Which Dubai and Abu Dhabi off-plan projects start at or above the AED 2 million threshold, how the rules work, and what to check before you buy.
Buying property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify you to apply for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa, subject to conditions set by the authorities (including rules for off-plan). Below that, a shorter 2-year investor residency route may apply. Rules change, so Sekenë Properties confirms eligibility for your specific purchase before you commit.
These 9 projects have starting prices at or above the threshold. Unit prices vary, and eligibility depends on the specific unit and payment stage.

Confirm the exact unit price rather than the project starting price, because the threshold is applied to the value of the property you buy. Ask what proof of payment is needed at your stage of construction. Check whether a mortgage affects eligibility for your case. Keep your sale agreement and Oqood registration documents for the application.
