Renewal Of Visa For Child In Dubai

Child Visa renewal is something that parents need to be aware of. We have seen many parents losing their visa as a result of not renewing the visa for their child.

The visa renewal process takes time, effort and money of parents. Parents need to renew the visas and passports of their children who have reached 18 years by 24 November and apply for a new ID card for the same purpose. The new United Arab Emirates ID card is the only legally acceptable identity proof for Job seekers; students which are going to enter higher education institutes, drivers who need car driving license, medical practitioners, bank lending people who want to open a bank account in UAE.

If you are applying for your child’s visa renewal and he/she has a visa status of “Family Visit” this process should be relatively straight forward. This is as long as they met the requirements of their previous visit – that is he stayed in the UAE for a minimum of 3 months. The changes in policies can cause confusion when dealing with residency visas but again we will go into that later.
