Violet 3 Golden Visa
Where the Threshold Falls Inside a Single Townhouse Typology
Violet 3 is priced as one four bedroom product, but the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K Golden Visa threshold runs straight through it. TH12-4E plots clear it outright from AED 2.22M ≈ USD 604K; TH12-4M plots run from AED 1.911M ≈ USD 520K and only qualify alone at the top of their band.

Eligibility Snapshot
Violet 3 Golden Visa Facts
Violet 3 is a 616-townhouse freehold cluster by DAMAC inside DAMAC Hills 2, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 3222 on 31 October 2024, with construction under way since 18 December 2024 across an 82,202.95 sq m and recorded at 36.2% progress at the latest RERA inspection on 16 May 2026. The detail that decides residency planning here: the cluster sells as a single four bedroom typology in two prototypes, and the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program falls between them. TH12-4E plots begin at AED 2.22M ≈ USD 604K and clear the threshold outright, while TH12-4M plots open at AED 1.911M ≈ USD 520K and reach AED 2.06M ≈ USD 561K, so only their upper band qualifies on a single purchase, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Handover is expected in Q2 2027, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Violet 3 Townhouses Meet the AED 2M Threshold
On most projects the Golden Visa question sorts itself by bedroom count: the small units miss the threshold and the large ones clear it. Violet 3 does not work that way. Every townhouse here has four bedrooms and the two prototypes differ by 63 sq ft, so the residency line is drawn by price band and plot position rather than by layout. That makes the qualifying decision harder to see from a floor plan and easier to get wrong.
| Unit Type | Sellable Area | Current Price Band | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| TH12-4M 4 Bedroom Townhouse | 2,352 sq ft (218 sq m) | AED 1.911M ≈ USD 520K to AED 2.06M ≈ USD 561K | No |
| TH12-4E 4 Bedroom Townhouse | 2,415 sq ft (224 sq m) | AED 2.22M ≈ USD 604K to AED 2.68M ≈ USD 730K | Yes |
| Every TH12-4E townhouse clears the threshold on its own. Within TH12-4M, only plots contracted at or above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K qualify as a single purchase. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, not on a valuation or on the amount paid to date. The entry plot at AED 1.911M ≈ USD 520K sits roughly AED 89K ≈ USD 24K short of the line, which is a small gap in money terms and an absolute one in eligibility terms. If residency is the reason for the purchase, confirm the contract value on your specific plot before you sign, or plan the purchase around combined registered ownership from the outset.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Violet 3 Can Apply
Violet 3 sells on a 70/30 construction-linked schedule: 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 50% spread across small monthly instalments through the build, and 30% on completion. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which DAMAC completes after booking, 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 you apply.
My read on the timing: the instalment structure is unusually friendly to an early application. Because the construction portion is broken into many one percent steps rather than three or four heavy milestones, the paid share rises steadily from month three onward, so buyers who book early in the schedule generally satisfy the commonly applied paid-value conditions long before the 30% completion payment falls due in Q2 2027. Buyers with no urgency often prefer the simplest possible file and wait for the title deed at handover, when the application rests on completed, registered ownership. The one group that should not plan around either window without advice is TH12-4M buyers in the lower price band, whose file depends on either a plot at or above the threshold or a combined ownership structure. Because off-plan requirements are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.

The Project
The Townhouse Behind a Ten Year Residency
A residency visa runs for ten years, and the townhouse that earns it should hold up just as long. The full Violet 3 guide covers what your qualifying purchase actually buys: both prototypes, current pricing, the three-floor layout, and the DAMAC Hills 2 amenity spine it sits opposite.

What to Verify Before a Violet 3 Golden Visa Purchase
A residency purchase at Violet 3 rests on more than the price band. Track the certified build progress that leads to the title deed, and confirm that every instalment lands in the project escrow account rather than with the developer directly.

Violet 3 Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the prototype and the plot. Every TH12-4E townhouse is priced from AED 2.22M ≈ USD 604K upward, so all 212 of them clear the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment on their own. The 404 TH12-4M townhouses run from AED 1.911M ≈ USD 520K to AED 2.06M ≈ USD 561K, which means the threshold falls inside that band: only the higher-priced TH12-4M plots qualify alone. Full eligibility criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
No. The published entry price of AED 1.911M ≈ USD 520K sits roughly AED 89K ≈ USD 24K below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, so the cheapest TH12-4M plot does not qualify as a single purchase. Buyers whose main reason for the purchase is residency either move up to a plot priced at or above the threshold or rely on combined registered ownership across more than one property.
Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the property rather than a valuation, a listing figure or the amount paid to date. For an off-plan townhouse at Violet 3 that value is the price recorded against the Oqood registration at the Dubai Land Department, which is why two neighbouring TH12-4M plots with different contract values can land on opposite sides of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line.
Combined registered ownership is the route commonly used where a single property falls short of the qualifying value, and it is relevant here because the lower TH12-4M band does not clear the threshold alone. The properties have to be registered to the same owner and the criteria applied to combined ownership are updated from time to time, so the current conditions should be confirmed before a purchase is structured that way. The Golden Visa application guide covers how ownership is evidenced.
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 possible file wait for the title deed issued at handover in Q2 2027. Those conditions are updated from time to time, so the current position is worth confirming before submission. The sequence is set out in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan takes 20% on booking plus the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee, 50% across construction-linked instalments, and 30% on completion. Because the construction portion is broken into small monthly steps rather than a few heavy milestones, the paid share climbs gradually, and buyers who book early in the schedule reach the commonly applied paid-value conditions well before the Q2 2027 completion payment falls due.
Yes. Violet 3 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 project is registered under number 3222 and buyer instalments are held in a DLD-registered escrow account with Dubai Islamic Bank, as set out on the Violet 3 escrow account 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.
The property route currently carries a 10-year renewable residency term, and the holder may sponsor a spouse and children under the criteria in force at the time of application. The term and the sponsorship rules belong to the programme rather than to Violet 3, and both are set out in full in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
No. A qualifying purchase makes an applicant eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Build status ahead of the Q2 2027 handover is published on the Violet 3 construction updates page.
