Frequently Asked Question
Q:
I am currently based
in Delhi (India) but trying for a job in Dubai. I am separated from my
husband and my 11-year-old daughter stays with me (not custody as I am
not divorced from her father) I want to know if I can take my daughter
to Dubai with me if I get a job there. If yes, what are the
formalities?
A:
Pursuant to your
question, it may be advised that, once your prospective employer
obtains an
employment visa for you and it is
affixed on your passport, you may subsequently apply for a dependant
visa for your daughter in Dubai. For this, you will need to apply to
the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners' Affairs (the
"Directorate") in Dubai and the issuance of the visa for your daughter
will be at the sole discretion of the directorate.
As per the prevailing rules of the directorate, you may sponsor your
daughter if you have a minimum salary of Dh10,000 or salary of
Dh7,000 plus employer's accommodation or your own
accommodation. In case of your own accommodation you should have a
valid Ejari
tenancy contract for your accommodation. Further, you will
also need to secure a letter of no-objection or NOC from your husband
stating that he has no objections with your daughter staying with you
in Dubai under your sponsorship. The NOC should also be duly notarised
and
legalised in India. (KT).
Q:
I am living in Abu
Dhabi on my company sponsorship. I work as a secretary and earn around
Dh15,000. I and my husband are going through the legal formalities for
divorce in India. Can I sponsor my children? My son is 15 and daughter
is 10. Is it necessary to get divorce and custody, and then apply for
visas for my kids or can I apply now before the divorce?
A:
According to the Abu
Dhabi Government, expatriate women, who work in a rare or important specialisation, such as engineering, education, nursing or any other
profession related to the medical sector, can apply for visas for
family members, if her salary is not less than Dh10,000 or Dh8,000
plus accommodation providing sponsorship requirements are met. Since,
your profession does not match the above you should check it with the
Department of Naturalisation and Residency Affairs, which may deal
with it on a case by case basis.
Generally, a daughter of any age could be sponsored. However, a son
could be sponsored only if he is below 18. Furthermore, you will be
required to produce either marriage certificate or divorce and custody
documents duly attested by the UAE Foreign Ministry. Since the divorce
is pending back in India you are not able to produce marriage
certificate. Alternatively you have to wait till you can produce
divorce and custody document.
