The Lana Residences Golden Visa

The UAE Golden Visa property route applies a minimum investment of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, subject to the regulations in force at the time of application. The Lana Residences starts at AED 26.50M ≈ USD 7.20M for a 2 bedroom + study residence, more than thirteen times that minimum, and the collection is freehold and open to all nationalities. Every criterion of the program is set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

All six. 2 bedroom + study residences start at AED 26.50M ≈ USD 7.20M, 3 bedroom residences at AED 37.00M ≈ USD 10.07M, 4 bedroom residences and 4 bedroom duplexes at AED 52.00M ≈ USD 14.16M, 4 bedroom penthouses at AED 121.25M ≈ USD 33.01M and 5 bedroom penthouses at AED 140.00M ≈ USD 38.10M, so each type qualifies on its own without combining properties. Eligibility is still assessed on the value registered for your specific residence.

Because the building is recorded as complete, a purchase is normally registered toward a title deed rather than an Oqood contract, and a title deed in the buyer's name is the most direct ownership document for a property-based application. The building is registered with the DLD as Dorchester Collection Dubai (project 2052), a registration that covers both the Dorchester Collection hotel and The Lana Residences, and the register shows its status as Finished. The registration route for a remaining residence is confirmed by OMNIYAT and the Dubai Land Department at the time of purchase.

Generally yes, provided the transfer is registered at the Dubai Land Department and the value recorded on the new title deed meets the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum applied at the time of application. A resale is assessed on its own registered value, not on the price OMNIYAT originally charged, so the recorded value on the transfer is the figure to confirm before applying.

OMNIYAT's launch plan of record was 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 15% on signing the SPA, 25% six months after signing, 25% on residence completion and 25% twelve months from completion. The registration fee is a transfer cost paid on top of the purchase price, not part of it. With the building now complete, timing for a buyer today depends on the terms OMNIYAT confirms at booking: a purchase settled in full at transfer typically leads straight to title deed registration, while instalments still outstanding after transfer bring the paid-value conditions applied at the time of application into play.

Mortgaged property has commonly been accepted for the property route, subject to conditions set by the authorities that have typically included a no-objection letter from the lending bank and rules on how much of the purchase value must already be paid. These conditions are updated from time to time, so the current rule on financed purchases should be confirmed before a mortgage is relied on for the application.

Joint ownership has commonly been accepted where each owner's registered share meets the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, with specific treatment for spouses set by the rules in force at the time of application. As plain arithmetic, an equal two-way split of the AED 26.50M ≈ USD 7.20M entry price gives each owner AED 13.25M ≈ USD 3.61M. How the shares are recorded on the title deed, and the joint-ownership rule current when you apply, decide the outcome.

The program currently allows a property-based Golden Visa holder to sponsor family members, commonly a spouse and children, subject to the eligibility conditions and documents required at the time of application. A dependant's residency is generally linked to the main holder's visa. The scope of family sponsorship is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The property-based Golden Visa currently carries a 10-year renewable term. Renewal is generally tied to continuing to hold qualifying property at the value required when you renew, so selling the residence, or reducing a registered share below the minimum, can affect renewal. Renewal conditions follow the regulations in force at that time.

The usual sequence is registering the purchase and receiving the title deed at the Dubai Land Department, submitting the Golden Visa application with the title deed and personal documents, completing the medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics, and then receiving the residency. Processing times vary with the issuing authority and the completeness of the file. Each stage is explained in the how to apply for the UAE Golden Visa guide.

It does not grant UAE citizenship, it does not guarantee approval, and it does not remove the official government fees. Owning a qualifying residence opens the door to an application; the decision still rests with the issuing authorities, who verify ownership, run their usual security screening and apply the rules current on the filing date. The building's DLD register record, including the 11 January 2024 inspection, is documented on the construction updates page for The Lana Residences.

No service fee applies for buyers who purchase through this advisory: the VIP application service, from preparing the documents to submitting the file and tracking its status, is free, and only the official government fees apply, as set by the issuing authorities when the application is made.
