Renewing a family visa in Dubai involves several steps and requires specific documents and fees. Here’s a guide to help you through the process:
Eligibility and Requirements
Eligibility
Before initiating the renewal process, ensure you have the following documents:
- Validity: Ensure your current residence visa is still valid. The renewal process should ideally begin 1-2 months before the expiration date to avoid any lapses.

Application Process:
- Medical Examination:
- Dependents may need to undergo a medical fitness test. Visit an approved medical center for the test, and make sure to obtain the necessary certificates.
