Dubai Golden Visa family residence permit fees
This figure covers the permit itself and applies to family members seeking to reside in the country under a retiree's Golden Visa sponsorship.
Dubai Golden Visa: Family sponsorship file fee
Before the residence permit application can proceed, retirees are also required to open a family sponsorship file, which attracts a separate charge of AED 318.75, or about N117,074.
This means that for every family member a retired Golden Visa holder wishes to sponsor in Dubai, the total outlay starts at AED 5,287.25, amounting to roughly N1,941,964 when both fees are combined.
The UAE's Golden Visa programme grants long-term residency to qualifying individuals, including retirees who meet specific financial requirements.
The publication of these fees gives prospective applicants a clearer picture of the financial commitments involved in relocating family members to the country under this scheme.
