Off-plan homes above the AED 2M Golden Visa threshold

518 off-plan projects selling across the UAE open at or above AED 2,000,000 — the property investment threshold behind the UAE Golden Visa — from 188 developers. Because that figure is each project's cheapest home, every published layout on this list clears the line on price. Eligibility itself is decided on the value registered with the land department, and the rules differ between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Availability and pricing refresh daily.

What this list is measuring

One thing only: the project's own starting price, at or above AED 2,000,000. That price is the cheapest home the developer publishes, so on these 518 projects every layout is above the line rather than only the penthouse. It is the same test that answers the Golden Visa question on each project's own page — one predicate, so a project and this list can never disagree.

It is also conservative. 465 of the 696 UAE projects that start below AED 2,000,000 publish a top price at or above it, so a larger layout in a cheaper project can reach the threshold too — it is simply not something an entry price can promise.

What it is not

Not an eligibility decision, and not immigration advice. The threshold is read against the value registered with the land department — Oqood in Dubai, an approved-developer agreement in Abu Dhabi — not against a marketing price, and Abu Dhabi additionally counts the buyer's own paid capital rather than the property's total value. Dubai and Abu Dhabi run different files, at different speeds.

Our guide sets out what qualifies, what changed for off-plan buyers in February 2026, and where the official sources currently contradict each other on the permit's term — we flag the disagreement rather than pick a side: the Golden Visa through property.
