Step‑by‑Step Dependent Visa Process

Step 1: Check Eligibility & Requirements

Your UAE residence visa must be valid, and you must meet the minimum salary requirement (e.g., AED 4,000 per month or AED 3,000 + accommodation) and have proof of relationship documents (attested marriage or birth certificates).

Step 2: Prepare & Submit Documents

Include sponsor’s passport, Emirates ID, tenancy (Ejari), salary certificate/employment contract, and dependent’s passport/birth/marriage certificates.

Step 3: Entry Permit or Status Change

Apply for an entry permit (if outside the UAE) or initiate an in‑country status change for dependents already in the UAE.

Step 4: Medical Fitness & Emirates ID

Dependents aged 18+ must complete the medical fitness test and Emirates ID processing before visa issuance.

Step 5: Visa Stamping & Residency Issuance

After approvals and tests, the dependent residency visa is stamped in the passport — legalising their stay.
