A UAE Family Visa allows residents to sponsor their spouse, children, and parents to live with them in the UAE. While most of the paperwork can be prepared from outside, the sponsored family member is required to enter the UAE to complete the visa stamping and Emirates ID process.
Navigating the United Arab Emirates family visa application process requires careful planning and adherence to specific procedures. This guide outlines the typical steps involved to ensure a smooth application experience:
Gather evidence to prove your bona fide relationship (marriage, birth certificates, or dependency documents depending on the type of family visa).
Collect essential documents such as valid passports, photographs, police clearance, medical certificates, and proof of ties to your sponsor/family member.
The family member (sponsor) living in the destination country submits a sponsorship or invitation form with required undertakings and support statements.
File your family visa application online or through the embassy/consulate, providing all supporting documents and paying the required application fee.
Attend a visa interview or biometrics appointment if requested, and respond to any additional information requests by immigration authorities.
Wait for the final decision. Upon approval, receive your family visa to travel and reunite with your loved ones in the destination country.
