If you've given birth in Dubai, you have to get your newborn a residency visa quite quickly. Here we take a look at the procedure and how to get it all done.

You must apply for a residency visa for a newborn baby within 120 days of the birth.

If you fail to do this the child will not be allowed to leave the UAE and the legal guardian must pay an AED 100 fine for each day over the 120 day period.

Documents Required:

  • Original + a copy of the attested marriage certificate
  • Passport copy of sponsor
  • Copy of mother's passport and visa page
  • Copy of job contract for the sponsor or a salary certificate

Procedure:

  • Go to a certified typing office and have them complete the form for you after paying the fees
  • Go to the residency section at the DNRD (Toll free 800-5111), and hand in the documents
  • The passport with the residency visa will be sent to you through a courier service
