Does anyone know the costs associated with getting a spouse visa? We have already paid approximately 400 to 500 for the costs associated with getting the pink slip, typing etc as we paid a PRO to arrange this. We have done the medical and paid 720dhs as I went to the medical office in Knowledge village where you pay more. Now my husband has gone to get the visa done without the PRO as I received the medical results and they have asked for 412 dhs for typing???? and another 610dhs to change my status??? Are we getting ripped off? Will my husband be asked to pay anymore after this? He is getting it done in the Deira immigration office. TIA

You can visit the immigration office on the Ground Floor of the Dnata Travel Centre on Shk Zayed Road. There is hardly any rush there and is a great find for me personally.

If you would be sponsoring your husband, your certificate needs to be translated in Arabic and salary should be more than Dhs 10,000. You would need your labour contract, to start the process. Employment certificate in Arabic from [b'>your employer[/b'>, adressed to the Immigration, and all details like designation and salary should be same as the labour contract. Your spouses or childrens passport copies and passport size photos.(6 passport size photos -white background) Family Sponsorship [b'>The below are the costs for the process[/b'> 1)Type Application at a local typing center it will cost Dhs 250.00 2)Get the labour contract attested in Immigration, this will cost Dhs 130.00. 3)Inside Immigration get a print out of the Entry permit.If the person is outside the country. 4)If the person in inside the country, an additional charge of Dhs 550.00 will have to paid for man in country fees along with the entry permit fees.And then the Entry permit will have to be printed from Immigration. 5)If the person is in the country status change document also will have to typed.This will cost Dhs 650.00 6)Fitness report will have to be obtained from Al Baraha hospital if Dxb this will cost Dhs 660.00.
