Resident visa for family members, parents of residents

The United Arab Emirates supports the principle of an open policy for investors and their family members. There are several special nuances to the issuance of a resident visa for relatives:

• It is possible to sponsor not only biological children but also adopted children, provided that the biological parents give their consent
• If the investor sponsors parents, the deposit is made for each parent.
• Sponsoring retired parents increases the income requirements of the sponsor
• As required by law for daughters, only unmarried children can be sponsored
• Visas for family members can be extended without restriction

Before applying for a resident visa for family members, parents of residents, translate the documents into English and officially stamped by the consulate of the applicant’s country.

The decision to issue a visa is made after reviewing the package of documents, which includes:

• Application
• Photo
• Sponsor’s Emirates ID
• Marriage and birth certificates for children (certified by the UAE embassy in the country of birth and after arrival in the Emirates by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
• Certified employment contract for employees of private companies or certified salary certificate for sponsors who work in state companies.
• Rental agreement for accommodation that meets minimum legal requirements
• Medical certificates for all family members over 15 years of age
• A written statement confirming that the daughter above 18 years of age is not a married woman
• NOC from the husband if the children’s resident visa is sponsored by the wife

The decision to issue a visa is considered on an individual basis, so additional information may be requested.
