Ajman Family Visa Sponsorship
Sponsor your spouse, children, or parents on an Ajman family visa with full PRO support — entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, and residence stamping in 7-10 working days.
Description
Ajman Family Visa Sponsorship lets you bring your spouse, children, parents, or eligible dependents to live with you in the UAE under your residence visa. Family visas are sponsored by either an Ajman-based employer (employee visa holder) or an Ajman-based investor (investor visa holder). The dependent receives a 2-year UAE residence visa linked to the sponsor's status and renewable for as long as the sponsor maintains valid residence.
Eligibility depends on UAE immigration thresholds — typically a minimum monthly salary of AED 4,000 with employer-provided accommodation or AED 10,000 without accommodation, for spouse and children. Higher thresholds and additional approvals apply for parents sponsorship. Children under 18 are sponsored as dependents directly; sons over 18 require special permits or student visa transfer; daughters of any age can be sponsored if unmarried. Each family visa application requires attested marriage certificate, birth certificates, and the sponsor's salary certificate or trade license.
Octavon Global Advisory handles the complete family visa process — entry permit, in-country status change if applicable, medical fitness, Emirates ID biometrics, and final visa stamping. We also coordinate attestation of foreign marriage and birth certificates through MOFA and the relevant embassy. Most family visas complete in 7 to 10 working days per dependent once attested documents are ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sponsor my parents on an Ajman family visa?
Yes, but parents sponsorship requires a higher minimum salary (typically AED 20,000+ per month) and additional approvals. Both parents must usually be sponsored together, and a refundable deposit is required by UAE immigration.
What is the minimum salary to sponsor my family in Ajman?
The standard minimum salary is AED 4,000 per month with employer-provided accommodation, or AED 10,000 per month without accommodation. Higher thresholds apply for parents and stepchildren.
Can I sponsor my son after he turns 18?
Sons aged 18 and above cannot be sponsored as dependents on a standard family visa. Options include transferring to a student visa if studying, employment visa if working, or a special permit available in limited cases for unmarried sons.
How long does the Ajman family visa process take?
The complete process per dependent — entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, and stamping — typically takes 7 to 10 working days. Document attestation, if required from outside the UAE, can add 1 to 4 weeks.
Do I need to attest my marriage certificate for family visa?
Yes. Marriage certificates issued outside the UAE must be attested by your home country authorities, the UAE Embassy in that country, and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). We coordinate the full attestation chain.
Can I sponsor family while on an Ajman investor visa?
Yes. Investor visa holders from Ajman Free Zone, AMCFZ, ANCFZ, and Ajman Mainland can sponsor family members, subject to the same salary or trade license, accommodation, and document requirements as employment visa sponsors.
How long is the family visa valid?
Family visas are issued for 2 years and are renewable as long as the sponsor maintains valid UAE residence, meets the salary threshold, and continues to provide suitable accommodation.
