Requirements differ by visa type, authority, and your individual circumstances, but most applications need a common set. Get in touch and we will confirm exactly what applies to you before you start gathering paperwork.
Sponsoring your family
Most residency routes allow you to sponsor your spouse, children, and, in certain cases, parents and domestic staff. Eligibility generally depends on your visa type, your income, and suitable accommodation. Each dependent is assessed on their own merits, so planning applications together, rather than sequentially, is usually faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on how you earn. If you own or part-own a UAE company, the investor or partner route applies. If you have a job offer, your employer sponsors a work visa. If you're a skilled professional or freelancer wanting independence from an employer, the Green Visa is usually the strongest option. A short conversation will settle it.
No. Employment and Green Visa routes don't require one. But if you're planning to run a business here, forming a company and obtaining an investor visa often makes more sense than working around it.
Yes, in most cases. Moving from an employment visa to an investor visa when you start your own company is common. The process involves cancelling the existing visa and applying afresh, which needs careful sequencing to avoid a gap in your residency status.
It varies by route and authority. The medical test and Emirates ID biometrics are usually completed quickly once you're in the country, with stamping following. Delays almost always trace back to incomplete documentation rather than processing times.
Generally yes, subject to your visa type, income, and accommodation. Rules differ for sons and daughters, and age limits apply to dependent children. We'll confirm what applies in your case.
Preparation can begin remotely, but the medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics require you to be here in person. A short visit is usually sufficient.
Residency can lapse if you're absent beyond a continuous period. The threshold differs by visa type; Green and Golden Visa holders generally have more flexibility than standard residents. If you travel frequently, factor this into your choice of route.
Yes. Employment visas are tied to your employer, and investor visas depend on an active trade license. If either changes, the visa needs to be cancelled and reissued under a new sponsor or structure.
