What Is a UAE Dependent Residence Visa?
The UAE Dependent Residence Visa allows residents to bring their immediate family members (spouse, children, in some cases parent or helper) to reside lawfully in the UAE. There are great benefits in that the visa allows access to healthcare and education and gives the right to residence in the UAE for the same duration as the sponsor's residency. Dependent Residence Visas are issued for 1, 2 or 3 years, depending on the sponsor's visa type and employment.
At dubaisetupnow, we take the pain out of this process with full documentation support, eligibility support, application submission and Emirates ID issuance for your family’s secure, seamless and stress-free relocation to the UAE

Our team at dubaisetupnow, monitors, and manages both the initial submission and renewal timelines for our clients, helping to ensure that there is no lapse in your family’s residency.

The spouse being able to work will provide you more options for a dual income household!
