Dependent Visa for Separated Mother

Hi Everyone!
I would be settling in Dubai soon, as my husband has got a job there. I wanted to take my mother there once I settle. I was shocked to see the conditions for taking parents!
1. My parents have been separated since 2009 and there is no legality of the same, just a mutual separation. I read that either both parents have to be taken there or a death certificate/ legal divorce papers are required.
2. The sponsor must be earning AED 19,000 with 2 BHK accommodation, or AED 20,000, without accommodation. My husband will be earning AED 11,500 per month.
So, is it that there are no ways around these rules and I will never be able to keep her with me?
I do not have siblings or anyone to take care of her in India.
Please help!

Hi, Yes you need to abide by the rules, my husband has sponsored his parents and I can help with the process and they are very strict by it. Still you can try applying for the visa. 1) 3 months UAE bank statements - We had to wait for 3 months for this. 2) Labor contract or salary certificate(for freezone) 3) Letter from Indian embassy stating that there is no one in India to take care of parents. You can go to BLS India office and they will help you with this document. 4) Insurance - since now insurance is compulsory 5) Filled up form 6) Passport and visa copies 7) You need to apply for both your parents 8) Rent Agreement and EJARI Certificate (Min 2 BHK) You need to go to Humanitarian desk and submit application with all documents, and there is good probability that they will not accept application if criteria isnt met, but you can still try. You will get a sms within 7 days if your application is accepted and than you need to go again to apply for entry visa which you will get right away. I would suggest try 3 months visit or tourist visas and keep renewing them by entering/exiting.

Hi there, I know it seems hard but please be aware that living in Dubai is very expensive. If your husband is earning 11,500AED a month will you have to pay accommodation out of that? I know that lots of families on this type of salary share accommodation - whether this is legal is another issue as sharing villas is still, I believe, against the law. To sponsor you and any other family members you will need to have a tenancy contract in his name. Also if you are able to sponsor your mother (yes you will need the paperwork they request - they love rules and paperwork here) you will probably also have to prove that you have adequate medical insurance cover for her, again this can be expensive. You do not mention any children, if you do have children of school age this will also be an added expense for you. Firstly find out if you can sponsor you mother, and if it is possible then you need to be very aware of the living/accommodation/visa/emirates ID/medical costs involved in a move here. I wish you every luck, Dubai is getting more expensive by the year, I have been here 7 years and costs have just risen every year.
