About Dependent Visas

Bring your family to the UAE under your sponsorship

Once you hold a valid UAE residence visa you can sponsor your immediate family as dependents. Spouses and children are the most common, and parents can be sponsored subject to salary and insurance conditions. The application requires attested marriage and birth certificates, proof of income or investor status, a tenancy contract and health insurance for each dependent, followed by the same entry permit, medical and Emirates ID steps as any residence visa. Document attestation is where most families lose time, because certificates issued abroad must be legalised in the home country and then by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We check your eligibility up front, coordinate the attestations, and process each family member's visa in parallel so everyone is settled together.

Visas for sons and daughters, with attested birth certificates and guidance on the age and marital-status rules that apply to older children.

Sponsorship of parents where you meet the higher salary threshold and can provide the required insurance and accommodation, including the annual deposit where applicable.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about dependent visas

The general threshold is AED 4,000 per month, or AED 3,000 plus accommodation. Investors and partners qualify through their company ownership rather than a salary. Parent sponsorship requires a higher income and additional conditions, which we confirm during the eligibility check.
