FAQs: UAE Family Visa & Sponsorship
What is the minimum salary to sponsor my family?
The minimum monthly salary is AED 4,000, or AED 3,000 plus employer-provided accommodation. Different rules apply for sponsoring parents (higher salary threshold) and, in some cases, for female sponsors — we confirm your exact requirement during consultation.
What documents are needed to sponsor my spouse and children?
Your passport/visa/Emirates ID, attested marriage certificate, attested birth certificates for children, tenancy contract (Ejari), salary certificate, and medical insurance for all dependents. We provide a complete personalized checklist.
How long does the entire process take?
The entry permit application takes 5–7 working days. After your family enters the UAE, the residence visa process (medical, Emirates ID, stamping) typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, provided all documents are complete.
Can I sponsor my parents?
Yes, you can sponsor both parents together. This requires meeting a higher financial threshold (typically AED 20,000/month), paying a refundable deposit for each parent, and arranging mandatory medical insurance for them.
What happens if my employment visa is cancelled?
Your dependents' visas are linked to yours. If your visa is cancelled, theirs are automatically cancelled. Dependents then have a 6-month grace period to either leave the country or obtain a new residence visa under a different sponsor.
