Overview
It is a residence visa that allows a UAE resident to sponsor close family members, such as a spouse, children or parents, to live in the country. The process involves eligibility checks, attested documents, medical tests and several government approvals.
Our visa desk handles the paperwork for you. We check your eligibility, prepare the application, coordinate each stage and keep you updated until the visa is complete. You get one point of contact from enquiry to Emirates ID.

Who can sponsor a family member in the UAE?
Eligibility depends on factors such as your residence status, your job or income and your accommodation, and the requirements can change. We review your case first and tell you honestly whether you qualify and what the options are.
What documents are needed for a family visa?
Typically, the sponsor’s passport, Emirates ID and visa, the family member’s passport and photos, attested marriage or birth certificates, and proof of accommodation and income. We give you a clear checklist before starting.
How long does a family visa take?
Timelines depend on the visa type, the documents and the authorities involved. We give you an expected timeline upfront, though final timing and approval are up to the authorities.
Can a visit visa be changed to a family visa?
In some cases, yes. It depends on the person’s situation and the current rules. We confirm what applies to your case before you pay or begin.
