Does Bay Estate Qualify for the Golden Visa?
Every published Bay Estate typology sits above the AED 2 million Golden Visa investment threshold, from the AED 5.9 million townhouse to the AED 20 million beach plot. Exact conditions, including for off-plan purchases, are confirmed with the UAE authorities.
Yes, on price alone: every typology at Bay Estate sits above the AED 2 million threshold that opens the door to a Golden Visa application, from the AED 5.9 million 3-bedroom townhouse up to the AED 20 million beach plot. Whether a specific purchase actually qualifies, and the exact conditions attached, are confirmed with the relevant UAE authorities, not guaranteed by any published price alone.
What the threshold covers
A property investment of at least AED 2 million in the UAE opens the door to applying for a Golden Visa, a long-term residence visa. Every one of Bay Estate's seven published products clears this threshold on its average price:
| Typology | Average price (AED) |
|---|---|
| 3-bed townhouse | 5.9 million |
| 4-bed townhouse | 6.9 million |
| 4-bed semi-detached (G+1) | 7.2 million |
| 4-bed semi-detached "Plus" (G+2) | 8.9 million |
| 4-bed garden villa | 10 million |
| Waterfront land plot | 18 million |
| Beach land plot | 20 million |
Even the smallest published product, the 3-bedroom townhouse, is priced nearly three times above the AED 2 million threshold. This is a starting point for eligibility on price, not a guarantee: the Golden Visa programme carries its own conditions on the property itself and the applicant, confirmed with the relevant UAE authorities.
What to verify before assuming eligibility
The published average price is one input; the rest of the Golden Visa conditions, including how an off-plan purchase like Bay Estate is treated compared to a completed property, are set by the authorities and can depend on your specific circumstances. Orven does not confirm eligibility on your behalf; we point you to the right process and documentation, and you confirm the details with the relevant UAE authority as part of your application. Our guide on the Golden Visa's AED 2 million property threshold covers the general rules that apply across Dubai property investments.

How an off-plan purchase factors in
Bay Estate is sold off-plan, with the price paid in instalments across the schedule described in our Bay Estate payment plan guide, rather than as a single payment. Whether the Golden Visa application process requires the property to be fully paid, or can proceed against an off-plan purchase already registered through Oqood, is a detail the authorities confirm case by case. Ask your Orven advisor to walk through the current requirement before you plan around it.
Next steps
If a Golden Visa is part of your reason for considering Bay Estate, tell your Orven advisor early so we can point you toward the current process and the documentation the authorities require, alongside the property transaction itself.

FAQ
Does buying any Bay Estate unit automatically grant a Golden Visa? No. Clearing the AED 2 million price threshold is a starting point, not an automatic grant. The visa itself is issued under conditions set by the relevant UAE authorities.
Which Bay Estate typology is closest to the threshold? The 3-bedroom townhouse, at an average AED 5.9 million, still sits well above the AED 2 million minimum.
Does an off-plan purchase qualify the same way as a completed property? This is confirmed by the relevant authorities case by case. Orven can point you to the current process but does not confirm eligibility on your behalf.
Do land plots at Bay Estate also qualify on price? Yes, on price: both the AED 18 million waterfront plot and the AED 20 million beach plot clear the threshold. The same eligibility conditions apply as for any Bay Estate purchase.
Who confirms the exact Golden Visa conditions for my case? The relevant UAE authorities. Orven guides you through the property transaction and points you to the correct process, but does not substitute for official confirmation.
