UAE Visa: Here's What You Need to Sponsor Your Family

According to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (the GDRFA) regulation, an individual should earn a monthly salary of Dh20,000 to sponsor his or her parents/family in the UAE and should be living in at least a two-bedroom apartment.

One family member should earn the required salary individually. The combined salary of one family member and the other may not be considered.

However, if there is no one to take care of your parents in your home country, and if the salary is less than Dh20,000 you may apply to the GDRFA to sponsor your parents in the UAE.

The GDRFA will ask you to provide evidence that you’re the only sponsor for your family and they are dependent on you due to their old age.

Based on this, the GDRFA may consider your application to sponsor your parents in the UAE even if your monthly salary is lesser than Dh20,000. You may approach the GDRFA for further advice regarding the said matter.
