Family Inclusion

‍

The UAE Golden Visa program offers generous family inclusion provisions. Main applicants can sponsor their immediate family members, including spouses, children, and in some cases, dependent parents and domestic staff.

‍

• Spouse and Children: No age limit as of 2022 for unmarried daughters and dependent sons under 25.
  
• Parents: Must prove dependency, usually via income thresholds or cohabitation proofs.
  
• Domestic Staff: Up to three workers can be sponsored, such as nannies or drivers.
  
• Documentation: Birth/marriage certificates, legalized and translated; proof of dependency may require notarized affidavits and financial guarantees.
  
  

Strategically, families should consider applying jointly at the outset to reduce processing costs and avoid the complications of follow-on applications, which may require re-demonstration of investment sufficiency.
