FAQs

What salary do I need for a parents visa in the UAE?

An income condition applies, but official sources differ on the amount. We confirm the current rule for your emirate and case.

Can I sponsor only my mother?

Usually both parents are sponsored together. If one parent is widowed or divorced, you can often sponsor just that parent.

How long is a parents visa valid?

The period depends on the authority's current rules and your own visa. It can be renewed, and we confirm the period for your case.

Is approval guaranteed?

No. Approval is decided by UAE authorities. We help you prepare a complete file and explain any request they make.
