Stepchild’s residency permit in Dubai

In the event that a guy sponsors his stepchildren, their visas will only be good for a year.

Deposit: The sponsor must put up a Dh5,000 deposit for each child in order for the visa to be extended annually. The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs must receive payment of the deposit, which will be reimbursed upon cancellation of the visa.

Legal custody: The mother’s home country court, as well as the UAE Embassy and Foreign Ministry, must all agree on the issue of child custody. The woman must provide evidence that her ex spouse has granted her legal custody of the children.

NOC: The man who wants to sponsor his wife’s kid or children must submit to the department a letter from the children’s father stating that he has no objections to his child or children being sponsored by their stepfather, who resides in the UAE.

Attestation: The appropriate authority in the child’s native country must sign the letter in order for it to be valid and legally binding. Additionally, the UAE Embassy in the child’s nation as well as the foreign ministry must both authorize it.
The son or daughter must move to the UAE and be sponsored by their stepfather, and the father, child, or guardian must say in the letter that he has no objections to this.

The grandparents or other family members of the child must provide the no-objection letter in line with the law of their own nation if the child’s father has passed away and the mother has remarried. All documents must be valid, legitimate, and given the appropriate authorities’ approval.

The wife should get court-issued proof of custody and a letter of consent from the father of her children, his family, or their legal guardians if the ex-husband or members of their family are residing in the United Arab Emirates.
