  1. hi,
    I want to get residency visa for my wife. I got a room in flat on my name but the electricity bill is not come on my name, it’s come on flat owner name. In that situation can i get residency visa for my wife without electricity bill? Please inform me as soon as possible.
    Thanks

  2. Is it in Dubai or Sharjah? Usually you only show the tenancy contact which is registered in your name. No one requires you to show the electricity bill.

  3. HI,
    I have one question from MOL IF the sponsor visa profession is archives clerk can allow to sponsor his family inside UAE,

  4. I am transferring on to my Husband’s sponsorship but the tenancy contract is under my name. Would that be an issue at all ?!

  9. Hi,

    I had applied for the visa for my wife and children about two weeks back. Visa for the baby got approved a week back, but wife’s visa is still in process. Any idea how long it takes to get the approval? She already had a visa but was out of country for 8 months. I didn’t cancel her visa by myself, would that cause any issue?

  10. How did you apply? Did you mention the status before submitting for new visa? I don’t think it will be a problem other than being delayed. If possible check and see if the old visa got cancelled. If that didn’t happen then new visa can’t be processed.

  11. Hi;

    My visa designation is Archives Clerk, and my gross monthly salary is AED 4000.00, can I sponsor residence visa of my wife? I heard that the rules have changed and now it is not possible to apply for family’s visa if basic is less than 4000

  12. It is considered as weak profession and you may or may not get visa. You have to check with a typing centre because they will always be updated with the updated Visa changes. Usually AED 4000 is not a problem. Please do check.

    regards,

  122. Dear Sir, My husband applied for residence visa for me and my son. The typing center did a spelling mistake. So,v canceld and reaplied for my visa… it has been 15 days, but no approval sms til now.. when v enquired, in immigration offices they say that it is under CID process.. v don’t get any guidance when v will receive my visa or whom v must meet. Kindly provide a clarification asap.

  124. Dear Mehmood. Scary is fine. They will ask for salary certificate for proof. Tenancy contract should be in your name. Please check typing centre and ask if it can be mentioned as company accommodation.

  125. Dear Nimra, Salary won’t be a problem. Please check regarding the accommodation since the children are quite young, they may allow, but since there are 2, it my be an issue.

  127. Dear Anand, You would have to first get your birth certificate and then along with your IDs, submit an application for new passport.

  128. Dear Imran, Since you have a Dubai Visa you have to apply in Dubai, but for Visit visa, I think you can apply from ant typing centre. Please check in typing centre, sometimes there may be provision to apply for Dubai Visa too. Not sure.

  129. Dear Shahid, Yes he can. He has to apply for visa as usual with all necessary documents. Some Emirates require that the Birth Certificate be attested. If so, it will cost around AED 500 and take about 15 days. A lot of typing centres attest certificates.

  131. Dear Essa, I haven’t heard of getting visa from any emirate without a tenancy contract. You have to check that out. Regarding the apartment etc, you can have it in any emirate.

  161. Hi Mr.Ravoof,

    I recently have taken employment in Dubai. The company sent me an employment entry permit initially which i used to get in. My salary is 20K. My profession is a Compute Engineer in my unlimited employment contract. My wife (25yrs) and baby (7months) came along with me to Dubai on a 90-day Tourist visit visa valid for a period of 3 months (taken from a tourisim agency in India). We are currently staying in a company provided accomodation in a hotel at DIC. My date of joining was 28th June 2017. I have received my scanned copy of my passport with my resident visa stamping done, yet to received my orginial passport from my employer. My EIDA is still under process and should be done post my stamping. I am yet to find an apartment after finishing my hotel stay? I have already attested our marriage certificate and baby’s birth certificate in India itself from State Dep+MOFA+UAE Embassy.Questions are;

    1. Considering my wife and little baby, can I look for a studio or a 1BHK apartment so as to not face issues with their resident visa applications?
    2. What is the process for the status change from the visit visa to a resident visa for them under my sponsorship?
    3. What do I need to ask at the typing center which is important in my scenario?
    4. Would they cancel my 3 month tourist visa as issue a new resident entry permit since my wife and baby are with me inside dubai?
    5. As I have already spent for their 3 month tourist and would like to make full use of the visa, can I start the status change application 15 days before the 90-day visit visa expiry or should be initiated a month before?
    6. How long does the status change process take?
    7. Are salary slips mandatory? As this is my first week, would i have to wait for 2 months to get my salary slips to then apply for their visa change?

    Appreciate your response to my queries. Thanks in advance.

  174. Studio is ok for baby with family. You will need to attest your marriage certificate. Yes you can attest in India. You just need to know where all you have to. Im not sure. Please check with any typing centre. If the cost doesn’t vary then it is best you attest from here. I think it costs around AED 450 for marriage certificate. It might vary.
