Visas & residence

Employer, company, remote-work and other routes have different terms. Include medical screening, Emirates ID and dependent-family processing.

Documents for this route

• Valid passport, photograph and employment with an overseas organization.
• Evidence of at least $3,500 monthly income and medical insurance.
• Medical fitness examination and Emirates ID stage following approval.
• Prepare relationship records for dependants; budget medical exams and ID costs separately.

Order police certificates from the required countries. Check whether validity is measured from issue, entry or filing. Prepare birth, marriage and name-change records; check apostille or consular legalization, treaty exemptions and translation requirements. An apostille and a translation are different procedures.

Leave a tailored power of attorney with a trusted person: specify banks, property, document collection and representation. Confirm each institution will accept it, any substitution authority and expiry. Do not hand over banking passwords.

Check total annual school fees, transport and calendar. Summer heat changes daily routines and spending.

Check each family member's residence, work and study rights separately. Children may need custody documents, the other parent's consent specifically to residence, school records and vaccination history. Pet preparation depends on departure, transit, airline and destination veterinary rules.
