I arrived yesterday in Dubai for new job and started the process to get my Residence Permit issued. This is fully paid and organized by my sponsor but only for me. So I would have to cover dependant visa for wife and 4 kids myself, who will come over in 1 month.
I asked for a quote from my sponsor and she mentioned her cost would be 4000 AED per adult and 2500 AED per kid. On top of that, she charges 1000 AED / person for her fee. That means around 5200 US$ of initial visa cost. Sounds excessive expensive to me??? I checked the governement website and they mention fees of around 500 AED per person (including medical).
Anybody a good suggestion about agencies that might be able to facilitate and know the rules? I have just started a new job and would prefer to focus on that instead of spending hours finding out about visa details…. I don’t mind paying a fee to facilitate, but the basis cost should not be higher.
