To begin, the sponsor must hold a valid UAE residence visa and Emirates ID with at least six months of validity remaining.
A minimum monthly salary of AED 4,000 is required, or AED 3,000 plus accommodation. Additionally, a valid tenancy contract or proof of property ownership must be provided.
Key documents needed include a copy of the sponsor’s passport and residence visa, an Emirates ID copy, a salary certificate, a tenancy contract, and a completed visa application form.
For sponsoring a wife specifically, an attested marriage certificate with Arabic translation, a medical fitness certificate, and passport-size photos are also necessary.
The application process involves submitting the visa application through platforms like the ICP UAE or GDRFA, scheduling a medical test, applying for an Emirates ID, and completing the visa stamping process.
The costs associated with the application can vary but typically include an entry permit fee and medical fitness test charges.
For the most accurate and updated information, sponsors are advised to contact the relevant immigration authorities directly.
