Eligibility for a UAE Residency & Visa for dependents is strictly tied to the sponsor’s monthly income.
Male Sponsors: Must earn a minimum monthly salary of 4,000 AED, or 3,000 AED if the employer provides managed accommodation.
Female Sponsors: Typically require a higher salary threshold, often starting at 10,000 AED per month, depending on the specific Emirate and professional category.
Parental Sponsorship: To sponsor parents, the UAE government generally requires a minimum salary of 20,000 AED, along with a refundable security deposit for each parent.
Navigating the rules for different family members requires specialized documentation assistance:
Sons: Can be sponsored up to the age of 25. If they are over 18, they must undergo the mandatory medical fitness test.
Daughters: Can be sponsored indefinitely by their parents as long as they remain unmarried.
Spouse: A marriage certificate must be fully legalized in the country of origin, attested by the UAE Embassy, and finally verified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE.
As part of your business setup in Dubai, proving you have adequate living space is a mandatory requirement for family residency.
Ejari Registration: Sponsors must provide a registered tenancy contract (Ejari). For larger families, immigration authorities may require proof of a multi-bedroom apartment to ensure suitable living conditions.
Medical Fitness & Emirates ID Support: All dependents aged 18 and above must pass a health screening for communicable diseases. We manage the scheduling for these tests and provide comprehensive Emirates ID support to capture the necessary biometric data for every family member.
