Parent Visa In U.A.E,Sponsor Require Dh 20000 salary

Expatriates earning less than Dh 20,000 salary cant sponsor their parents on residence visas in the UAE.

The new ruling requires applicants to provide evidence of either having a minimum salary of Dh 20,000 or a monthly pay of Dh 19,000 plus a two-bedroom accommodation. 

Old Rule :

(UAE expatriates, holding valid resident visas having a minimum salary of AED 6,000 with accommodation or AED 7,000 without accommodation can get one year renewable resident visas for their parents or parents-in-law.

As per new regulations, you have to sponsor both your mother and father together and show proof that you are their sole provider and that there is no one to take care of them in your home country. However, if your parents are divorced or one is deceased, you should carry documentary proof, when visiting DNRD to obtain the entry permit visa, which is the first stage before you can apply for a residence visa. You also need to obtain a medical insurance policy for each parent with minimum coverage of AED 600 per year.)

• Original passport of sponsor

• Passport copy of parent/s & 1 photo

• Proof of relationship from your embassy/consulate attesting both relationship and that you are sole provider for your parent/s

A new requirement is submission of DEWA bill and your tenancy contract showing you have adequate space in your house for your parents (minimum 2 bedroom apartment). You need to get your tenancy contract stamped by the Land Department, certifying it is minimum 2 bedroom. In case your tenancy contract does not mention that you have at least 2 bedrooms, then you need to get an affidavit from your landlord and submit this as well.
