Family Visa Dubai
A family visa in Dubai is essential for expatriates who wish to sponsor their family members and bring them to live with them in the UAE. This visa is not just a legal requirement; it represents security and stability for families living abroad. Whether you are an employee or a business owner in Dubai, obtaining a family visa allows you to sponsor your spouse, children, and, in some cases, your parents.
At Dubai Visa, we simplify the entire visa application process with our PRO services, ensuring that every document is attested, translated, and filed accurately, saving you time and stress.
Who is Eligible to Apply for a Family Visa in Dubai?
To sponsor a family member, there are certain eligibility criteria set by the UAE government that must be met. The primary sponsor (expatriate) must hold valid residency in Dubai and meet the required minimum salary threshold. Currently, the minimum salary requirement is:
- AED 4,000 with accommodation provided by the employer, or
- AED 3,500 without accommodation.
Eligible Family Members:
- Spouse: You can sponsor your spouse if you meet the salary criteria.
- Children: Sons can be sponsored until the age of 18, and daughters can remain on the family visa as long as they are unmarried.
- Parents: Sponsoring parents is possible under certain conditions, typically requiring a higher salary threshold and proof that no one else can care for them in their home country.
Female Sponsors:
While men can sponsor their families with ease, female sponsors face slightly stricter conditions. They need to earn a higher salary and provide proof of special circumstances that justify their sponsorship, such as being the sole provider.
