Windsor House 2 Golden Visa

Only the 3 bedroom apartments, which start from AED 2.33M ≈ USD 635K, above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold applied under the UAE Golden Visa program. The studio from AED 716K ≈ USD 195K, the 1 bedroom from AED 1.27M ≈ USD 346K and the 2 bedroom from AED 1.73M ≈ USD 471K all start below it as single units. Eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the specific unit, so the contract value should be confirmed before applying. Full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.

Not at current starting prices. Even the largest of the three, the 2 bedroom apartment from AED 1.73M ≈ USD 471K, starts below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, and the studio and 1 bedroom apartments sit further under it. These layouts suit a buyer purchasing a home or a rental asset rather than a residency route; within Windsor House 2, the 3 bedroom apartment is the single-unit option that starts above the threshold, subject to the rules in force at the time of application.

Off-plan applications are typically supported by the Oqood registration issued after booking, together with evidence that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed, which follows handover, currently expected in Q3 2028. The process is laid out step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.

The plan is 20% at the time of booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 10% at 60 days and 5% each at 120, 180, 240 and 360 days after the reservation date, four 5% instalments on completion of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% construction of the project, and 30% on completion. The six reservation-date instalments total 50% within 360 days of each buyer's own reservation date, independent of construction progress. At the 0.6% DLD Register Reading recorded on 20 August 2026, none of the construction-linked instalments had been triggered, so early payments follow the calendar, and an application during construction becomes realistic once the paid-value conditions in force are met.

No. The 4% DLD registration fee is a government charge paid to the Dubai Land Department on top of the purchase price, and it is not part of the property value. The threshold is measured against the registered purchase value of the apartment itself, so a 3 bedroom apartment has to reach AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on its contract value alone, with fees excluded.

Mortgaged property is commonly considered under the conditions in force at the time of application, which can include a letter from the lending bank on the amount already paid. Financing for an off-plan apartment depends on the lender, and the qualifying value is still assessed on the registered purchase value, so at Windsor House 2 only the 3 bedroom apartments, from AED 2.33M ≈ USD 635K, start above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Mortgage-related conditions are updated from time to time and should be checked before applying.

Jointly owned property is assessed under the rules in force at the time of application, and under the approach commonly applied each co-owner's share is measured against the qualifying value on its own. An equal two-way split of a 3 bedroom apartment at its starting price of AED 2.33M ≈ USD 635K would leave each share below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, so the ownership structure should be settled before the purchase contract is signed.

The program currently allows a property-based Golden Visa holder to sponsor a spouse and children, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application, so one 3 bedroom apartment at Windsor House 2 registered above the threshold can anchor a family's residency file. Sponsorship rules and their limits are covered in the Golden Visa benefits guide.

The program's current term is 10 years, renewable. Renewal is commonly linked to continuing to hold qualifying property, so selling the 3 bedroom apartment, or replacing it with a unit registered below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, can affect eligibility under the rules in force when renewal is requested.

No. Buyers who purchase through this advisory receive the VIP application service, from preparing the documents to submission and status follow-up, without any service charge. The service is free and government fees apply, at the rates published by the issuing authorities when the application is filed.

No. A qualifying purchase makes a buyer eligible to apply, but approval rests with the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) and depends on meeting every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks.
