UAE parent sponsorship

UAE parent sponsorship allows residents to sponsor their parents’ residency visas under certain conditions. Applicants must demonstrate a minimum monthly income (typically AED 20,000+), provide medical insurance for parents, and secure a tenancy contract.

Applications are filed via ICP or GDRFA Dubai. Sponsorship is usually granted for 1-year renewable terms, though reforms are making long-term options easier.

This visa ensures family unity and access to healthcare and stability, especially for expatriates with dependent parents. Dubai’s family-friendly policies reflect its commitment to supporting expat communities.
