Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Apply for Entry Permit

If your family is outside the UAE, apply for an entry permit to allow them to enter Dubai legally. This permit is valid until the residence visa is processed.

Step 2: Conduct Medical Tests

Adults (18 and above) must undergo a medical fitness test at government-approved health centers in Dubai upon arrival.

Step 3: Emirates ID Registration

Visit an accredited typing center, like Unified Typing Center, to apply for the Emirates ID, a mandatory requirement for all UAE residents.

Step 4: Arrange Health Insurance

Secure valid health insurance coverage for your family, as it is a prerequisite for processing the residence visa. We offer basic insurance starting at 515 AED for individuals up to age 17.

Step 5: Visa Stamping

Submit your family’s passports and all required documents to the Dubai General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) for visa stamping. This finalizes the residency status. Documents can be submitted via WhatsApp, Email, or at our office.

Renewal and Important Considerations

Key Information

Visa Renewal: Family residence visas must be renewed every 1 to 3 years, depending on the sponsor’s employment contract.
Travel Restrictions: Be aware of travel restrictions or re-entry requirements if your family travels outside the UAE.
Document Submission: Send all required documents via WhatsApp or Email for processing, or visit our office in Dubai for direct assistance.
