and AED 2,442,000 ≈ USD 665K on handover; the timing of the construction share is set in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. Off-plan applications typically rest on the Oqood registration of the purchase, plus proof that the contract value clears the minimum and that whatever paid-amount condition the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities apply on the day you file has been satisfied.
My read on the timing at The Greens: the plan is back-loaded, and that shapes the two application windows more than the price does. A buyer who wants residency early can file on the Oqood-registered contract once the paid-amount condition in force is met; by the plan's own split, 40% of the price is paid before handover, the 20% booking payment up front and the 20% construction share on the dates set in the SPA. If the condition applied when you file asks for more than you have paid by then, the realistic window moves to handover in Q3 2030, when the remaining 60% is paid and the title deed is issued, which also makes for the simplest file. The register shows where that calendar begins: the DLD inspection of 15-07-2026 read 0%, with no construction activity on site, and the registered construction start date is 01-01-2027. Off-plan conditions are revised from time to time, so check the current rule before you submit.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me, the full application service, document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. You pay only the official government fees published by the issuing authorities.

The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Both collections. 4 Bedroom Garden Villas start at AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M and 5 Bedroom Courtyard Villas at AED 7.35M ≈ USD 2.00M, so a single villa of either type clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on its own, without combining properties. Eligibility is judged on the registered purchase value of the specific villa, so a resale villa bought for less than AED 2M ≈ USD 545K could not be used by itself. The full criteria are in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.
Off-plan applications are commonly accepted on the strength of the Oqood registration of the purchase, provided the contract value clears the minimum and any paid-amount condition in force at the time of application is met. Buyers who would rather file on completed ownership can wait for the title deed at the expected Q3 2030 handover of The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary. Each step is set out in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.
The plan at The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary is 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 20% during construction and 60% on handover in Q3 2030, so 40% of the price is paid before handover. If the paid-amount condition in force when you apply is higher than what you have paid by then, the application realistically waits until handover. The registration fee is paid on top of the price and does not count toward the purchase value assessed for eligibility.
Mortgaged property has commonly been accepted for the property route when the purchase value meets the minimum and the lending bank supplies the letter the authorities request, but the treatment of financed purchases, including any amount that must be paid from your own funds, is set by the rules in force at the time of application. Whether a lender will finance an off-plan villa at The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary, and on what terms, is a separate question for the bank.
Joint purchases are commonly assessed on each owner's share of the registered value, under the rules in force at the time of application. On an equal two-way split at starting prices, each share of a 5 Bedroom Courtyard Villa at The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary sits well above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, while each share of a 4 Bedroom Garden Villa sits only narrowly above it, so the exact contract value and ownership split should be checked before registration.
The property route of the UAE Golden Visa currently allows the investor to sponsor family members, commonly a spouse and children, subject to the conditions and documents required at the time of application. Sponsored family visas follow the main investor's visa, so they depend on the villa at The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary continuing to meet the qualifying value.
Under the program's current terms, the property route grants a 10-year residency visa that can be renewed, provided the qualifying property is still held and the conditions in force at renewal are met. Selling the villa at The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary, or reducing the holding below the qualifying value, can affect renewal, so the ownership position at that time is what counts.
No. Buyers who purchase a villa at The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary through this advisory receive the VIP Golden Visa application service free: preparing the documents, submitting the file and tracking its status. The service is free, government fees apply: the official fees set by the issuing authorities at the time of application are paid by the applicant.
No. Buying a qualifying villa at The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary makes you eligible to apply, while approval rests with the UAE residency authorities and depends on every condition applicable when you file being met, from verification of ownership to routine security screening. The DLD register record for the project, from its 0% baseline reading of 15-07-2026 onward, can be followed on the construction updates for The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary.
