Tenancy contract for Residence Visa in Dubai

Hi Vyshak,

Many thanks for starting the blog on this serious issue, yes same i heard when few days back 1 of my friend went to apply for visa to immigration department they refuse to give him even TOKEN without showing the tenancy agreement luckily he already rented a place for his family in sharjah so next day he bring that agreement with him and got visa. T

The problem which i am facing is that i want to bring my wife and my wife uncle ( brother of his father ) is here. He is living with his family in dubai and i am living with them as they have 3 bed room apartment and my wife & i can easily share that room. But now after this rule how can i get visa in this case ?? i have to spend money to take my own flat which will be in sharjah coz i cannot afford in dubai, i am working in dubai living very near to my office so now i have to move sharjah .. hell i dunno what to do how can i get visa for my wife .. a BIg question mark ....

I hope there will be some option .. i wish ...

@ Hazard

its depends on how lucky you are. i heard its not a usual thing that they will ask for tenancy. Once if we show the tenancy contract it will be for 1 time.

A visa is for 2 years and tenancy contract might be for 1 year or less. I am not getting the fact of giving 1 year tenancy contract for two year visa.

So what once if tenancy contract expires after one year?

DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?

Everyone says "NO"

So your options are

1. Ask some of your bachelor friends / distant relatives having their own visa who is planning for a new flat to take same on your name.

2. Take a flat on your name and rent same flat for another tenant.Ask some agents whether they can help u in this.(Best Option)

These are legal ways i think. So many peoples are doing like this.

Hi Vyshak,

Thanks for the response, Yes you are right makes no sense anyways 1 of my friend also told me that if i can arrange salary certificate of around 8000 AED than he can arrange so lets see.

Also what if i rent a flat for SHORT TERM i mean for a month or 2 than does it goes with proper agreement and if yes than does it applicable for resident visa  ??

More question for you my friend, but i hope this discussion will help others like me who stuck in these rules and formalities.

Waiting to hear from you and other experienced readers.

HI again,

The rule also said that you have to provide tenancy agreement on your own name for resident visa OR you can submit same agreement of any of your close relative with NOC. So Now the question is what will be the criteria to that CLOSE RELATIVE.. ??

Hi Vyshak,

I AM STAYING IN DUBAI AND I HAVE ALREADY MY WIFE VISA. BUT RECENTLY MY WIFE IS IN INDIA BECAUSE OF DELIVERY , SO AFTER TWO MONTHS SHE WILL BE HERE WITH CHILD , SO IF I WANT TO ISSUE VISA FOR MY CHILD WILL DNRD ASK FOR TENANCY CONTRACT? AS RIGHT NOW I AM STAYING IN FAMILY SHARING ACCOMODATION, IS THIS RULE APPLICABLE FOR NEW APPLICATION ONLY? AS DURING MY WIFE VISA THEY DIDN'T ASK TENANCY CONTRACT , BUT FOR MY CHILD WILL THEY ASK TENANCY CONTRACT AS IT'S NEW APPLICATION ACCORDING TO NEW RECENT RULE OR THEY WILLL CONSIDER AS PER OLD RULE .CAN U PLEASE CLARIFY THIS QUERY URGENTLY,

Hi Rajivmankad,


I dont think that you require tenancy agreement again, yes but make sure that you have birth certificate of your child with attestation from foreign affair and UAE embassy of you country. after that you can apply same process which you did for you wife here in dubai.

Thanks,

Ali

Today i went to apply for the Visa of my wife. Prepared application and all because i was not aware of the rules. When i went to apply , they have asked to bring the tenancy contract and Water and electricity bill as well. I am living in a shared accommodation with my friend, from where i will bring it... Helpless ...Stuck here and also i am newly married .....any suggestion??

Dear Friends,

You should obtain a tenancy contract and the dewa/sewa/fewa bills along with your marriage certificate attested.

before there were some real estate agents providing tenancy contract for cash in sharjah. But now the authorities are very strict on the procedures.

What you can do is arrange some cash and take an apartment on your name for the visa processing. After that give the flat to third party for leasing.

In Al Nadhda u will get studio/1 bhk which will be hot properties for AED 22000/24000 per month.

Give the same for rent to a third party for 2000 aed per month.

22000 per month?

Can you suggest me where is the nearest immigration in deira dubai? the immigration which is not so strict compared to others..thankyou and good day!

Is there any new rule for visit visa again,?

Hi! is there a new rule regarding husband visa? pls explain to me right away! tnx

Is it possible to use a  house contract in Ajman to apply for spouse residency visa in Sharjah?

post.email! I believe that you can use the tenancy contract of any other emirates! because I've personally seen people working in Dubai and sponsoring their parents/spouse on tenancy contracts of Sharjah/Ajman!

James, thanks for the info.

Welcome!

This is certainly strange. but true has it is now confirmed that tenancy contract in order for the visa to the issue. It is always strange as to how DNRD comes up with such new regulation and complicate the visa rule further. I just hope that they put down this decision of there and simplify and streamline the visa process

I am waiting for answer from anyone for my above query. Also is it possible to bring my wife on tourist visa and then apply for family visa. After getting family visa does she need to fly back and come in again?

Thanks

Hi All

I am new to Dubai , I got my residency visa done. Now I am planning to apply for family visa for my wife and kid.

I have the following documents along with passport xerox copies of my wife and kid.

1. Attested marriage certificate. (both embassy and external ministry)
2. Attested Birth Certificate of my son.
3. My attested degree certificate .
4. Labour contract.

Now I waould like to apply for Family visa but i thought of taking house on rent once I finalize the school for my son based on his admission.

Issue is can I apply for family visa without tenancy contract. My Salary is around 24k /month inclusive if HRA 10k.

Is this tenancy contract required for particular range or is there any option through which we can apply for family visa.

Appreciate your help to solve my problem.

Thanks
