The Ministry of Interior has denied rumours that it has stopped issuing visas to the immediate relatives of expatriate residents. Major General Nasser Al Awadi Al Menhali, Director-General of the Naturalisation and Residency Department, told that visas are still being issued to immediate family members, and especially to parents.
He added that a husband has the right to sponsor his wife, parents and in-laws. Wives in turn have the right to sponsor their husbands, parents and in-laws. Parents have the right to sponsor their children if they are under the age of 21. The ministry takes into consideration humanitarian and social imperatives and sometimes issues visas to children above the age of 21 who want to visit their families or continue their education.
A local Arabic-language newspaper reported yesterday that the Naturalisation and Residency Department had stopped issuing visas to parents of residents, but continued to issue them to husbands, wives and children. The report prompted panicked expatriates to call newspapers and residency department offices.
Al Menhali said there had been no change in the UAE's naturalisation and residency laws. Applicants are required to deposit a guarantee of Dh5,000, in addition to the visa application fee

I have been in dubai for the last 2.5 years on residence visa, working in a Chartered Accountant firm. Last week, I applied for my parents (father and mother both) entry permits to DNRD under Humanitarian grounds and they told me it will take 7-10 days to get the approval from the Committee. Now when i went to immigration department today, they informed me that my application is rejected and could nt able to tell me the reason for rejection. I even met all the requirements salary, tenancy contract (2 bedroom plus SEWA bills), affidavit evidencing the proof of relationship and that they are alone there in hom ecountry and no one there to take care. When I asked the counter women, she told the reason was not mentioned on the application for its rejection.
Now I want to know can any body know the reason for rejection even i met all the requirements which have been listed on www.dubai.ae website. like: Both mother and father must be sponsored, unless one is dead, or they are divorced.
You should be the only provider supporting them (if they live with other children in another country then you'll have a tough job proving that).
Minimum salary for sponsor is AED 6000 per month if in company provided accommodation, or AED 7000 month if paying for own accommodation.
Medical insurance for parents is required.
Your accommodation should be at least 2 bedrooms.
AED 5000 deposit for each parent requried.
Please tell me any reason or any other requirement which i can meet and bring my parents here with me as they are alone staying there in home country.
Thanks for reading.
