UAE New Residence Visa Rules
The UAE government has introduced new rules for residence visas, requiring expats to have a minimum monthly salary of Dh10,000 to sponsor up to five family members for UAE residency. These rules aim to ensure that expats can financially support their families during their stay. Previously, expats only needed a monthly salary of Dh4,000 for family sponsorship. However, the new minimum salary requirement aligns with the country’s efforts to maintain a stable population growth rate and control living costs.
It’s important to note that exceptions exist. For example, doctors, engineers, and certain professionals must have a minimum salary of Dh15,000 per month to sponsor their families. Furthermore, these updated regulations do not apply to those who sponsored their families before implementing these new rules.
The UAE’s visa rules are subject to change, so expats must stay updated with the latest regulations. Looking for guidance from a trustworthy immigration advisor or legal advisor for visa requirements and other legal matters related to living and working in the UAE is advisable.
