Family Sponsorship Visa UAE
A UAE resident who meets sponsorship requirements may apply for eligible family members’ residence. The specialist partner reviews sponsorship eligibility, income, accommodation and relationship evidence, and supports preparation and submission. Hello Emirates coordinates communication.
Planning a family move to Dubai
Residence for a spouse and children requires sponsorship eligibility, income and accommodation evidence and, where required, legalised marriage or birth certificates. The specialist provider checks requirements and preparation; we coordinate communication with that provider.
