Service Overview
UAE residents can sponsor their immediate family members — spouse, children, and in some cases parents — to live legally in the UAE on a dependent visa. VIP ELITE manages the complete sponsorship application with VIP medical fitness support.
Family sponsorship in the UAE is a straightforward but document-intensive process requiring GDRFA coordination, medical fitness appointments, Emirates ID registration, and health insurance compliance. Delays typically occur due to incomplete documentation or medical scheduling backlogs.
Our team pre-qualifies all dependents, prepares complete sponsor documentation, schedules VIP medical appointments within 1–3 days (versus standard 1–2 week wait), and fast-tracks Emirates ID issuance. We handle spouse visas, child visas regardless of age, and parent sponsorship for qualifying residents.

FAQ
Common questions answered.
What salary is required to sponsor family in Dubai?
A minimum monthly salary of AED 4,000 (or AED 3,000 + accommodation) is required for spouse sponsorship. Parent sponsorship requires a higher threshold. Our advisors confirm eligibility upfront.
Do my children's birth certificates need to be attested?
Yes. Birth certificates from outside the UAE must be attested by the issuing country's government and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Our team manages the attestation process.
How long is a family visa valid?
Dependent visas are typically issued for 1–3 years, linked to the sponsor's own residency validity. Renewal is straightforward.
