What documents are needed for a family visa in UAE?

To apply for a family visa in the UAE, you typically need your passport, your residency visa, proof of relationship (like marriage or birth certificates), and a recent passport-sized photo. In my experience, having all documents attested and translated in advance can save you time at the GDRFA offices. Remember that the processing fee for a family visa starts around AED 1,000, depending on the number of family members included.
