Visit Visa, Extension & Inside-Country Status Change

Whether you are bringing a relative to visit, keeping a job-seeking family member in the country legally, or hiring someone who entered on a visit visa, the paperwork timing is everything — extensions must be filed before expiry, and status changes must align with the new visa's approvals.

We process tourist and visit visas for most nationalities, handle extensions, calculate overstay exposure when someone is already past the deadline, and execute the status change so the visit visa converts smoothly into an employment or family residence file we then complete end to end.

Documents required

• Visitor passport copy (6+ months)
• Photo
• Sponsor/host documents (if sponsored visit)
• Current visa copy (for extension/status change)
• Onward requirements for the new visa (for status change)

How it works

1. Visa or extension typed — New visit visa or extension filed before the deadline.
2. Approval — ICP approval received; visa delivered digitally.
3. Status change (optional) — When converting to residence — filed alongside the new visa approvals.
4. Handover to residence chain — Medical, Emirates ID and stamping continue under the new file.
