A newborn residence visa in the UAE is a mandatory residency permit issued to children born in the country to parents holding valid UAE residence visas. It grants the child lawful residency status and includes the issuance of an Emirates ID. The application must be completed within 120 days of birth to avoid daily fines and regulatory penalties.
The child’s sponsor — typically the father — is responsible for submitting the application. The process includes birth registration, passport issuance from the relevant embassy, residence visa stamping, and Emirates ID registration. It also requires coordination with healthcare authorities, the child’s embassy or consulate, and the appropriate UAE immigration authority (GDRFA or ICP).
Dar Alnukhba Customer Care Center provides comprehensive assistance to ensure accurate document preparation, timely submission, and proper processing through authorised government channels.

About 2-Year Investor Visa in Dubai
A 2-year investor visa in the UAE is an official residency permit issued to property owners whose real estate investment in Dubai is valued at AED 750,000 or more at the time of purchase. The visa is processed through the Dubai Land Department (Taskeen) and approved by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). It allows investors to reside legally in the UAE, access government services, and sponsor family members.
Parents – typically the father as sponsor – must apply for a newborn residence visa within 120 days of birth to avoid fines. The procedure includes registering the birth and obtaining a duly attested UAE birth certificate, issuing the child’s passport through the relevant embassy or consulate, and preparing all required documents such as the father’s Emirates ID, registered tenancy contract (Ejari), salary certificate, and valid health insurance. The visa and Emirates ID applications are submitted through authorised GDRFA or ICP channels. Applications can be processed via Dar Alnukhba Customer Care Center, a licensed AMER service provider, ensuring full compliance with UAE residency regulations, accurate documentation, and timely submission.
