Can I bring my family to Dubai under my residency visa?
Yes, UAE residents can sponsor family members, including spouses, children, and parents. Learn the requirements and steps involved.
As a resident of Dubai, you can sponsor family members such as your spouse, children, and parents, provided you meet certain requirements. Sponsoring your family ensures they can legally reside and enjoy the benefits of life in the UAE.
Minimum Salary Requirement: To sponsor family members, you need to meet a minimum monthly income threshold (typically AED 4,000 to AED 10,000, depending on the family members being sponsored).
Required Documents: Sponsorship requires marriage certificates, birth certificates, and passport copies for each family member. These documents must be attested by the appropriate authorities in your home country and the UAE.
Visa Application Process: Once your documents are in order, apply for entry permits and Emirates IDs for your family members. The process usually takes 7 to 10 working days.
Sponsoring your family ensures they can live comfortably with access to healthcare, education, and other essential services.
