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.
