Gaining residency by buying property at Al Hamra beach, in Ras Al Khaimah, follows the UAE's single, nationwide federal rule: a property investment of at least AED 2 million opens the door to a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. This is not specific to Al Hamra or to Ras Al Khaimah; the same AED 2 million threshold applies across the UAE, as stated on the federal government's own portal.

What the threshold actually, specifically requires

The AED 2 million figure refers to the property's value, confirmed by the authorities at the time of application, not to a city, a developer, or a brand. No duration for the resulting visa is confirmed in our records, and the detailed conditions, such as how a mortgaged or off-plan property is treated, are confirmed directly with the authorities rather than assumed.

Two Al Hamra beach examples, both currently price on request

Within Al Hamra Village, two beachfront projects could plausibly reach that threshold, but neither publishes a price that lets us confirm it either way. Falcon Island is a 502-home townhouse and villa community on two gated islands near the Al Hamra golf course, with homes from 2 to 7 bedrooms on plots up to 1,000 square metres; price is on request. Waldorf Astoria Residences Ras Al Khaimah is a single 33-home branded building, with 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and 4 and 5 bedroom penthouses; price is also on request.

Why we cannot confirm eligibility today

Given Waldorf Astoria's branded, low-volume positioning and Falcon Island's large villa footprint, a price above AED 2 million is plausible for many configurations in both. But plausible is not confirmed: until the developer releases a figure for the specific unit you want, eligibility is not stated here one way or the other.

The practical process once a confirmed price exists

Once your adviser has a confirmed price for a specific Falcon Island or Waldorf Astoria unit, the sequence is: a signed reservation form, an initial payment confirmed at that stage, registration of the sale, and then a separate Golden Visa application submitted to the relevant authorities, with the property value confirmed as part of that application.

Ras Al Khaimah's own confirmation of the same rule

Ras Al Khaimah's official sources point to the same federal portal for the Golden Visa threshold; there is no separate, emirate-specific residency rule tied to Al Hamra beach or to Ras Al Khaimah property more broadly. The AED 2 million figure is identical whether the property sits in Al Hamra Village, Al Marjan Island, Mina Al Arab, or RAK Central.

Why neither project can be marketed as "Golden Visa eligible"

Marketing a specific unit as automatically eligible before a price is published would overstate what is actually confirmed. Both Falcon Island and Waldorf Astoria Residences remain genuinely price on request, which is why this guide stops at "plausible" rather than stating either project qualifies.

What changes once a price is released

As soon as Al Hamra confirms a price for a specific Falcon Island plot or a specific Waldorf Astoria configuration, your adviser can state clearly whether that unit, on its own, meets the AED 2 million threshold, and then begin the separate residency application process with the relevant authorities.

Next step

Tell your adviser which of the two projects interests you, and we request a current price from the developer so eligibility for the AED 2 million threshold can actually be checked, on WhatsApp at +971 52 776 1939 or at sales@orvenproperties.com.
