Can I sponsor my family on my UAE Golden Visa?

Yes. A key benefit of the UAE Golden Visa is that holders can sponsor their family members, and the sponsorship terms are generally more flexible than standard residence visas. Golden Visa holders can typically sponsor their spouse and children, and the dependents' residence is usually aligned with the holder's long-term visa rather than a short renewal cycle. To sponsor a dependent you apply through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) or, in Dubai, GDRFA, providing proof of relationship such as an attested marriage certificate for a spouse and birth certificates for children, along with passports, photographs and your own Golden Visa details. Each dependent completes the standard steps of medical fitness screening (where required by age), Emirates ID registration and visa issuance. The precise list of who you can sponsor and the supporting documents are set by the authorities and can change, so confirm current rules on u.ae or the ICP/GDRFA portals.
