Foreign nationals make up the majority of the United Arab Emirates' population, particularly its labor force. The procedure of sponsoring a family in the United Arab Emirates has been simplified by the most recent visa regulations, providing that the sponsors fit within a certain income bracket. You will be able to better grasp the rules and procedures for gaining residence for your dependents with the assistance of our helpful information on sponsoring family members in the United Arab Emirates. Take a look at this, shall we?
To sponsor your spouse or children in Dubai or the United Arab Emirates, you must earn a minimum salary of AED 4,000 or AED 3,000, in addition to providing housing for male sponsors. At this point, there are no longer any limitations placed on the applicant's profession, provided that the salary threshold is satisfied.
Wives can also sponsor their husbands in the UAE
To qualify as a sponsor in Abu Dhabi, the individual must be a teacher, an engineer, or someone who works in the medical field, and they must earn a minimum of AED 10,000 or AED 8,000 in addition to housing. (The authority has requested that she give additional documentation, and she is compelled to do so.)
When it comes to sponsoring a family in Dubai, all that is required is that the sponsoring wife has a salary that is greater than 10,000 AED. There are no vocational restrictions. On the other hand, she will be required to obtain a special permit from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs Dubai (GDRFA) or the Department of Naturalization and Residency Dubai (DNRD), as stated on the website of the United Arab Emirates government. To apply for a work permit in Dubai or the United Arab Emirates, husbands can also be sponsored by their spouses.
Minimum salary required
When it comes to sponsoring five members of one's family in the United Arab Emirates, including one's own parents or the parents of one's spouse, the minimum salary need is AED 10,000. In the case of six members of the same family, the minimum amount required is 15,000 AED. A dispensation is necessary in order to sponsor more than six members of the organization. The sponsor is also required to demonstrate that they have family links at residency centers and that they stay in a house or flat with at least two bedrooms. Additionally, a refundable deposit of AED 5,000 is required in addition to the amount of AED 1,750 for this visa.
Students can sponsor their families
Only under exceptional circumstances that have been accepted and validated by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, and Ports Security (ICP) is it possible for a mother to sponsor her children.
According to the resolution that was passed by the Cabinet of the United Arab Emirates in January 2021, international students who are attending universities in the UAE are also permitted to sponsor their families. Those who wish to sponsor their family members in the United Arab Emirates as students are required to have an appropriate housing alternative available to them.
