Immigration advice in Dubai and the UAE

For individuals, families and employers: the right visa, the right documents and a clear plan when something goes wrong.

In short

UAE residence is tied to a sponsor or a qualifying category, such as employment, investment, property ownership or long-term golden and green visas. Problems usually arise at renewal, cancellation or when a fine, ban or labour dispute gets in the way.

We advise on the visa that fits your situation, prepare and check the documents, deal with cancellations, status changes and fines, support family sponsorship, and help employers keep their workforce compliant.

After a visa is cancelled

When a residence visa is cancelled, most holders have a grace period to leave the country or change status, and the length depends on the visa category. Overstaying after that period leads to daily fines, which have been unified at AED 50 per day for most visa types. Our guide on visa cancellation and the grace period explains the details and what to do if you are close to the deadline.

Attested documents

Degree certificates, marriage and birth certificates issued in India usually need attestation before they can be used for UAE visa and employment purposes. We tell you which chain of attestation applies and help with the documents.
