Hello everyone,
I’ve just received my employment residency visa in Dubai and I’m planning to bring my family over as soon as possible. I’ve heard that residents can sponsor their dependents, but I’m not clear on the exact requirements.
My questions are:
-
What minimum salary or housing requirements must I meet to sponsor my spouse and children?
-
How long does the family visa process usually take once my residency is approved?
-
What documents are needed for dependent sponsorship (marriage certificate, birth certificates, etc.)?
-
Are medical tests required for dependents as part of the visa process?
-
Can dependents work in Dubai once they are on a family visa, or do they need separate sponsorship?
I’d appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through this process recently.
