The Portman Golden Visa

None at current starting prices. Studio apartments at The Portman start from AED 680K ≈ USD 185K, 1 bedroom apartments from AED 980K ≈ USD 267K and 2 bedroom apartments from AED 1.35M ≈ USD 368K, so every unit type sits below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, subject to the regulations in force at the time of application. The full eligibility criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

AED 650K ≈ USD 177K at the starting price. The 2 bedroom is the highest-priced unit type at The Portman, starting from AED 1.35M ≈ USD 368K for 978 to 1,099 sq ft (91 to 102 sq m), against a property threshold of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Final prices depend on the specific unit, its floor and Ellington's current price list, and the value assessed for the visa is the purchase price registered with the Dubai Land Department.

The plan is 20% at the time of booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 10% 60 days and 10% 120 days after the reservation date, six 5% instalments on completion of 20% to 70% construction of the project, and 30% on completion. The registration fee is a government charge paid on top of the price and does not count toward the property value assessed for the visa. Because that assessment rests on the registered purchase value rather than on the amount paid so far, the schedule shapes cash flow at The Portman but does not lift any unit type to the threshold.

The Portman is freehold, per the developer. An off-plan apartment here is registered on an Oqood with the Dubai Land Department after booking, and the title deed is issued after completion. Both registrations carry the purchase value that the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold is measured against, so the stage of registration does not change the result for a unit priced below it. Ellington's original Q3 2025 handover schedule has passed, so the current completion date should be confirmed with Ellington in writing. Off-plan conditions are explained in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

Not for a single apartment here. Under the conditions commonly applied, a mortgaged property can support an application subject to requirements set by the authorities, such as documentation from the lending bank, but the property value still has to meet the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Financing does not raise the registered price, and no unit type at The Portman reaches that threshold at its starting price. Mortgage conditions are updated from time to time, so the version in force at the time of application is the one that applies.

Under the conditions commonly applied, each co-owner's share of a jointly owned property is assessed against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Because no unit type at The Portman reaches that value at its starting price as a whole apartment, a share of one apartment falls further below it. Joint-ownership rules are updated from time to time and are checked against the version in force at the time of application.

Family sponsorship under the Golden Visa follows from the main investor's own visa: the program commonly allows a holder to sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the conditions in force. A purchase at The Portman does not on its own provide the property basis for that visa, because every unit type starts below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. What the visa covers for family members is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable while the holder continues to meet the conditions in force, including keeping a property that meets the value requirement. For a buyer looking at The Portman, that term depends on holding property worth at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, which no unit type here reaches at its starting price.

The issuing residency authorities decide, at the time of application, after checking ownership records, the registered property value and standard background requirements. A purchase never makes approval automatic, and at The Portman no unit type meets the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value at its starting price. Construction progress toward the eventual title deed is recorded in The Portman construction updates, where the DLD register read 78.67% on 7 August 2026.

No. The VIP processing service offered to buyers who purchase through this advisory is free: preparing the documents, filing the application and tracking its status carry no service charge when the application rests on a property that meets the requirements in force. Government fees apply, at the amounts the issuing authorities publish when the application is made.
