The availability of a family visa in Dubai helps the expatriates working and living in the UAE to bring in their dependent family members including the spouse, the children, and, at times, the parents. Dubai has simple procedures with regards to the family visa making it easier for families to be reunited if the right criteria are met.
The one who wants to sponsor a family member must be a UAE resident holding a residency visa and should be earning a specified minimum salary. Today, an applicant needs to earn not less than AED 4,000 or AED 3,000 with accommodation to sponsor dependents.
