Fees:
AED 300 for 3 years residence visa validity
AED 30 for application form
AED 20 - 30 for typing
AED 15 for Empost

Requirements for the Immigration Office:

1. Application Form (from Typing Center)
2. One (1) Passport size ID Photo (White background)
3. Passport of Newborn Baby - Original + Copy
4. Birth Certificate (Authenticated English & Arabic) - Copy
5. Health Insurance Policy - Original + Copy
6. Passport of the Sponsor - Copy
7. Work Contract (from UAE Ministry of Labour) - Original + Copy
8. Salary Certificate (Arabic) of the Sponsor - Original + Copy
9. Empost sticker (to be filled up)

NOTE: Your baby have 120 days (4 months) to apply for a residence visa from birth.

Procedure:

1. Prepare all necessary requirements as much as possible with original and copy (B/W or colored) to avoid delays. Many people would ask how to apply for a Health Insurance Policy, you need to know that your company should provide this one as per UAE law.

2. Go to any nearest typing centers that offers immigration services. Provide the following:

One (1) Passport size ID Photo
Birth Certificate (Authenticated English & Arabic) - Copy
Health Insurance Policy - Copy
Passport of the Sponsor - Copy
Work Contract (from UAE Ministry of Labour) - Copy
Salary Certificate (Arabic) of the Sponsor - Copy

The typist will ask other details such as newborn’s mother’s name, sponsor’s P.O. Box (usually the office’s), mobile number in the UAE, home country contact number, etc… Just supply it to them and wait.

3. When Arabic translation / typing is done, of course pay the fee.

4. Go to the Immigration Office (ADNRD) - in Abu Dhabi, it’s on Al Saada Street; open from 7AM - 10PM

If you have the Empost sticker already, go to the Residence Visa Section immediately, which is on the right side when you enter the premises of ADNRD (Abu Dhabi Naturalization & Residence Directorate). Get a queue number.

If you don’t have any Empost sticker, don’t panic. Go to the back area of the department or ask around for the photocopying area where they sell Empost sticker.

When your queue number is called. Loaded with the application form from the typing center, give it to the immigration officer / attendant with the Newborn’s passport & your original Work Contract (from UAE Ministry of Labour).

They will take the application and passport only and will return the original Work Contract and MOI & Empost receiving stub stickers (do not lose this one).

End of Immigration Office.

The WAIT:

A SMS message from “MOI” in Arabic… Let your friend translate it for you if the message is “on the process”.

Empost will give you a call, deliver the Newborn’s passport with residence visa stamp within their working hours, usually 2-4 days. Give your MOI & Empost receiving stub stickers.

You’re done.

Now this guide is made for Abu Dhabi, the major difference here is usually the Immigration Offices, most of the procedures would be the same except for the fact where you get your baby’s passport.

To all the avid readers who have supported me throughout the years and continue to read through my struggles and truimphs, you guys deserve better. So I’ll be trying out new things every now and then to make the site more lively. I’ll be making snips here, cuts there and hopefully be an eye pleaser.
