Family Visa Application Process
Step 1: Obtain Entry Permit
The first step is to obtain an entry permit for your dependents. Submit the required documents to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) or the relevant free zone authority. Once approved, your dependents will receive an entry permit allowing them to enter the UAE.
Step 2: Change Status
If your dependents are already in the UAE on a visit visa, you need to change their visa status. This can be done by submitting the entry permit and other required documents to the GDRFA.
Step 3: Medical Fitness Test
Dependents over the age of 18 must undergo a medical fitness test at an authorized medical center in the UAE. This includes a physical examination, blood test, and chest X-ray.
Step 4: Emirates ID Application
Apply for an Emirates ID for your dependents through the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA). Submit the required documents and pay the applicable fees.
Step 5: Visa Stamping
Submit the passport, entry permit, medical fitness certificate, and Emirates ID application receipt to the GDRFA for visa stamping. Once approved, the residence visa will be stamped on the dependents' passports.
