What is the process for dubai residential visa?

Answer 1

Residence Visa

Once you have your health card and the results of your medical test, you can go to the Immigration Department to process your residency. While you will often hear this referred to as your visa it is actually your residency permit – the visa is what allows you to enter the country in the first place.

There are two types of residence permit, one for when you are sponsored for employment, and the other for residence only (for example when you are sponsored by a family member who is already sponsored by an employer). The new property-owner visa falls into the latter category, with the developer acting as your sponsor for as long as you own the property. This will only be available to property owners with no other sponsorship options. If you are working in Dubai and buy a property, you will remain on your employment residency. The property-owner visa has no employment rights.

Once a resident, if you leave the UAE it can only be for a period of less than six months at any one time, otherwise your residency will lapse. This is particularly relevant to women going back home to give birth, or children studying abroad. If the residency is cancelled, the original sponsor can visit the Immigration Department and pay Dhs.100 for a ‘Temporary Entry Permit’ which will waive the cancellation and allow the person to re-enter Dubai. You’ll need their passport copy, and will have to fax them a copy of the permit before they fly back.

Sponsorship by Employer

Your company PRO should handle all the paperwork, meaning you probably won’t have to visit the Immigration Department yourself. He’ll take your passport, employment visa (with entry stamp), medical test results, attested education certificates, copies of your company’s establishment immigration card and trade licence, and three passport photos. For a fee of Dhs.300 (plus typing fees) the Immigration Department will process everything and affix and stamp the residency permit in the passport. This may take up to 10 days, during which time you’ll be without your passport, but for an extra Dhs.100 they can do it on the same day. Your company is obliged to pay these fees for you.

When arranging your residency, the company will apply directly for your labour card (see p.88). The Ministry of Labour website (www.mol.gov.ae) has a facility for companies to process applications and transactions online.

To be accepted by the authorities here, your education certificates must be verified by a solicitor or public notary in your home country and then by your foreign office to verify the solicitor as bona fide. It’s a good idea to have this done before you come to Dubai, but Empost...

Answer 3

It depends on your circumstances. If you are:

*Employed by company - the company should process everything (and pay for it) for you.

*Self-employed - you do it yourself by going to Immigration Department with trade licence, passport, money.

*Property owner - the developer should process it but you have to pay them (about 5000 dhs)

*Married - husband (or for some professions, wife) can sponsor you. If you're lucky, your spouses company will help. Otherwise, you or s/he go to Immigration Department with passports, work permit for spouse, marriage certificate, and money.
