Residency Visa For Newborns

Service Overview

Welcoming a new member to the family is an exciting time, but it also comes with essential legal responsibilities. In the UAE, parents are required to complete the residency process for their newborn babies within a specific timeframe. At Amersmartuae, we provide an expedited service to ensure your baby’s documentation is processed accurately and on time, allowing you to focus on your family.

The "120-Day" Rule

In 2025, the UAE government strictly enforces a deadline for newborn residency:

  • Deadline:
    You have exactly 120 days from the date of the baby's birth to complete the passport issuance and residency visa process.
  • Overstay Fines:
    If the residency is not finalized within this 120-day window, a fine of AED 100 per day will be applied to the newborn.
  • Travel Restriction:
    The baby cannot travel out of the UAE until the residency process is fully completed.

Mandatory Documents Checklist

To initiate the application, the following documents are required:

  • Attested Birth Certificate:
    The original birth certificate issued by the UAE Ministry of Health (MOHAP), attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
  • Newborn’s Passport:
    A valid passport issued by the parents' home country/embassy.
  • Parents’ Documents:
    - Original Emirates IDs of both parents.
    - Passport and Visa copies of both parents.
    - Attested Marriage Certificate: Legally translated into Arabic
  • Sponsor's Documents:(Usually the Father)
    - Attested Employment Contract or Salary Certificate.
    - Registered Ejari (Tenancy Contract).
  • Digital Photo:
    High-resolution photo of the baby with a white background.

The Application Process

  • 1. Birth Certificate Attestation:
    We assist in the legal attestation of the UAE birth certificate through MOFA.
  • 2. File Opening:
    We open the sponsorship file for the newborn under the father’s (or mother’s) sponsorship via GDRFA/ICP.
  • 3. Emirates ID Typing:
    We process the application for the baby’s first Emirates ID. Note: Newborns do not require biometric (fingerprint) appointments.
  • 4. Health Insurance:
    We help you add the newborn to your health insurance policy (mandatory for residency).
  • 5. Digital Visa Issuance:
    The residency is electronically activated and linked to the baby's record and Emirates ID.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can the mother sponsor the newborn?
Yes, if the mother meets the 2025 salary requirements (typically AED 10,000+) and holds a professional visa category.

It is vital to apply for the passport immediately after birth. If you anticipate a delay, contact us early to see if a “Fine Waiver” or extension can be requested based on embassy delays.
