Dubai dependent visa sponsorship
A dependent visa in Dubai allows UAE residents to sponsor spouse, children, and in some cases parents for residence visas linked to the primary sponsor immigration file — processed through GDRFA Dubai.
Sponsors must meet minimum salary thresholds (typically AED 4,000–10,000+ depending on relationship and accommodation), hold valid Ejari-registered tenancy, and maintain active residence visa and employment or investor status.
KPM Global Services coordinates family visa applications, attestation of marriage and birth certificates, medical tests for dependants, and Emirates ID registration for the whole family.
Family visa sponsors
- Employees sponsoring spouse and children after relocation
- Investor visa holders bringing family to Dubai
- Golden Visa holders sponsoring family members
- Residents sponsoring newborn children born in UAE
- Expats sponsoring parents for UAE residence
- Families reuniting after primary sponsor obtains residence
