Secure And Reliable Processing for Your Dubai Sponsorship Visa

The phrase "visa sponsor" generally refers to someone who pays all the costs for those traveling abroad but does not have an income certificate. Many nations need information on UAE visa applicants or students who are not employed or covering their travel costs.

So, those paying the costs are referred to as sponsors. If you're considering traveling abroad but aren't a pensioner, farmer, or employee on a payroll, you'll need a sponsor.

Employers and employees with valid residence visa can be the ones to sponsor family members for residence visas. In specific circumstances approved by the ICP, a mother may sponsor her kids.

After the family members' entry permit, the resident sponsor has 60 days to apply for their residence visa. Regardless of the sponsor's visa validity, a resident can sponsor his parents, and the residence visa will be issued every year.

Sponsoring Wife And Kids

Suppose an expatriate resident meets the sponsorship criteria listed above. In that case, he may sponsor wife and children. The expatriate resident must provide an attested marriage certificate in Arabic or one that has been properly translated into Arabic by a qualified translator to sponsor the wife.

Sponsoring Daughters

With no age limits, an expatriate resident can only sponsor his daughter(s) if she(they) is (are) unmarried.

Sponsoring Sons

Up until the age of 25, either a man or woman resident may sponsor his/her son(s). There are no age restrictions on sponsorship for Sons of Determination (kids with special needs).

Sponsoring Newborns

To avoid fines for infants born in the UAE, a residency visa must be requested within 120 days of the child's birth.

Sponsor Stepchildren

Subject to the GDRFA's requirements, which include a deposit for each child and a written no-objection certificate from the biological parent, a foreign resident may sponsor his stepchildren. Their visas for permanent residency are renewable annually and valid for up to two years.

Sponsoring Your Parents

By submitting a deposit as a guarantee for each parent, as required by the relevant immigration authority, an expatriate employee can sponsor his parents for a year's stay. An expatriate worker is not permitted to sponsor just one of his parents. He must jointly sponsor both parents. Also, he must prove that he is their sole support and that they have no one to look after them at home. Official documents supporting the need to sponsor only one parent are required if one of the parents has passed away or if the parents are divorced. The employed expatriate resident must obtain a medical insurance policy for parents with the minimum coverage required and earn the necessary salary required in order to sponsor parents.

Residence Visa For A Parent, Kid, and Spouse Who Are UAE Nationals

A foreign passport having a spouse, parent, or child of a UAE citizen may apply for a 5-year residency visa without first needing to find a job there. Here, the sponsor must be a national of the United Arab Emirates.

Without needing to find a job in the UAE, a foreign widow or divorcee who is the mother of a UAE national can get a residence visa. In this situation, the oldest child will act as the sponsor.

Requirements For Both The sponsor And The Sponsored

Foreign residents can sponsor their families to live in the UAE if they have a valid residency permit or visa.

• The sponsor must earn a monthly salary requirement of 4,000 or 3,000 AED per month plus housing.
• Male and female family members who are to be sponsored and are at least 18 years old must undergo a medical fitness test at a government-approved health center and pass them at UAE health facilities that have been approved.

There are several residency visas that fall under the sponsorship visa. Here are the types of sponsorship visas:

UAE Resident Visa through Employment (UAE Employment Visa):

UAE Investor Visa or Partner Visa:

Foreign nationals who own a firm, hold stock in an existing organization, or are ex-pats who want to start their own business in the UAE are eligible for a company investor visa. The firm investor visa is extendable for a further three years. In addition, the bearer of this visa can sponsor his or her family members' visas and live and work legally in the UAE.

UAE Resident Visa through Family Sponsorship:

A foreign individual who has successfully obtained a UAE resident visa may sponsor their family members for the same visa.
