Parents Visa in Dubai
Acquiring a Parents Visa in Dubai, UAE Simplified with Docman
Supporting your elderly parents from afar can be challenging, especially when they reside in a different country while you’re settled in the UAE. A practical solution is to bring them to the Emirates to live with you. However, obtaining a parents visa UAE is essential for a seamless transition.
To apply for a parents visa in Dubai or UAE, you must hold a valid UAE resident visa. Additionally, you need to meet specific financial criteria, including a minimum salary of 20,000 Dirhams and accommodation with at least two bedrooms. This criteria enables you to secure a one-year renewable resident visa for your parents or parents-in-law.
Under the new regulations, sponsoring both parents together is mandatory. You must also demonstrate that you are their sole provider and that there’s no one else to care for them in your home country.
If your parents are divorced or if one of them is deceased, presenting documentary proof is necessary when visiting the Department of Naturalisation and Residency Dubai (DNRD) to obtain the entry permit visa. This serves as the initial step before applying for a residency permit.
