Eligibility Snapshot
Vida Residences Club Point Golden Visa Facts
Vida Residences Club Point is a 672-apartment freehold development by Emaar inside Dubai Hills Estate, registered with construction under way since 5 November 2024 on plot 5367, with a total built-up area of 61,115.19 sq m and recorded at 36.5% progress at the RERA inspection of 22 April 2026. For residency planning the decisive line runs inside the price list rather than around it: one bedroom apartments start at AED 1.61M ≈ USD 438K and sit below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, while two bedroom apartments from AED 2.32M ≈ USD 632K and three bedroom apartments from AED 3.40M ≈ USD 926K clear it on a single registered purchase, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. That makes the typology choice and the residency outcome one decision instead of two. Handover is expected in Q1 2029, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Club Point Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
Most buyers arrive at a project like this having already decided how many bedrooms they need, then discover the residency rule afterwards. At Club Point the two questions collide, because the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line runs straight between the smallest tier and the next one up. The table below states plainly where each typology sits at current starting prices, with limited units available across all three.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 720 to 918 sq ft (67 to 85 sq m) | AED 1.61M ≈ USD 438K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,085 to 1,359 sq ft (101 to 126 sq m) | AED 2.32M ≈ USD 632K | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | 1,478 to 1,813 sq ft (137 to 168 sq m) | AED 3.40M ≈ USD 926K | Yes |
| Two and three bedroom apartments qualify individually. The one bedroom sits below the threshold and reaches it only in combination with another property. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the property, so the gap of roughly AED 390K ≈ USD 106K between the one bedroom entry price and the threshold is not closed by a larger layout inside the same tier. Buyers set on a one bedroom reach the minimum by holding a second qualifying property, and buyers who want a single title should read the two bedroom as the entry point rather than the upgrade.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Club Point Can Apply
Emaar sells Club Point on an 80/20 construction-linked schedule: 10 percent on booking plus the 4 percent DLD registration fee, a further 70 percent across eight instalments tied to construction milestones, and the closing 20 percent on completion in February 2029. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Emaar 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 the timing: the milestone structure is what makes this project unusual to plan around. Because the instalments follow site progress rather than the calendar from your booking date, a unit sold at launch and a unit sold today sit at different points on the same schedule, and with certified progress at 36.5% a meaningful share of the price has already fallen due on the earlier contracts. Buyers relocating families or opening UAE bank accounts usually want residency early and should therefore check the paid-value position on the specific unit before assuming a construction-phase application is available. Investors with no urgency often prefer the cleanest file: wait for handover in Q1 2029, 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.
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 Project
The Twin-Tower Address Behind a Qualifying Apartment
A residency visa runs for ten years, and the apartment that earns it should hold its value just as long. The full Club Point guide covers what the qualifying investment actually buys: layouts, current pricing, the shared amenity podium, and the Dubai Hills Estate community already trading around it.

What to Verify Beyond the AED 2M Threshold
Clearing the threshold is the first test, not the last one. With handover more than two years out, a qualifying purchase at Club Point also depends on verified site progress toward the title deed and on where every instalment sits between booking and completion. The pages below cover both for this project specifically.

Vida Residences Club Point Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
The line falls between the tiers. One bedroom apartments start at AED 1.61M ≈ USD 438K and sit below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, so they do not qualify on their own. Two bedroom apartments start at AED 2.32M ≈ USD 632K and three bedroom apartments at AED 3.40M ≈ USD 926K, and both clear the threshold on a single registered purchase. Full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Not on its own at the current starting price of AED 1.61M ≈ USD 438K. Where a single property falls short, the combined registered value of more than one owned property is commonly accepted toward the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. A second one bedroom here, or a property held elsewhere in Dubai, is the route buyers usually take.
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 at the time of application. Those conditions are updated from time to time. Buyers who prefer the simplest possible file wait for the title deed issued at handover in Q1 2029. The sequence is set out step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The schedule is 10 percent on booking plus the 4 percent DLD registration fee, a further 70 percent across eight construction-linked instalments, and the closing 20 percent on completion in February 2029. Because the instalments are tied to construction milestones rather than to the purchase date, the share already paid on a given unit depends on the stage the towers had reached when it was booked, which is what determines whether a construction-phase application is realistic.
Yes. The project 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. Buyer instalments are held in a DLD-registered escrow account with First Abu Dhabi Bank P.J.S.C., documented on the Vida Residences Club Point escrow account page.
No. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the property, not on the developer list price for the typology. A two bedroom acquired through a resale at a figure under AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on its own, even though the same layout clears the threshold at the current launch pricing of AED 2.32M ≈ USD 632K.
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. A qualifying 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. The 10-year renewable term and what the residency does and does not cover are set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
