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.

10 YEARS

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

  1. Eligibility assessment

    We review your profile against the current Golden Visa criteria and advise on the strongest category.

  2. Supporting documents

    We gather, attest and translate the evidence the authority needs, such as title deeds, salary certificates or endorsements.

  3. Nomination / application

    We submit through ICP or GDRFA (Dubai), or through the relevant nominating body for talent categories.

  4. Entry permit or status change

    Once approved, the entry permit is issued, or your status is changed if you are already in the UAE.

  5. Medical, Emirates ID & insurance

    We book your medical test and Emirates ID biometrics, and arrange health insurance where required.

  6. 10-year residency issued

    Your Golden Visa is issued and linked to your Emirates ID. We can then sponsor your family.

Documents usually required

  • Main holder's Golden Visa / Emirates ID
  • Attested marriage certificate
  • Attested birth certificates
  • Passport copies and photos of dependents
  • Health insurance

Requirements can vary by authority, nationality and activity. We confirm the exact list for your case before anything is submitted.
