Estimated figures. Final fees are confirmed in writing. Approval rests with the authorities.

You have 120 days from the date of birth

A baby born in the UAE must have a passport and a residence visa within 120 days of birth. The clock starts on the birth date, and a daily fine applies from day 121, so the best time to start is in the first two weeks.

The sponsoring parent needs a monthly salary of at least AED 4,000 (or AED 3,000 with accommodation) on a standard visa. Golden Visa holders sponsor under their Golden Visa. A mother who meets the female-sponsor rules can sponsor in her own name.
