Residence Visa |
After obtaining your medical and labour cards you are going to need a residence visa if you are not a GCC national. If you have a job lined up for you, then your company should have your visa application sent to the airport at the time of your arrival. If so, they will stamp a residency visa in your passport.
If you are planning to bring your family members to live with you, then you will need to get a family residence visa. This visa will allow you to sponsor your spouse, children, and parents, if they are coming with you. In order to have a family residence visa, your salary must exceed Dhs. 4,000 a month.
For those coming to the UAE to search for a job, you will be entering the UAE on a visit visa, and once you have found a job, you can transfer to a residence visa by either re-entering the country or else directly transfering it.
Documents required to obtain a Residence Card:
* Passport copy.
* Covering letter from sponsor.
* Visa application copy.
* 2 passport size photographs.
