What documents do I need for a UAE family visa?

To apply for a family visa in the UAE, you typically need your passport, a recent passport-sized photo, your residence visa, and proof of relationship documents (like marriage or birth certificates). As someone who went through this process last year, I found it helpful to have everything organized and translated into Arabic where necessary. It’s essential to ensure that all documents are attested if they are from outside the UAE. Pro tip: Check with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) for specific requirements.
