Family Visa in Dubai
Dubai offers the fastest family visa processing in the UAE through the GDRFA system. Let us handle the Amer typing, Ejari, and medicals.

Unlike other emirates, Dubai uses the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). Applications are processed through Amer centers. We guarantee 100% compliance with GDRFA file opening and approval protocols.

In Dubai, you cannot sponsor your family without a valid Ejari (registered tenancy contract) under the sponsor's name. Shared accommodation letters or NOCs are no longer accepted by GDRFA for family sponsorship.

Dubai law requires all residents to have continuous medical insurance. You must secure a Dubai Health Authority (DHA) approved policy for your dependents before their visa can be stamped.
Processing Centers
We coordinate with major Amer centers and DHA medical fitness centers across Dubai to ensure your family's biometrics and medical tests are completed on the same day.
