Is It possible to sponsor my wife(husbands visa) even if her passport is not yet in my name?

Question

My wife went to Dubai and she as not yet changed her name to mine, is it possible for me to sponsor her even without the name change?

Answer 1

Yes , you don't need to change surname to get husband visa sponsorship.

You must have marriage certificate in order to sponsor your wife.

Answer 2

Yes.

You just need to take the original marriage certificate, a copy and a certified copy (certified as a true copy at the issuing authority in your country) to your consulate in Dubai (or the UAE) and let them certify it as a true copy of the original.

We have done that and it worked. My passport is also still in my maiden surname. I would however advise the wife to keep a copy of your marriage certificate in her passport till she receives the residency VISA (which will be added in her passport) stating you as her sponsor.
