The UAE is characterized by high availability of visas on various grounds. One of the advantages is a simplified legalization procedure for close relatives.
If one family member has obtained a resident visa, he or she can arrange sponsorship for some relatives and even domestic staff, subject to a few conditions:
Proof of income level: for sponsorship of wife - from 4,000 AED, husband - from 5,000 AED, parents - from 20,000 AED
Availability of suitable living conditions:
for husband/wife sponsorship, one-bedroom accommodation will be required;
for parents and children - two bedrooms.
Payment of a deposit for each parent and child. It is important to keep in mind that a child can be sponsored until the child turns 25
Obtaining approvals in certain cases. For example, if the child is sponsored by the mother, an approval from the Federal Office of Identification and Citizenship. If a foster child is being sponsored, approval from the biological parent is required
A daughter can be sponsored until she is married
Proof of parentage through certified legalized documents. When sponsoring parents, it is also important to provide proof that there is no one else to take care of them but you
The procedure consists of several steps:
legalization of the documents confirming kinship;
submission of the sponsor's documents to the state authorities, including a certificate of income and Ejari contract of residence;
obtaining an electronic visa for the entry of dependents;
passing the medical test and biometrics;
obtaining a visa and issuance of Emirates ID.
The dependent visa is issued for a period of 1 to 2 years and is valid as long as the primary resident visa is active. However, after its revocation you can stay in the UAE for one month, then you will need to provide a new basis for staying on the territory of the Emirates.
Thus, the sponsor visa provides comfortable conditions for living in the UAE with your family. Sign up for a free consultation with an Openbiz specialist and learn more about legalization of relatives.
