Child Residence Visa (Dependent Visa)

Best for parents sponsoring their children to live with them in Dubai under their UAE residence visa. — Valid usually for 1–3 years and renewable.

Newborn / Infant Visa

For babies born in or outside the UAE — each child needs their own visa; newborns often are exempt from medical tests.

Study Dependent Visa

For sons up to age 25 who are enrolled in full-time education; daughters can be sponsored as long as they are unmarried.

Special Needs / Extended Age Cases

Children with disabilities may be sponsored beyond standard age limits with appropriate documentation.

Step‑by‑Step Child Visa Process

Step 1: Check Eligibility & Sponsorship Conditions

The sponsor must hold a valid UAE residence visa, meet the minimum salary requirement (typically AED 4,000/month or AED 3,000 + accommodation), and have suitable accommodation proof (Ejari/tenancy) before applying.

Step 2: Prepare Documents

Common requirements include the child’s birth certificate (attested), passport copy, sponsor’s passport & residence visa, Emirates ID, and tenancy contract.

Step 3: Apply for Entry Permit or Status Change

If the child is outside the UAE, apply for an entry permit; if inside on a visit visa, submit a status change application via the immigration system.

Step 4: Emirates ID & Medical Procedures

Apply for the child’s Emirates ID; most children under 18 don’t need a medical fitness test — those 18+ do.

Step 5: Visa Stamping & Issuance

Once approved and after completing all formalities, the child’s residence visa is stamped in the passport, legalising their stay.

Sponsorship, step by step

What sponsoring your child involves — Child Visa in Dubai

Sponsor-side qualification process icon

Sponsor-side qualification

We read your residence visa, declared salary, and housing against the bar for sponsoring a minor before the file is opened, so a thin financial position is fixed rather than discovered at rejection.

Age-band classification process icon

Age-band classification

We establish whether your child falls under the standard minor route or, if over eighteen, the full-time-student exception, because the supporting evidence differs sharply between the two.

Birth-certificate attestation process icon

Birth-certificate attestation

The certificate proving you are the parent is attested to UAE specification, since this single document is what the whole sponsorship decision rests on.

Medical assessment, where age requires it process icon

Medical assessment, where age requires it

We determine whether your child's age triggers a fitness test and, if so, book it into the sequence so it never becomes the step everything else waits on.

Child Emirates ID and stamping process icon

Child Emirates ID and stamping

Biometric enrolment and the residence stamp are carried through together so your child holds both their identity card and a valid visa at the same handover.

Renewal alignment process icon

Renewal alignment

We map your child's renewal to your own visa cycle so the two stay in step and a lapse on your side never silently invalidates theirs.

Proof to residence

The path from parental proof to legal residence

A child's residence flows from the parent's, so the work is proving the relationship cleanly and slotting the dependent steps in before the parent's status can hold them up.

01
Takween Advisory crown icon

Parent-status verification

We confirm your residency is current and your earnings clear the threshold a parent must meet to take on a dependent child.

02
Takween Advisory crown icon

Relationship evidencing

The attested birth certificate and, where both names matter, each parent's particulars are assembled the way the immigration desk expects to read them.

03
Takween Advisory crown icon

Permit or in-country switch for the child

Depending on whether the child is abroad or already in the country, we either secure the entry permit or run the in-country status adjustment.

04
Takween Advisory crown icon

Age-conditional medical

If the fitness test applies to your child's age group, it is completed inside its own short window rather than left to the end.

05
Takween Advisory crown icon

Closing the child's file

Emirates ID capture and the residence stamp close the file, with both documents checked against the passport before handover.

Documents we gather

The papers a child's file turns on

Parent identity and residency set

Parent identity and residency set

Your passport, residence visa, and Emirates ID establish that you are an eligible sponsor with current standing.

Child passport and photographs

Child passport and photographs

The child's passport copy and recent images are gathered to the format the application form requires.

Parentage birth certificate

Parentage birth certificate

The legalised certificate naming you as parent is the central proof the sponsorship cannot proceed without.

Earnings confirmation

Earnings confirmation

A salary certificate or employment letter shows you clear the income bar set for a parent supporting a dependent.

Housing evidence

Housing evidence

A tenancy contract demonstrates the child has a suitable home with you in the emirate.

Student status proof, if applicable

Student status proof, if applicable

For a child past eighteen, an enrolment letter confirming full-time study is added to keep the over-age sponsorship valid.

Timing, cost, and snags

What sets the timing, the budget, and the snags

What sets the timing, the budget, and the snags

How the schedule usually runs

Once the attested birth certificate is in hand the steps move predictably; the relationship proof, not the immigration form, is what tends to set the pace.

  • Entry permit or status change
  • Age-conditional medical, if required
  • Emirates ID and residence stamp

What moves the figure

Cost tracks your own visa category, the validity you choose, and the medical and Emirates ID charges; the child's visa typically renews in step with your two-to-three-year residency.

  • Your sponsor visa type
  • Validity length selected
  • Medical and Emirates ID fees

What tends to hold a file up

Delays cluster around an unattested or name-mismatched birth certificate, a lapsed sponsor visa, or a missing student letter for an over-eighteen child.

  • Birth certificate not properly attested
  • Sponsor residency about to expire
  • Absent student proof for an adult child

Whatever your case

Where our child-sponsorship support reaches

Eligibility reading per parent type

We interpret the salary and housing conditions against whether you hold a mainland, free-zone, or long-term visa so you know up front whether the file will clear.

Over-eighteen exception handling

Where a child has aged past the standard limit, we build the full-time-study case that keeps them sponsorable rather than treating the cut-off as final.

Multi-child coordination

When several children are sponsored at once, we run their files in parallel so siblings reach residence together rather than in scattered batches.

Continuity into school enrolment

Because the visa underpins school admission and insurance, we make sure the residence and Emirates ID land in the order those next steps need them.

What Is a Child Visa in Dubai?

A child visa in Dubai, also known as a Dubai child residency visa, is issued to the dependent children of a UAE resident, allowing them to legally reside in the UAE. This child visa in Dubai is typically valid for 2–3 years and can be renewed as long as the parent or guardian maintains their residency status.

Children under 18 are usually eligible for a child visa, and under certain conditions, children over 18 may also be sponsored if they are full-time students.

To sponsor your child and apply for a child visa in Dubai, the following requirements must be met:

  • Parent or guardian must be a UAE resident with a valid residence visa
  • Minimum salary requirement for the sponsoring parent
  • Suitable accommodation proof in Dubai
  • Birth certificate attested by UAE authorities

Additional Notes:

  • Children may need medical fitness tests depending on age
  • Both parents' details are often required for verification

It's important to note that the child visa cost in Dubai may vary depending on your specific situation and visa type.

Child Visa Cost in Dubai

  • Visa duration (1–3 years)
  • Medical fitness test & Emirates ID fees
