Your monthly salary should not be less than AED 4000 or AED 3000 + accommodation. If you want to sponsor a residence visa for your parents, your minimum monthly salary should be AED 10,000. See residence visa for parents separately.

Criteria :
** UAE expatriates, holding valid resident visas having a minimum salary of AED 19,000 with accommodation or salary of AED 20,000 without accommodation can get one year renewable resident visas for their parents or parents-in-law. In case your salary is lower than this, you can approach the Humanitarian Desk at DNRD, who will deal with individual cases on a humanitarian basis.
** As per regulations, you have to sponsor both your mother and father together and show proof that you are their sole provider and that there is no one to take care of them in your home country.
** However, if your parents are divorced or one is deceased, you should carry documentary proof, when visiting DNRD to obtain the entry permit visa, which is the first stage before you can apply for a residence visa. You also need to obtain a medical insurance policy for each parent with minimum coverage of AED 600 per year.
Documents required for entry visa :
** Typed application form
** Original passport of sponsor
** Passport copy of parent/s & 1 photo
** Proof of relationship from your embassy/consulate attesting both relationship and that you are sole provider for your parent/s
Copy of job contract for the sponsor or salary certificate from employer.
** A new requirement is submission of DEWA bill and your tenancy contract showing you have adequate space in your house for your parents (minimum 2 bedroom apartment). You need to get your tenancy contract stamped by the Land Department, certifying it is minimum 2 bedroom. In case your tenancy contract does not mention that you have at least 2 bedrooms, then you need to get an affidavit from your landlord and submit this as well.
Procedure :
** Take the documents and go to General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs – Dubai. Submit along with a letter from your side appealing on humanitarian grounds for entry visa for your parent/s.
** Enclose copies of all above documents along with your contact numbers. The Approval Committee will either confirm or reject your application within two weeks. If approved, go to next step.
** Have a registered typist complete the form after paying the fees.
** Go to the residency section of DNRD and hand in the documents.
** Entry Permit will be sent by Empost usually within 48 hours, or if you have applied for urgent visa, then you should receive it from the counter in a few minutes.
Fees
** AED 2,000 refundable deposit (keep receipt safely for renewal or reimbursement, as this is paid back only when the visa is cancelled or in case your parent dies)
** AED 110 application fee + typing centre fee (or pay AED 100 more for urgent application)
** Convert entry visa to residence visa for parents
** Once your parents enter the country with the entry visa, you must convert it to a residency visa no later than 60 days from the date of entry.
