! Expert's comment
Quite often, when processing residence visas, we discover that a client has overstayed their previous (tourist) visa, resulting in a fine. Typically, this is 75 dirhams for each additional day. Please understand that if such a fine is imposed, you will have to pay it first before we can proceed with the application.

Frequently asked questions
about family visa
What are the sponsor income requirements?
The minimum income must be at least AED 6,000. You will also need to provide proof of your family's living space (owned or rented).
How to prove a sponsor's income?
If the sponsor receives income within the UAE, proof will be a standard salary certificate, payslip, and bank statement.
If the sponsor is a real estate investor, a bank statement will be required, reflecting the income required to support a specified number of family members.
If the sponsor is a freelancer, they will need to request a salary certificate from their free zone and also provide a bank statement.
If the sponsor is a Digital Nomad visa holder, they must provide a bank statement reflecting the income required to support a specified number of family members, as well as proof of adequate living space for the family.

Is it possible to relocate the parents?
Yes, but it's much more difficult than with a husband/wife and children.
You will need to prove you have sufficient living space for the entire family. If it's a shared apartment, it must be large. If you provide your parents with a separate apartment, you will need to provide an additional Ejari for the same.
Furthermore, the sponsor's income requirement increases to AED 15,000 per month.
There is no age limit for the parents.

Is it possible to have documents certified in your country?
Generally speaking, yes.
In this case, you will first need to have it certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your country, then have the documents translated into Arabic by a certified translation agency (any translation agency or Google Translate won't do), and then have the translated document certified by your country's consulate in the UAE and by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates.
However, our clients' experience shows that it's easier to complete all procedures using a simplified process, for example, by using our document legalization service.

How long is a visa granted to family members?
The validity period of family members' visas is the same as the sponsor's visa. However, if the sponsor fails to extend the visa or loses it for other reasons (for example, selling the property for which the visa was issued), the visas of all sponsored persons must also be cancelled.
Can children go to school etc.?
Yes, with a resident visa, children can attend kindergarten, school, and other services as usual.
Sponsored adults also receive all the benefits of a resident visa, including the ability to obtain a local driver's license, open a bank account, and a long-term communication contract.

Can family members not apply for a residence permit?
Yes, of course. However, in this case, it's important to understand that their stay in the country will be limited to the tourist visa. Family members without a residence permit will not be able to obtain third-country visas (such as Schengen visas) to the UAE, and children will not be able to attend school or kindergarten. However, this type of residence is generally not prohibited by law.
