Are you applying for a new child visa or renewing one?
A child visa is usually valid 2-3 years and can be renewed while the parent keeps their residency.
Choose Your Child Visa Option
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Your passport, residence visa, and Emirates ID establish that you are an eligible sponsor with current standing.
Child passport and photographs
The child's passport copy and recent images are gathered to the format the application form requires.
Parentage birth certificate
The legalised certificate naming you as parent is the central proof the sponsorship cannot proceed without.
Earnings confirmation
A salary certificate or employment letter shows you clear the income bar set for a parent supporting a dependent.
Housing evidence
A tenancy contract demonstrates the child has a suitable home with you in the emirate.
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
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.
