UAE Family Visa

If you are an overseas citizen living in the UAE on a Residence Permit, then you are permitted to bring your family members with you over a UAE Family Visa. But not everybody can bring their family members as particular necessities have to be met.

Necessities to Sponsor for a UAE Family Visa

To be qualified to sponsor family associates to the UAE, you should accomplish the following situations:

• Male immigrants should have a minimum wage of AED 4,000 per month or AED 3,000 per month plus housing
• Female emigrants should have a minimum monthly wage of AED 10,000 or AED 8,000 plus housing

Furthermore, all family associates who are over 18 have to pass a medical test taken at a government permitted health center in the UAE.

Who Eligible to Sponsor?

It is relaxed for a male immigrant to sponsor his family affiliates to the UAE than it is for a female. If you are a male, you can bring the following family associates on a Family Visa to the UAE:

• If you are a Muslim, you may also sponsor two wives, but you should come across individual standings established by the GDRFA
• You can sponsor your sons if they are 18 years old or below 18
• You can be a sponsor of your daughters only if they are single
• You can sponsor your parents if you come across the following circumstances:
  • You sponsor both parents except one of them has passed away
  • You pay a deposit as an assurance for each parent
  • If you get your parents a medical insurance
  • You have a monthly income of AED 20,000 or an AED 19,000 plus a two-bedroom housing
• You can also sponsor your stepchildren if you obtain a written NOC from the biological parent. The visa for stepchildren is legal for one year and renewable

A Woman Sponsor Her Family Associates for a UAE Family Visa

A female resident can sponsor her family associates for a UAE family visa but the standards for a woman to sponsor her family are higher than for a man:

• She can sponsor her husband and children
• She has to earn a monthly wage not lower than AED 10,000 or otherwise AED 8,000 plus housing
• She should work as an engineer, educator, or an occupation linked to the medical sector (doctor, nurse, etc.)
  • In some situations (and only with an endorsement from the DRND), if the female has an adequate monthly income, she could meet the requirements for sponsorship even if she is not working in one of the groups mentioned above
• If she has a spouse who can sponsor the children as an alternative, she is not permitted to do it herself. It should be the husband
