If you are a Dubai resident visa holder and want to bring your family members, wife and children to UAE, you must first apply for an entry residence visa and after they arrive, you have up to 30 days to stamp resident visa.
(New residence visas or Renewal of existing visa linked to medical insurance in Dubai
With effect from August 1, 2015, no new residence visas or renewal of existing visa applications will be processed without mandatory health insurance coverage in Dubai.)

Your monthly salary should not be less than AED 4000 or AED 3000 + accommodation. If you want to sponsor a residence visa for your parents, your minimum monthly salary should be AED 10,000. See residence visa for parents separately.

Procedure:
1. Ensure that you take your spouse/child over 15 for a health check-up and obtain a Medical Certificate.
2. Go to any authorised typing office & get application form typed and pay the fees.
