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.

How to apply for a UAE newborn visa in Dubai?

Parents (usually fathers) must apply for a newborn visa within 120 days of the child’s birth to avoid fines. The process includes: Registering the birth and obtaining an attested UAE birth certificate. Issuing the newborn’s passport through the respective embassy or consulate. Preparing all the required documents, including the father’s Emirates ID, tenancy contract, a salary certificate and health insurance. Submitting the visa and Emirates ID applications through authorised GDRFA or ICP channels. Applications can be submitted via EGSH, a licensed AMER centre, to ensure full compliance with UAE residency rules for newborns, including document verification and timely submission.

What happens if I miss the 120-day deadline?

If you fail to apply for your newborn’s residence visa within 120 days of birth, overstay penalties will apply. The fine for a newborn baby is typically between AED 25 and AED 100 per day, depending on the emirate. Visa processing cannot continue until all fines have been paid. Timely application is mandatory under UAE residency regulations.

What are the documents required to sponsor a child in Dubai by the father?

To apply for a residence visa for a baby in the UAE, the father must provide the following documents: Valid passport and UAE residence visa Emirates ID An attested birth certificate of the child Baby’s passport and photo Registered tenancy contract (Ejari) Health insurance for the child Salary certificate or labour contract (minimum AED 4,000 or AED 3,000 with housing) If the mother is not under the father’s sponsorship, a marriage certificate may also be required. All documents must be valid and, where applicable, officially attested. EGSH ensures that all the necessary documents are reviewed and submitted in full compliance with UAE regulations.

What is the cost of a newborn visa in Dubai?

The cost of a residence visa for a child in the UAE varies depending on the emirate and application channel. In Dubai, the standard government fee covers application charges, visa issuance, an Emirates ID and service fees. Additional costs may apply for document attestation, medical insurance, and urgent processing. EGSH provides a full breakdown of all applicable fees before submission.

Do children need an Emirates ID to apply for a newborn visa in Dubai?

When applying for a residence visa in Dubai, you must also register for an Emirates ID for your baby. The Emirates ID is mandatory for all UAE residents, including newborns, and is issued as part of the visa process through the ICP. The ID application is submitted alongside the visa request and is delivered once approved. EGSH assists with the complete Emirates ID registration process to ensure timely and accurate submission.

What are the medical test rules for a baby’s residence permit in the UAE?

Medical fitness tests are not required for children under 18 applying for a baby residence permit in the UAE. This exemption applies across all emirates and includes newborns. Visa and Emirates ID can be processed without a medical examination. EGSH ensures that applications for children are submitted correctly and without unnecessary steps.

How long does it take to process a residence visa for a newborn in Dubai?

Once all documents are submitted and approved, the newborn visa in Dubai is typically processed within 5 working days. This includes visa stamping and Emirates ID issuance. Delays may occur if the application is incomplete or if there are discrepancies in the supporting documents. EGSH monitors the process and ensures timely follow-up until completion.

Can the mother sponsor the baby?

The mother can sponsor her child in the UAE if she holds a valid residence visa and meets the salary and housing requirements set by the GDRFA or ICP. Additional conditions apply, including providing a notarised and attested NOC letter from the father. EGSH reviews eligibility and ensures that all supporting documents are prepared in accordance with UAE regulations.

We had the pleasure of being assisted by the lovely Ms Maria and Ms Randa. They were clear concise and super professional throughout our whole process of renewing our Ejari and business licence. Maria provided continued support while we were waiting for our business Ejari to come through and made it a simple seamless process. I can’t thank these lovely ladies enough. We saved so much money going direct and it was refreshing knowing we are not over paying going through a PRO or typing service company that add so many fees. I saved over 6000aed just for reference. Thank you to EGSH staff. Especially Maria & Randa 🙏
