Step-by-Step Family Visa Process in UAE

Step 1: Entry Permit Application

We apply for your family member’s UAE entry permit. Once issued, they can enter the UAE to start the visa process.

Step 2: Medical Fitness Test

For applicants 18 years and above, we arrange their medical test at a government-approved health center (includes blood test and X-ray).

Step 3: Emirates ID Application

We complete your Emirates ID typing and coordinate submission to the authorities.

Step 4: Visa Stamping

Once medical and Emirates ID steps are complete, we process the residence visa stamping — officially granting your family’s residency in the UAE.

Processing Time

Standard Process: 10–14 working days

Express Option: Available upon request
