How can I apply for family visa in Dubai?
The Family Visa in Dubai is a residence visa that allows expatriates to sponsor their loved ones and bring them to live in the UAE legally. This visa provides security and peace of mind for families who wish to stay together in Dubai.
Any UAE resident holding a valid residence visa and earning the minimum required salary can sponsor their family. Eligible dependents include a spouse, children (sons up to 25 years old and daughters until marriage), and in some cases, parents.
Eligibility requires either a salary of AED 4,000 with Ejari or AED 3,000 with company-provided accommodation. In addition, supporting documents must include an attested marriage certificate and attested birth certificates, which should be legalized by the UAE Embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
To apply for a family visa, several documents are required such as passport copies of the dependents, sponsor’s Emirates ID and residence visa, attested marriage or birth certificates, recent photographs, proof of accommodation (Ejari), and salary certificate or labor contract.
The process involves applying for an entry permit, completing a status change if the dependent is already in Dubai, undergoing a medical fitness test for dependents above 18 years, registering for Emirates ID, and finally stamping the residence visa in the passport.
Family visas in Dubai are typically valid for 1, 2, or 3 years depending on the sponsor’s visa type and must be renewed before expiry. Our team provides complete assistance to make the process smooth and hassle-free.
