To sponsor your family to join you in the UAE, you must first hold a valid residence visa, which can be a work visa provided by your employer or a self-sponsored visa like a Green, Investor, or Golden Visa. Once you have secured your own visa, specific conditions need to be met to sponsor your family, including financial stability with a minimum monthly salary of Dh4,000, or Dh3,000 with provided housing for your family.
Additionally, adult family members above 18 must undergo a medical fitness test, and newborns must have their residence visa applied for within 120 days of birth. Sponsoring parents or children has specific criteria, and required documents include passports, photos, medical certificates, and marriage certificates. Remember, if your residence visa is canceled, your family’s visas will also be canceled, with a six-month grace period for renewal or departure. Fulfilling these requirements ensures a smooth process for your family to join you in the UAE.
