Can I sponsor my family on a RAKEZ free zone investor visa?

Yes — holders of a UAE residence visa obtained through a free zone such as RAKEZ can generally sponsor eligible family members, including a spouse and children, subject to the federal family-sponsorship conditions. Family sponsorship in the UAE is administered under the federal immigration framework overseen by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) and the relevant emirate's residency authority, and it usually requires the sponsor to meet conditions such as a minimum income/salary threshold, suitable accommodation, and attested documents like marriage and birth certificates. Each dependent then completes the standard entry permit, medical (where applicable), Emirates ID and stamping steps. Because the income threshold, eligible relatives and required documents are set by the immigration authorities and updated periodically, confirm the current requirements before applying rather than assuming a fixed figure. Ensure your own residence visa is active first. For help with attestation or eligibility questions, you can compare verified UAE legal professionals on LEXAI.
