UAE Family Visit Visa

Apply via WhatsApp

A UAE family visit visa lets you invite your parents, spouse, children, siblings, or grandparents to visit you in the UAE. It isn't a separate visa category from the standard tourist visa — it's simply a tourist visa applied for on behalf of your family member, using your details as the host where relevant.

TravelChoice specializes in reuniting families in the UAE, and we can process visas for multiple family members at once through our group application service — convenient and cost-effective when you're bringing more than one relative over.

You choose the visa duration that fits their visit: 30 days for a standard family visit, or 60 days for a longer stay. Both are single-entry visas that can be extended once your family member is in the UAE, and both are processed in 24-48 hours as standard.

Who It's For

  • Residents inviting their mother or father to visit the UAE
  • Spouses looking to reunite for a visit
  • Parents bringing children over for a holiday
  • Anyone inviting siblings or grandparents for a family visit

Documents Required

  • Family member's passport, valid for at least 6 months

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring both my parents at the same time?
Yes, you can apply for tourist visas for both parents simultaneously. We offer family packages that make it convenient and cost-effective to bring multiple family members at once.
Can I apply if I'm on a job seeker visa?
If you're currently in the UAE on a job seeker visa, you may sponsor family members for tourist visas depending on your visa status and financial eligibility. Contact our team for a personalized assessment of your situation.
Which visa duration is best for a family visit?
Most family visits use the 30-day visa; if your relatives are staying longer, the 60-day option avoids needing a mid-trip extension.
Do children need their own visa?
Yes, each family member, including children, needs their own individual visa application, though we can process them together as a group.
