As a foreigner and if you are holding a job in UAE, you can apply for family members to visit you in the country. A family member is someone who is related to an expatriate by blood or marriage, such as his wife or husband and children, who may join him in the UAE. The sponsor must be legally allowed to work in the UAE and should be residing legally in the country. The sponsor will be permitted to bring one dependant spouse with him into the country. Children who are unmarried and below 21 years of age will also be included. Up to three children under the age of 23 years old can also be included in the visa application of their parents.

The UAE is one of the most attractive choices for expatriates in general, and for investors in particular. Heading towards a bright future and attracting to it more people from all over the world, the UAE government has created a special incentive package for those who wish to live there. The visa issued by the UAE Embassy covers the whole family; the holder can be employed and his/her dependents can study their education without any restriction. The visa does not require work permit or prior sponsorship. It is a “visa on arrival”, covering both residence and work purposes as well.

Requirements to Sponsor Someone for a UAE Family Visa

• Male expatriates must have a minimum salary of AED 4,000 per month or AED 3,000 per month plus accommodation
• Female expatriates must have a minimum monthly salary of AED 10,000 or AED 8,000 plus accommodation

Additionally, all family members who are over 18 have to pass a medical fitness test taken at a government-approved health centre in the UAE. They will be tested for HIV and Tuberculosis.

Who Can you Sponsor for a UAE Family Visa?

It is easier for a male expatriate to sponsor his family members to the UAE than it is for a woman. If you are a man who is on the UAE on a Residence Visa, you can bring the following family members on a Family Visa to the UAE:

• Your wife. If you are a Muslim resident, you may also sponsor two wives but you must meet certain terms set out by the GDRFA.
• Your sons. You can sponsor your sons only if they are 18 or under. If the sons are over 18, you can still sponsor them but only if they are students, and only up to the age of 21. Additionally, if the sons are over 18, they must enter the UAE at least once every six months if studying abroad otherwise their UAE visa will be canceled.
• Your daughters. You can sponsor your daughters only if they are unmarried.
• Your parents. You can also sponsor your parents, provided you meet the following conditions:
  • You sponsor both parents unless one of them has passed away
  • You pay a deposit as a guarantee for each parent
  • You get your parents a medical insurance policy
  • You have a monthly salary of AED 20,000 or a AED 19,000 plus a two-bedroom accommodation
• Your stepchildren. You may also sponsor your stepchildren if you get a written No Objection Certificate from the biological parent. The visa for stepchildren is valid for one year and renewable.

Can a Woman Sponsor Her Family Members for a UAE Family Visa?

Yes, she can but the criteria for a woman to sponsor her family to the UAE are higher than for a man:

• The family members she can sponsor are her husband and her children.
• She has to earn a monthly salary not lower than AED 10,000 or alternatively AED 8,000 plus accommodation
• She must work as an engineer, teacher, or a profession related to the medical sector (doctor, nurse etc)
  • In certain cases (and only with approval from the DRND), if the woman has a sufficient monthly salary, she could qualify for sponsorship even if she isn’t employed in one of the aforementioned categories
• If she has a husband who can sponsor the children instead, she is not allowed to do it herself. It must be the husband.
