Family Visa Sponsorship in Dubai & the UAE

The income and accommodation requirements are set by the immigration authority, differ by emirate and family member, and change from time to time — so we do not quote a figure that may be out of date. We check the current requirement against your salary certificate or company documents before you apply, and tell you plainly if you do not yet qualify.

Yes, where they were issued outside the UAE. They must be legalised in the country of issue — usually by its foreign ministry and the UAE embassy there — and then attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UAE.

Your family’s residence is linked to yours, so it is affected when your own visa is cancelled. Dependants’ visas generally have to be cancelled, or moved to another sponsor, before the sponsor’s own residence can be cancelled. Once your new residence is issued, the family can be sponsored again. We plan the order so nobody is left without status or exposed to overstay fines.

Yes. A female resident can sponsor her husband and children, subject to the criteria the authority sets on matters such as income and accommodation. The rules have changed over time and can differ between emirates, so we check the current position for your emirate and your circumstances before preparing the application.
