What is the DUBAI Family Visa?

The DUBAI Family Visa is a long-term residency visa that permits expatriates to sponsor their family members, such as their spouse, children, and other eligible dependents, to live with them in the UAE. This visa offers great flexibility, allowing families to reunite, enjoy the UAE’s modern lifestyle, and make the most of the world-class healthcare and education services available in the country.

Eligibility Criteria for the DUBAI Family Visa

To qualify for a DUBAI Family Visa, the sponsor (the primary resident) must meet certain criteria based on their employment and income status. Here are the general requirements:

• Salaried Individuals:

• The sponsor must have a minimum monthly salary (typically starting at AED 4,000 to AED 5,000) for a family visa application.
• The sponsor should have a valid residency permit and employment contract in the UAE.

• Residence Status:

• The sponsor must hold a valid UAE residence permit.
• If the sponsor is an expatriate living in a free zone or on a mainland visa, they must have an approved status to sponsor family members.

• Business Owners and Investors:

• If you are a business owner or investor, you must provide proof of your company’s financial stability and demonstrate your capacity to sponsor family members.

Who Can Be Sponsored under the Dubai Family Visa?

The UAE Family Visa allows sponsorship for several categories of family members, including:

• Spouse : A husband or wife can be sponsored to join their spouse in the UAE.

• Children : Dependent children can be sponsored, with no age limit for sons, provided they are studying and financially dependent. For unmarried daughters, there is no age limit if they are dependent.

• Parents: In some cases, you may be able to sponsor your parents if you meet specific salary and housing requirements.

 

• Other Dependents : In special cases, family members who are financially dependent (e.g., siblings or grandparents) may also be eligible for sponsorship.
