Dear Customer
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated! We welcome you to join us in the legal section
It should be noted that after reviewing your inquiry and legal scrutiny we would like to inform you that
Please note that my answer to your question will be purely from an academic point of view based on the limited initial information provided.

Therefore, it should not be treated as a legal opinion of the need for adequate knowledge and review of relevant documents when reading the applicable laws.

After your spouse and children arrive in the UAE, you will need to take them to get a residence visa. This should be done within the first 60 days after arrival. The renewable residence visa is usually valid for three years.

You require the same documents to apply for the residence visa that you needed for the entry permit. It is always a good idea to bring extra copies with you of each document in addition to the original or certified copy. The following additional documents are required:

• a completed application form, signed by you, the sponsor
• the original passports of the sponsor and family member(s) as well as copies
• three passport-sized photos for each family member
• entry permit(s)
• a medical fitness certificate for each family member above 15 years of age
• proof of health insurance for your spouse and children
• your residence visa (original and copy)
• your Emirates ID card and labor card (original and copy)
• fees: 370 AED (an extra 100 AED for urgent applications)

Before you can apply for the residence visa, your spouse and children over 18 years of age will need to get a medical check-up. You can read more about this procedure in our article on residence visas.
