What Is a Newborn Residence Visa in the UAE
Legal Residency for Your Newborn With a Strict 120-Day Rule
A newborn residence visa in the UAE is a mandatory permit issued to children born in the country to resident parents. It grants legal residency status and includes an Emirates ID. Parents must apply within 120 days of birth to avoid daily fines and legal penalties.
The child’s sponsor — typically the father — must apply for the visa, which includes birth registration, passport issuance, visa stamping, and Emirates ID application. The process involves coordination with health authorities, the child’s home country embassy, and UAE government portals (GDRFA or ICP).
EGSH provides full legal assistance, ensuring timely document preparation, accurate submission, and official processing through authorised channels.
