Identify the sponsor’s residence category
Start with the sponsor’s current residence permit. A company investor or partner, a property owner and a Golden Visa holder can have different document and fee routes. Tell QuickDocs which category appears on the permit before using the family visa calculator.
Investor or partner sponsor documents
GDRFA’s family entry-permit page includes partnership documentation for a partner sponsor. Our preparation checklist asks for the Memorandum of Association or partnership agreement and valid trade licence alongside the sponsor’s passport, residence permit and Emirates ID. The exact company documents depend on the category.
The same GDRFA page lists a partner-share condition of at least AED 48,000. Confirm its application to your residence category with GDRFA or Amer; company ownership on its own does not establish every family-sponsorship condition.
Prepare each dependent’s documents
Use a separate folder for each dependent’s passport, recent photograph and applicable relationship certificate. For a new spouse or child application, check attestation and any receiving-authority translation requirement. Read the full family document checklist before arranging certificate work.
Share the dependent’s age, relationship and current location. Parents, adult children and special family circumstances need a category-specific review before an estimate becomes a confirmed quote.
Understand the government-fee estimate
The calculator shows government-fee estimates and asks you to contact QuickDocs for the service fee. It excludes refundable guarantees, insurance, attestation, translation, fines and other case-specific items. Confirm any applicable guarantee and its refund conditions before paying.
Inside-country and outside-country routes have different steps. If dependents are in mixed locations, ask for an itemised family estimate showing each person separately.
New applications and renewals
Use the renewal checklist when the dependent’s existing residence is being renewed. In QuickDocs’ standard renewal checklist, marriage and birth certificates are not requested again; tenancy/Ejari is requested for parent renewal cases. An authority amendment or changed family circumstances can require additional evidence.
If the sponsor changed company or received a new residence visa, check whether the family sponsorship file needs updating or opening. Use the renewal calculator to include the sponsor-file question.
If the investor visa is based on property
Use the Golden Visa and property-investor guide to reach the relevant Dubai Land Department service. Confirm that route directly before applying ordinary company-partner assumptions to the case.
