Dubai Golden Visa properties from Danube
A Dubai property purchase of AED 2 million or more can support a 10 year, renewable UAE Golden Visa for the buyer, their spouse and children. 5 Danube developments start at or above that threshold today, and 11 more sit below it where two units can be combined to qualify. Everything below reflects current Dubai Land Department practice; the DLD makes the final assessment on every application.
From purchase to 10 year residency
1. Buy a qualifying property
The property, or the combined value of several properties, must be worth at least AED 2 million. Off-plan purchases from an approved developer can qualify, and mortgaged homes can qualify where the required equity is met.
2. Register at the Dubai Land Department
Ownership is recorded as a title deed for ready homes or an Oqood registration for off-plan units. The DLD valuation certificate is what the visa application is assessed against.
3. Apply through DLD or ICP
Applications run through the Dubai Land Department's Golden Visa desk or the federal ICP channel. Passport, Emirates ID or entry status, property documents and a medical test make up the core file.
4. Add your family
The 10 year residency is renewable and can be extended to a spouse, children and, subject to conditions, parents and domestic staff, all sponsored by the investor.
Danube projects at or above the AED 2 million threshold
Starting prices are the lowest current entry price per development. Larger layouts in the other Danube projects also cross AED 2 million, so ask for the specific unit list.

Golden Visa questions
What is the property threshold for the Dubai Golden Visa?
AED 2 million or more in Dubai property, either a single home or several combined, valued by the Dubai Land Department. Below that level, a 2 year investor residency is available from AED 750,000.
Does an off-plan Danube property qualify for the Golden Visa?
Off-plan homes bought from an approved developer can qualify once the purchase is registered and the required value is paid. Because rules are applied case by case, confirm the current position with the Dubai Land Department before relying on it.
Can I combine several Danube apartments to reach AED 2 million?
Yes. The Dubai Land Department accepts the combined value of more than one property, which suits buyers assembling a small rental portfolio on the 1% monthly plan instead of one large unit.
How long is the visa valid and can it be renewed?
The investor Golden Visa is issued for 10 years and is renewable while the qualifying property is still owned and valued at or above the threshold.
What does the purchase cost on top of the price?
Budget roughly 8% of the price in total for Dubai Land Department transfer at about 4%, registration and admin fees, with separate government fees for the visa application, medical and Emirates ID.
Do I have to live in the UAE to keep the visa?
The Golden Visa does not lapse from long absences the way a standard residence visa can, which is why overseas investors use it to hold UAE residency while living elsewhere.
