Planning to bring your loved ones to Dubai in 2025? Understanding the family visa typing process is the first essential step. Dubai has streamlined the visa process for expats wishing to sponsor their immediate family, and family visa typing is where it all begins.
What is Family Visa Typing?
Family visa typing is the process of entering accurate applicant and sponsor data into the UAE immigration system. This is usually handled by authorized typing centers such as Arabian Business Centre, which ensures all documents are correctly formatted and submitted to the GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs).
Who Can Sponsor?
Any UAE resident earning a minimum monthly salary of AED 4,000 (or AED 3,000 plus accommodation) can sponsor their spouse, children, or parents, subject to specific conditions and documentation.
Required Documents Include:
-
Sponsor’s Emirates ID and passport copy
-
Labor contract or salary certificate
-
Ejari (tenancy contract)
-
Passport-sized photos and passports of dependents
-
Marriage certificate and birth certificates (attested and translated)
-
Recent utility bill or DEWA bill
2025 Updates
Dubai continues to enhance digital services. As of 2025, you can initiate your family visa typing at approved Amer centres or via the GDRFA’s smart portal. Processing is faster, and centers like Arabian Business Centre offer both online and offline support.
Why Choose a Trusted Typing Center?
Errors in typing can lead to delays or rejection. Choosing a certified typing center ensures compliance with UAE regulations, accurate data entry, and timely submission of your application.
Bringing your family to Dubai is now easier than ever with expert assistance and reliable typing services that help you every step of the way.
