Questions about this visa
Can I apply while my family is still outside the UAE?
Yes. We get the entry permit first; your family flies in on it, then we complete the medical, Emirates ID and residence. Applying from outside also skips the change-of-status fee.
How long does a family visa take?
Once your documents are complete and attested, most family visas are done within one to two weeks, including medical and Emirates ID. Attestation of certificates from abroad can take longer, so start that first.
Does my marriage or birth certificate need attestation?
Yes, if it was issued outside the UAE. It needs the stamps of your home country and the UAE embassy there, then the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We can arrange all of it.
Is there a sticker in the passport?
No. UAE residence is digital and linked to the Emirates ID. You receive the e-visa and the Emirates ID card — nothing is stamped in the passport.
What if the application is rejected?
That is why we check eligibility before filing. The decision is always the authorities', and some government fees are not refundable — we tell you the risk upfront if your case is unusual.
