The official statement reads:

1. Spouses 2. Children 3. Parents
Golden visa significance
One detail worth noting is that the benefit applies to children regardless of age. This sets the UAE Golden Visa apart from standard residency arrangements, which typically cap child sponsorship at a specific age threshold. Under this scheme, adult children remain eligible as long as the primary holder maintains their Golden Residency status.
The inclusion of parents is equally notable. Many residency and immigration programmes around the world limit family sponsorship to immediate household members such as spouses and minor children, making the UAE's provision for parents a distinct advantage for holders who wish to keep extended family close.
The UAE government frames the benefit explicitly around the concept of family stability, positioning the Golden Visa not merely as an individual privilege but as a long-term arrangement for entire households.
