Family & Dependent Visa (Spouse, Children, Parents)

Sponsor your wife, husband, children or parents — we handle the complete file.

Quick answer: To sponsor family in the UAE you generally need a minimum salary of AED 4,000 (or AED 3,000 plus accommodation), a valid residence visa, an attested marriage certificate for a spouse and attested birth certificates for children, plus a tenancy contract. Al Karam checks eligibility first, then processes the entry permit, status change, medical (where required), Emirates ID and stamping.

Family visas are the most personal files we handle, and the most common place people lose money on rejections — usually from certificate attestation issues, tenancy mismatches, or salary documentation. We verify everything before filing.

We process spouse visas, children (including newborn registration), and parent sponsorship (which carries higher salary and deposit requirements). We also handle the attestation chain for marriage and birth certificates through MOFA and embassies if your documents are not yet attested, plus mandatory health insurance for every dependent.

Frequently asked questions

What salary do I need to sponsor my family in the UAE?

Generally AED 4,000 per month, or AED 3,000 plus employer-provided accommodation. Parent sponsorship requires a higher threshold and a security deposit. We confirm your exact case free of charge.

Can I sponsor my family on a partner or investor visa?

Yes — investors and partners can sponsor dependents, with income demonstrated through the company. We prepare the supporting file.

Do my documents need attestation?

Marriage and birth certificates issued abroad must be attested by your home country, the UAE embassy there, and MOFA in the UAE. We run the full attestation chain if needed.

How long does a family visa take?

Typically 5–10 working days once documents are attested and complete, including medical and Emirates ID stages.

Can I sponsor my parents?

Yes, under stricter conditions — higher salary requirement, both parents together in most cases, deposit, and comprehensive insurance. We assess eligibility honestly before you spend anything.
