Change in Expat Family Visa Requirement – Minimum Salary Raised
44 Comments Published by dubaigirl July 2nd, 2009 in Living, News.According to Gulf News, expats who wish to bring their families here will now be required to earn minimum AED 10,000 and also rent an independent accomodation:
Major General Nasser Al Awadi Al Menhali, director general of the Naturalisation and Residency Department (NRD), said the decision was made after a study by the Ministry of Interior on the negative effects of allowing residents to bring their families without sufficient income and a suitable place to stay…
Al Menhali said it is best for the minimum wage to be raised to cope with the cost of living, rents, school fees and health care.
Earlier expats with minimum AED 6,000 salary could sponsor their families. But with Dubai becoming increasingly expensive, many families struggle to make ends meet.

hi i just want to say that this is not fair that you are going to change the minimum salary from 4000 to 10000 now i think evry body will go out from here only the manager and other big people will remain here. this is really not fair with every body otherwise increase the salary also ………….
minimum salary AED6000 is better
minimum salary raised AED 10000 so many persons struggle to hear this news
The amendment of the new rule for the family visa amount in UAE to be minimum of AED 10,000 is not at all acceptable as far as an ordinary person’s most desire to live with his family is beeing sacrificed because of the new law. which means the ordinary person will be always alone and do not have any happiness and rich persons only have to have the pleasure.
This is totaly injustice and not at all acceptable.
dear sir,
my salary is 6500 iam working in dubai can i sponsour my wife or rules are changed already please guide me
Assalam O Alaikum Warahmatullah,
can send me full details related to family / visit visa.
i want to bring my wife here in Dubai, what is the prosses for that.
Thanks
It will increase the depression in expat who is living with his family and who want to bring his family after married.
The life of Expat in Dubai will be worst now without family.
It is a very unfair decision @ this time of recession, many families will be forced to leave the country and it’s a loss to the UAE because it’s the families who spend on the basic necessities and not bachelors.
hw many days it wil take 2 get my spouse visa as am sponsering her visa..plz telme..
It is not acceptable to impliment this rule as it mainly affecting middle class people.So I kindly request to the Govt. officials to withdraw this rule.
Hi members & To some related departments..
As you, the analysist says 10000 DHS min to take our family to dubai is fine, as we know the cost of living, rents, school fees and health care are very high..
Same time why cant the government fix minimum salary that have to be provided by private sectors…
now a days due to economic crices all the company have reduced the salary… but still rent,other expences remains the same….
why cant housing department fix maximum rent depends on location…
if government takes step in all sections , every thing will be ok…
minimum salary 4000 is reasonable,otherwise it will be harmful for this country.
Will this new rule effect the existing families, at the time of renewal of their visas or the new visa applications only, kindly confirm.
its really an unfair decision. the single expat’s life would be really horrible. Plus its will ECONOMIC loss to UAE on the whole.
minimum salary AED4000 is better
if this rules come, i am sure that atleast 60% family members will leave from the country
LOOKING FOR A JOB WITH FAMILY VISA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Oh my GOD that means i cant see my family for 3 Years. You know its Gunnah Islam also dont give permission only last Six months allowed after that …..huh May ALLAH Bless Us
i woild like to bring my family here , so please confirm that the minimum salary 10000 is still applicable or not
this is totaly wrong with those families,there sponsors have the salary less then aed,10000.I think its not justice with them.this law should be change for the happienss of middle status families.
yes this is a very good decision by UAE government, because AED 10000 salary is only fair for the maintenance of family in UAE
If middle class employee leave the UAE, then what happen to improvment of UAE since they are the one who are really work hard. How can they work here without their family. I hope UAE Government will think about it.
If situation will come to live without my family in UAE, it will be better to go back to my home country. Where I will be with them in every moment of life.
my dear friends actuly u all are talking about one or two family those are forced to leave gulf due to changes in the rule
But here the fact is now gulf especilay dubai is very expensive. Even an individual who earnig an amount of AED 10000 also struggling to live there.
Because we want to have some invesments for our future. With an salary of AED 6000 we will enjoy our life with our family but for our future no invesments.
And incase of food we cant imagine an budget price there like india so there also most of currently exsting families are struggling to live there.
So i will support the new rules of UAE goverment
And those who cant live with out family look for high earning jobs there or other wise get a good job in india itself and happily stay with ur family
Best wishes

Hi Guys!
( @ Manikandan & Azharuddin)
As far as I know, Dhs.4000 is enough to bring your family to UAE. visa process is simple. But you have to provide the documents which given below;
1. Your employment Arabic contract ( signed by your sponsor)
2. Salary Certificate
3. Marriage Certificate ( attested by UAE Embassy)
4. Your Passport
5. Your Spouse’s valid Passport Copy
6. Spouse’s photograph ( 4 Nos with white back ground)
7. National ID card/ E – gate card ( sometimes they ask.. depends on their mood! )
8. Tenancy contract ( not necessary in dubai)
Submit the documents ( No.01 to 06) to any typing centre they can prepare the application online for you. Cost will be around Dhs.300 to 350 including the visa fee. Submit the application along with other documents to emigration dept and they will issue residence visa at the same day.
NB: Rules will be changed at any time. beware of that!
All the Best!

Not a big matter. Because now time is closer to bring an end to the dictatorship in countries like UAE. The localsof UAE are fed by the goverment for keeping silent. It is clear that education has not made any change in these fellows.
