A dependent visa allows eligible family members to live in the UAE under the sponsorship of a resident. It is linked to the sponsor’s visa and must be renewed or cancelled in line with that status.

Common categories include a spouse, children, and in some cases parents. Each category has specific criteria set by GDRFA or ICP.

Requirements vary by category, but you can expect identity documents for sponsor and dependent, relationship proof, accommodation proof, and evidence that you meet current sponsorship criteria.

 Valid passports, recent photos, sponsor’s Emirates ID and residence visa, attested marriage or birth certificates, tenancy contract or accommodation proof, and where applicable medical fitness and Emirates ID steps.

 Health insurance is commonly required for residents in Dubai. We guide clients on when to present proof of coverage during the application. For policy selection details, consult a licensed insurer.

Start with an eligibility review, submit your documents for verification, then we prepare and file the application, coordinate appointments, and follow up until issuance.

Sponsoring parents involves additional criteria and supporting documents. We assess eligibility, advise on the correct route, and prepare a compliant file according to current regulations.

 When a dependent leaves the UAE or changes status, the visa must be cancelled through the issuing authority. Cancellation of dependent visa in Dubai includes application typing, submission, and follow up until the system reflects the change.

 You can still initiate cancellation through the appropriate channel with the required documents. We prepare and submit the cancellation request, then confirm completion with the authority.

Policy updates are published by GDRFA Dubai and the federal ICP. We check the latest guidance before preparing each file.

We apply for an entry permit, then complete the remaining steps after arrival, including status change, medical fitness, and Emirates ID where applicable.
