The Mural by Beyond Golden Visa
Residency Through a Single Waterfront Residence
Every priced tier at The Mural opens above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K Golden Visa threshold, starting at AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K. The real question here is not which residences qualify, it is when the 50/50 payment plan lets you file, and what changes at the Q4 2028 handover.

Eligibility Snapshot
The Mural by Beyond Golden Visa Facts
The Mural is a 268-residence freehold tower by Beyond Developments in Dubai Maritime City, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 3650 on 11 April 2025, with construction under way since 10 October 2025 across a 29,505.59 sq m plot and recorded at 8.2% progress at the RERA inspection of 7 May 2026, where enabling, piling and foundation works were logged as ongoing. The number that decides the residency question is the entry point: a one bedroom apartment starts at AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K, roughly 45 per cent clear of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Every tier above it sits further clear again, so eligibility screening is not the exercise at this address. Timing is. Handover is expected in Q4 2028, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Residences at The Mural Meet the AED 2M Threshold
On most Dubai towers this section is a filter: some tiers reach the threshold, some do not, and the buyer works out where the line falls. The Mural has no such line inside it. The smallest apartment in the building already carries a contract value 45 per cent above the minimum, which means the residency decision never competes with the layout decision here. What you are choosing between is scale of home and floor band, not eligibility.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 749 to 1,022 sq ft (70 to 95 sq m) | AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,185 to 1,816 sq ft (110 to 169 sq m) | AED 5.40M ≈ USD 1.47M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | 1,563 to 2,198 sq ft (145 to 204 sq m) | AED 7.50M ≈ USD 2.04M | Yes |
| 4 Bedroom Penthouse | 5,778 sq ft (537 sq m) | AED 34.30M ≈ USD 9.34M | Yes |
| Every priced tier at The Mural qualifies individually. No combining of properties is needed at any level of the building. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a one bedroom apartment bought at AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K stays above the threshold from the moment the contract is registered, well before handover. A secondary-market unit later repriced below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on its own, so confirm the contract value on your specific unit before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at The Mural Can Apply
The Mural sells on a 50/50 structure: 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, a further 10% one month after booking, then six instalments of 5% on fixed calendar dates running from April 2026 through March 2028, with the remaining 50% falling due at completion. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which the developer completes after booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on this plan: the back-loading is what makes timing the live question at The Mural rather than eligibility. Where a paid-value condition is applied to off-plan files, it is commonly measured against the same AED 2M ≈ USD 545K figure rather than a percentage of the contract, and the 50/50 split means the amount actually paid before handover is exactly half the purchase price. On a one bedroom apartment that is AED 1.45M ≈ USD 395K, short of the mark even after every construction instalment has cleared. On a two bedroom apartment it is AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, and on a three bedroom apartment AED 3.75M ≈ USD 1.02M, both comfortably past it. The registered contract value clears the threshold in every tier; the paid value before handover only does so from the two bedroom tier upward.
In practice that gives two different plans depending on what you bought. Buyers in the two bedroom tier and above who want residency early, usually to relocate a family or open UAE bank accounts, can work toward an application during the construction period on the strength of the Oqood-registered contract once the applicable conditions are met. One bedroom buyers, and anyone who simply prefers the cleanest possible file, are better served planning around the Q4 2028 handover, when the title deed is issued and the application rests on completed, registered ownership. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting rather than relying on the position described here.

The Mural by Beyond Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Every priced tier does. One bedroom apartments start at AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K, two bedroom apartments at AED 5.40M ≈ USD 1.47M, three bedroom apartments at AED 7.50M ≈ USD 2.04M, and the four bedroom penthouse is quoted at AED 34.30M ≈ USD 9.34M. The entry tier alone sits about 45 per cent clear of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, so no combining of properties is required at any level of the building. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time of application. Buyers who prefer the simplest file can wait for the title deed issued at handover in Q4 2028, when the application rests on completed, registered ownership. The sequence is set out step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan releases 10 per cent on booking plus the 4 per cent DLD fee, a further 10 per cent one month later, six instalments of 5 per cent on fixed dates between April 2026 and March 2028, and the remaining 50 per cent at completion. That back-loading matters, because where a paid-value condition is applied it is commonly measured against the same AED 2M ≈ USD 545K figure rather than a percentage of the contract. Half of a one bedroom purchase is AED 1.45M ≈ USD 395K, which falls short of that mark before handover, while half of a two bedroom purchase reaches AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K and clears it.
These two duplex formats sit inside the three bedroom collection, at roughly 2,024 to 2,797 sq ft (188 to 260 sq m) for the Signature Collection across levels 8, 9, 20 and 21, and 2,956 to 2,984 sq ft (275 to 277 sq m) for the maisonettes on the podium levels. Both are quoted per unit rather than against a published tier price, and eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value written into the contract, so the figure on the specific unit is what settles the question.
Yes. The Mural is freehold and open to all nationalities, with ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility. The plot sits in Madinat Dubai Almelaheyah, the registry name for the Dubai Maritime City peninsula, and buyer payments run through a DLD-registered escrow account held with Commercial Bank of Dubai, detailed on the The Mural escrow account page.
The tower was registered under project number 3650 on 11 April 2025 and construction started on 10 October 2025, with the RERA inspection of 7 May 2026 recording 8.2 per cent progress and logging enabling, piling and foundation works as ongoing. At this stage ownership is evidenced by Oqood registration rather than a title deed, and that distinction is what shapes which application route is open. Progress is tracked on the The Mural construction updates page.
No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.
No. The purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Requirements for off-plan applications are also updated from time to time, so the conditions current on the day you submit are the ones that govern the file. The program benefits and the ten year renewable term are set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
