Parent sponsorship requires minimum monthly salary of AED 20k OR AED 19k plus 2-bed housing accommodation, evidence that no one else can sponsor them in their home country, and full medical insurance covering both parents.

Documents: salary certificate, tenancy contract showing minimum 2-bed unit, attested birth certificates, parents' medical insurance policies, and a no-objection from any siblings residing elsewhere. Process at ICP Smart Services portal, decision in 7-14 days.

Apply through ICP with: salary certificate, employment contract, attested degree, last 6 months bank statements showing the salary deposits, and a recommendation letter from your employer.

Yes. UAE permits dependent-visa extension for adult sons up to age 25 if they remain in full-time education at a recognised institution in the UAE.

ICP rejections rarely come with detailed reasons; the default is a status code rather than reasoning. Step 1: file a Reconsideration Request via the ICP portal within 30 days of rejection, attaching any additional supporting evidence (clearer property valuation, updated bank statements, source-of-funds confirmation). Step 2: if still rejected, file a written grievance to the ICP Director General. Step 3: as a last resort, judicial review at the Federal Court. Most rejections are because the property is under joint ownership or the AED 2M threshold is met across multiple smaller units — ICP wants a single qualifying property.
