About Golden Family Visa
The Golden Family Visa allows UAE residents with 10-year investor or retirement visas to sponsor family members, including spouses, children, and stepchildren. My Startup Dubai simplifies the process, ensuring compliance with GDRFA regulations and minimizing application delays.
Benefits of the Golden Family Visa
- Keep Your Family Close: Sponsor loved ones with the 10-year Golden Visa.
- Long Stays Outside UAE: Families can stay away for up to 6 months without visa cancellation.
- Extended Residency: 10-year visa offers residency privileges without biennial renewals.
Common Reasons for Visa Refusals
To boost approval chances, avoid:
- Incomplete or unlegalized documents (e.g., missing MOFA attestation).
- Insufficient proof of relationship (e.g., missing parents’ names in consulate letter).
- Failure to meet financial support requirements.
- Non-compliance with age or marital status rules.
