Golden Visa family sponsorship
Golden Visa for Dependents
One of the biggest advantages of the Golden Visa is how easy it is to sponsor your family. DocTrust handles attestation, applications and medicals for every family member.
Quick answer
UAE Golden Visa holders can sponsor their spouse, children (sons and daughters regardless of age) and parents, and can also sponsor domestic workers. Dependents usually receive residency for the same duration as the main holder. If the main holder passes away, family members can stay in the UAE until their permits expire.
Preparing family documents
Marriage and birth certificates must normally be attested and, where needed, translated into Arabic. We can start attestation while your own Golden Visa is being processed, so your family's applications are ready to go.

How the process works
Eligibility assessment

Nomination / application
We submit through ICP or GDRFA (Dubai), or through the relevant nominating body for talent categories.
Entry permit or status change
Once approved, the entry permit is issued, or your status is changed if you are already in the UAE.
Medical, Emirates ID & insurance
We book your medical test and Emirates ID biometrics, and arrange health insurance where required.
10-year residency issued
Your Golden Visa is issued and linked to your Emirates ID. We can then sponsor your family.
