What Is a Son / Daughter Residence Visa in UAE?

Legal Residency Permit for Your Dependent Children

A son or daughter residence visa allows UAE residents to sponsor their dependent children for a long-term legal stay in the country. Sons can be sponsored up to the age of 25 if enrolled in education; unmarried daughters have no age limit.

This visa grants access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and Emirates ID. It is mandatory for children residing in the UAE on a long-term basis.

EGSH handles the whole process through authorised government channels, ensuring eligibility checks, document verification, visa stamping, and Emirates ID registration are completed in accordance with current GDRFA and ICP requirements.

How to apply for a child residence visa in the UAE?

To apply for a child residence visa in Dubai, the sponsoring parent must hold a valid UAE residence visa and meet the minimum income threshold of AED 4,000 per month or AED 3,000 with accommodation, along with a registered tenancy contract. The application process starts with preparing the required documents, including the child’s passport, attested birth certificate, passport photo, valid health insurance, and the sponsor’s Emirates ID, residence visa, salary certificate, and housing proof. For children aged 18 or above, a medical fitness test is mandatory. Once all documents are verified, the application is submitted through authorised government channels such as GDRFA or ICP. Upon approval, the residence visa is stamped in the child’s passport, and the Emirates ID is issued. EGSH manages the whole process, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements and avoiding delays or document rejections.

Are there any specific rules for a daughter’s residence visa in Dubai?

Under UAE family sponsorship rules, a daughter can be sponsored by a parent only if she is unmarried. There is no age limit for sponsoring an unmarried daughter under this category. Once married, a daughter becomes ineligible for a residence visa under family sponsorship and must obtain residency through her husband or another eligible visa category. To sponsor a daughter, the parent must meet standard requirements, including a valid UAE residence visa, sufficient income, and appropriate accommodation. If the mother is the sponsor, an attested No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the father may also be required. EGSH ensures all applications meet the official conditions set by GDRFA and ICP.

Can I apply for a child visa in Dubai if my child is outside the country?

If your child is outside the UAE, you must first apply for an entry permit through GDRFA before proceeding with the residence visa application. Once the entry permit is approved, the child can enter the UAE, after which you must complete the remaining steps — including medical fitness (if applicable), Emirates ID registration, and visa stamping — within the permitted timeframe. EGSH manages the whole process, ensuring all submissions comply with official procedures for obtaining a child visa in Dubai through government-authorised channels.

How much does a child visa cost in Dubai?

The cost of a child visa in Dubai depends on the duration of the visa. This includes government fees for visa issuance, Emirates ID, and administrative services. Additional expenses may apply for document attestation, medical tests (if required), and urgent processing. EGSH provides a complete cost breakdown in advance and ensures that all fees are paid through authorised systems.

Who can sponsor a child’s residence visa in the UAE — the father or the mother?

In the UAE, either the father or the mother can sponsor a child’s residence visa. By default, the father is considered the primary sponsor if he holds a valid UAE residence visa and meets the income and accommodation requirements. The mother may also sponsor the child if she meets the same conditions and provides a notarised and attested No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the father. EGSH ensures all sponsor eligibility checks and documentation are completed in line with the current sponsor visa UAE policies.

What is the maximum age for sponsoring a son for a residence visa in the UAE?

A son can typically be sponsored for a UAE residence visa up to the age of 25, provided he is enrolled in higher education. Proof of active study, such as a university enrolment letter, is required. Sons aged 18 and above must also complete a medical fitness test. In exceptional cases, such as disability or approved humanitarian circumstances, sons may remain eligible beyond the age of 25, subject to special approval from the relevant authorities. EGSH reviews eligibility and assists with applications under both standard and exceptional conditions.

What happens to my daughter’s residence visa if she gets married?

Under UAE residency regulations, unmarried status is a core condition for sponsoring a daughter. Once married, the daughter no longer qualifies for dependent sponsorship and must either transition to an alternative visa type or cancel her existing visa within the official grace period. EGSH provides guidance on eligible visa alternatives and manages the cancellation process in full compliance with GDRFA procedures.
