Overview

What this service is

A family residence visa lets an eligible sponsor host a spouse, child, or, where the rules allow, a parent, on a residence file rather than a visit visa.

Who it is for

Residents and eligible investors in Abu Dhabi who want to sponsor immediate family, and sponsors whose residence file is in Dubai and must follow Dubai’s residency channel instead.

Relevant authority

Abu Dhabi family residence files are processed through the identity and residency channel used in Abu Dhabi, commonly the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security. Dubai family residence files commonly go through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs – Dubai. Salary, housing, and insurance conditions are set by those authorities, not by Tellus.

Typical documents

Sponsor’s passport, Emirates ID and residence visa, the family member’s passport, a marriage or birth certificate that has completed the required attestation, tenancy evidence if the authority asks, and medical insurance when the visa type requires it.

How Tellus handles Family Visa Services

  • Spouse, child and dependent visa checklist
  • Sponsor document and salary/tenancy note review where applicable
  • Application typing and attachment preparation
  • Status change, medical and Emirates ID step guidance
  • Renewal and cancellation support where required

What We Need to Start

Share your company or personal details, intended activity, preferred emirate, visa needs and any existing approvals. If you already have documents, send them by WhatsApp or email.

Estimated charges depend on the business activity, jurisdiction, legal structure, visa requirements and government approvals. We confirm a clear checklist before work starts.

How the work proceeds

01

Confirm the pathway

Tell us the emirate, the applicant or company, and the transaction. Tellus checks the sponsor’s emirate first, then whether the relationship certificate is attested, then the medical and identity steps. It prepares the application data and tracks corrections.

02

Match documents to the authority

Sponsor’s passport, Emirates ID and residence visa, the family member’s passport, a marriage or birth certificate that has completed the required attestation, tenancy evidence if the authority asks, and medical insurance when the visa type requires it.

03

File and follow the authority’s response

Tellus tracks corrections, payments, and appointments the authority raises. Approval remains that authority’s decision.

Estimated Timeline

Timelines vary by document completeness, authority appointments and case type. After reviewing your file, we share realistic next-step stages.

Pricing Disclaimer

Government fees and service charges are confirmed before work starts. Website estimates are not a binding quote until your case is reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which authority handles this?
Abu Dhabi family residence files are processed through the identity and residency channel used in Abu Dhabi, commonly the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security. Dubai family residence files commonly go through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs – Dubai. Salary, housing, and insurance conditions are set by those authorities, not by Tellus.
Which documents are usually required?
Sponsor’s passport, Emirates ID and residence visa, the family member’s passport, a marriage or birth certificate that has completed the required attestation, tenancy evidence if the authority asks, and medical insurance when the visa type requires it.
What affects the government fees?
Fees vary by the family member’s age, whether the case is a new entry permit or a renewal, and whether medical and ID charges apply. A visit-visa fine is a separate government charge if someone has overstayed.
What affects the timeline?
An unattested marriage certificate stops the file before any visa timing starts. Medical results and identity appointments add steps after the entry permit. No fixed calendar is given.
What are the main restrictions?
Sponsoring parents, adult children, or more than one spouse is not the same pathway as sponsoring a spouse or a minor child. A visit visa cannot be described as a family residence visa. Approval is the authority’s decision.
Do you guarantee approval?
No. The government authority decides. Tellus prepares the file and follows up. Website text is guidance, not a promise of approval or a fixed fee.
How does Tellus assist?
Tellus checks the sponsor’s emirate first, then whether the relationship certificate is attested, then the medical and identity steps. It prepares the application data and tracks corrections.
How do I start?
Contact Tellus by WhatsApp, phone, or the website form with the emirate and the transaction. Abu Dhabi files are handled by TELLUS TYPING LLC SPC. Dubai business-setup files are handled by TELLUS BUSINESS SET UP SERVICE.
