What is a Family Residence Visa?

A family residence visa lets UAE residents bring their spouse, children, and in some cases parents to live with them legally in the country. It's available to employment, investor, Golden Visa, and Green Visa holders, provided they meet the minimum income and housing requirements set by their emirate. Sponsoring family is often the real reason people push through their own visa process in the first place, and getting the sequencing right — sorting your own status before starting family files — makes the whole thing far smoother. Ampsy Consultancy manages both.

What's Involved in Sponsoring Your Family

Eligibility Check: We confirm your visa category and income meet the sponsorship threshold before you start gathering documents.

Document Preparation: Attested marriage and birth certificates, salary certificates or bank statements, and an Ejari-registered tenancy contract are compiled and checked.

Entry Permit & Status Change: We secure entry permits for family joining from abroad, or manage in-country status changes for those already in the UAE.

Medical Fitness & Emirates ID: Medical testing and biometric appointments are coordinated for each family member, including dependants exempt from certain steps by age.

Renewal Management: We track each family member's renewal date so nobody's residency lapses when your own visa renews or your circumstances change.

Bring Your Family to the UAE Without the Guesswork

Family sponsorship applications get rejected far more often over an income threshold miscalculation or a missing attestation than for any complicated reason. Ampsy Consultancy confirms your eligibility upfront and prepares every document to the standard your emirate expects, so your family's applications move smoothly the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Requirements vary by emirate, but a minimum monthly income of around AED 4,000, or a lower salary combined with a documented housing allowance, is a common baseline. We confirm the exact threshold that applies to your visa category and emirate before you apply.

Yes, but the income requirement is significantly higher than for a spouse and children, often around AED 20,000 per month, and additional conditions may apply. We assess whether you meet the threshold before starting the application.

Yes. Your own residence visa needs to be fully active before you can sponsor family members, so we make sure your status is complete and confirmed before starting any family applications, rather than trying to run both processes at once.

Children under a certain age are typically exempt from biometric capture but still need an Emirates ID card issued. We handle the specific process and paperwork required for each family member based on their age.
