Family Visa Holding

If you are planning a job change in Dubai or transferring your UAE employment visa from one sponsor to another while your family is under your sponsorship, there is no need to worry. We provide professional assistance for the Family Visa Holding service in Dubai, ensuring your family’s UAE residence visa remains secure during your transition period.

As per the regulations of the GDRFA Dubai, residents can hold their dependents’ visas for up to 60 days while completing their employment visa transfer or company change process. Instead of cancelling your spouse visa, children visa, or dependent visa, you can legally place them on hold until your new residence visa stamping is completed.

This service is highly beneficial for individuals undergoing:

  • Employment visa transfer in UAE

  • Company change or labour contract transfer

  • New job visa processing in Dubai

  • Residence visa renewal after job change

We handle the complete Family Visa Hold application process, including documentation, submission, approvals, and coordination with immigration authorities. Our experienced team ensures full compliance with UAE immigration laws, helping you avoid overstay fines, penalties, or visa cancellation issues.

Protect your family’s legal residency status in the UAE while you smoothly transition to your new employer.
