Family Visa in Dubai and UAE Online Processing

What about Amer Centers?

Amer Centers are the official typing centers for the GDRFA in Dubai. When applying for a family visa in Dubai, visiting them in person traditionally involves long commutes, traffic, and waiting times.

Traditional Way

Physical Amer Centers

  • Driving through Dubai traffic and finding parking.
  • Taking time off work to wait in physical queues.
  • Bringing piles of physical documents.
Our Online Way

FamilyVisa.ae

  • 100% Online: Zero physical visits required.
  • Save Time: Upload documents via WhatsApp, and make payments online.
  • Secure & Direct: Expert processing through GDRFA portals.

Your Family Visa Journey

Select your application type below to view the streamlined online process and required documents.

Procedure

Swipe
1

File Opening

If this is your first time sponsoring a dependent, we register your sponsor file with the GDRFA system.

2

Entry Permit

We apply for an Entry Permit (E-Visa) allowing your family to enter the UAE or begin status change.

3

Arrival / Status Change

Either the person will arrive into the country, or if inside the country, process the status change.

4

Medical Fitness

Includes typing the medical application, the center screening, and receiving the fitness report for dependents over 18.

5

EID Application

Once medical results pass, we process the Emirates ID application directly to the ICP.

6

EID Biometrics

New applicants will attend an appointment to register fingerprints at an ICP center.

7

Visa Stamping

Residence visas are now issued digitally (no physical sticker) and linked to the Emirates ID.

EID Delivery

The final step. The physical Emirates ID card is printed and delivered directly to your address.

Documents Required

Ensure all documents are clear color copies. Certificates must be legally translated to Arabic and MOFA attested.

Sponsor Copies

  • Passport Copy
  • Emirates ID Copy
  • Salary Cert. / Labour Contract

Dependent Copies

  • Passport Copy
  • Recent Photograph
  • Attested Marriage Cert. (Spouse)
  • Attested Birth Cert. (Child)

Eligibility & Salary Rules

To successfully apply for a family visa in Dubai or across the UAE, the sponsor must earn a minimum monthly salary of AED 4,000 (or AED 3,000 + accommodation) for spouse/children. Sponsoring parents requires a minimum salary of AED 20,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about processing your UAE family visa entirely online.

Do I really not need to visit an Amer Center?

Yes! Our entire service is 100% online. You simply send us your required documents via WhatsApp, we process everything through the official GDRFA and ICP portals, and you receive your digital visa directly on your phone or email. No queues, no driving, no waiting.

How long does it take to get a family visa in UAE?

Renewals are exceptionally fast and can often be completed within 2-3 working days (contingent on medical results). A new family visa in UAE typically takes 5-7 working days depending on GDRFA approval times and how quickly the dependent completes their medical fitness test.

Do dependents still need a passport stamp?

No, the UAE has officially phased out physical visa stickers on passports. The residency visa is now completely digital and is directly linked to the dependent's Emirates ID.
