New Visa Rules for Sponsoring Family Members in UAE

Good news has been released for ex-pats in the UAE regarding visa regulations and clarifications by Ali Mohammad Al Shamsi, Chairman of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security of the UAE. The minimum salary required to sponsor family members has been halved.

Previously, the minimum salary required to sponsor parents was AED 20,000. Now, if ex-pats have a monthly salary of AED 10,000, they can sponsor up to five individuals. The regulation, which came into effect on October 3, 2022, has simplified the process of obtaining residence permits and sponsoring kin.

Sponsoring in the UAE

Expats must meet certain requirements to bring their relatives to the UAE. If expats want to bring their relatives to the UAE, their degree of relationship with the foreigner should be as follows:

• The foreigner’s father
• The foreigner’s mother
• Underage siblings (provided they can support them financially)
• The wife’s father and mother

In addition, the foreigner must have adequate monthly income and housing facilities to bring those relatives to the UAE.

• If their monthly income is AED 10,000, they can bring up to five individuals.
• If their monthly income is AED 15,000, they can bring up to six individuals.
• If ex-pats want to bring more than six individuals, the Chairman of the authority shall determine the applicant’s eligibility.
