Residents in Dubai can put their family's visa on hold for 60 days, only if they are moving from Dubai to Dubai.

To put your family visa on hold in Dubai, visit the GDRFA centre branch in Al Manara or Al Twar.

It is only possible to your family's visa on hold if you are changing jobs within the same emirate.

If you are moving between emirates, you would need to cancel your family's visa to apply for your new residence permit.

Cancellation charge: Dh180 per dependent in Dubai.

Once your residence visa application is complete, you can apply for your family's visa, starting with their entry permit.

Cost of applying for entry permit: If your dependent is inside the UAE, applying for entry permit can cost around Dh1,800.

Once the entry permit is approved, you would need to apply for your dependents' Emirates IDs and medical fitness test.

Cost of residence visa stamping: Dh470    read more
