UAE family visa application online
The UAE family visa application online process allows expatriates to sponsor spouses, children, and sometimes parents digitally. Applications are managed via ICP Smart Services or GDRFA Dubai, depending on the emirate.
Required documents include passports, marriage or birth certificates, Emirates ID, tenancy contracts, and proof of income. The process is streamlined, often taking 24–72 hours, with digital uploads and biometric appointments managed online.
Dubai also integrates applications into the DubaiNow app, ensuring families can complete sponsorship requests without physical paperwork. This aligns with the UAE’s Smart Government initiative to deliver services quickly and transparently.
