How much does a UAE residency visa cost?
A UAE residency visa usually costs somewhere between AED 3,500 and AED 10,000 per person for the visa process itself, depending on the visa type, where you apply from and the services included. Extras such as health insurance, medical test, Emirates ID and PRO support add to the total. Use the calculator above for an indicative range based on your own selections.
What is included in the cost of a UAE visa?
A typical visa budget covers the entry permit, status change or entry, the medical fitness test, Emirates ID fees, visa stamping or residency issuance, and often health insurance. Costs vary by emirate, visa type and the package offered by the sponsor, free zone or service provider.
How much does an investor or partner visa cost in the UAE?
An investor or partner visa is usually in the range of AED 4,500 to AED 9,500 for the process itself, depending on the jurisdiction and whether it is linked to a free zone or mainland company. Insurance, medical test and Emirates ID are usually added on top. Final pricing depends on current government fees.
Who pays for an employment visa in the UAE?
For employment visas the employer usually covers the visa cost, as required by UAE labour rules in most cases. If you are budgeting as an employer, the calculator can give you an indicative per-employee range including typical extras.
How much does a family visa cost in the UAE?
Sponsoring a spouse, child or parent usually costs around AED 3,500 to AED 8,000 per dependant including typical government fees, plus medical test, Emirates ID and insurance where applicable. Sponsors generally need to meet minimum salary and accommodation requirements, which a consultant can confirm for your case.
Is a freelancer visa cheaper than a company setup?
A freelance permit with a linked residency visa is often cheaper than a full company setup, with indicative all-in packages starting from roughly AED 7,500 in some free zones. Pricing varies significantly by free zone and included services, so compare options before committing.
How long does a UAE residency visa take?
A standard residency visa process often takes around 1 to 3 weeks once documents are ready, depending on the emirate, visa type and whether you apply from inside or outside the UAE. Express options may be available at extra cost.
Do visa costs differ if I apply from inside or outside the UAE?
Yes, they can. Applying from inside the UAE usually involves a status change fee, while applying from outside uses an entry permit route. Renewals are often slightly cheaper than new applications, and a cancellation plus new visa adds cancellation fees. The calculator reflects these differences with indicative ranges.
Is health insurance mandatory for a UAE visa?
Health insurance is mandatory for residency visas in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and is increasingly required across the UAE. Basic compliant plans may start from a few hundred dirhams per year, while broader cover costs more. Insurance is one of the extras you can include in the estimate.
What documents are usually required for a UAE visa?
Typically you need a passport copy with at least six months validity, passport photos, the entry permit or sponsorship documents, medical test results, Emirates ID application and, for family visas, attested marriage or birth certificates. Exact requirements depend on the visa type and emirate.
Does this calculator show final government prices?
No. It provides an indicative estimate only, based on typical ranges. Government fees change and vary by emirate and visa type, and service providers bundle different inclusions. A consultant review may be required for an exact quote.
Can Emirae.Pro connect me with visa support consultants?
Yes. After you see your estimate you can request quotes, and with your consent Emirae.Pro shares your request with verified UAE consultants who handle visa and PRO services, so you can compare offers before deciding.
