Documents required to Live in the UAE

There are several documents that are required for persons wanting to live in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These include:

  • Passport: A valid passport with at least six months remaining before expiry is required for entry into the UAE.
  • Visa: Depending on your nationality, you may need to apply for a visa before traveling to the UAE. There are different types of visas available, such as tourist visas, work visas, and residence visas.
  • Emirates ID: All residents in the UAE are required to have an Emirates ID, which serves as a form of identification and also enables residents to access government services and benefits.
  • Proof of residence: You may need to provide proof of a valid residence permit or tenancy contract, which shows that you have a place to live in the UAE.
  • Health certificate: A health certificate is required for certain types of visas, such as work or residence visas. This certificate must be obtained from a government-approved medical center in the UAE, and it will be valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
  • Additional documents: Depending on your specific circumstances, you may also need to provide additional documents such as an unabridged marriage certificate, unabridged birth certificate, or police clearance certificate.

It’s worth to mention that these requirements may change based on the type of visa you are applying for and the rules of the specific emirate you are planning to live in. It is advisable to check with the UAE embassy in Pretoria or the relevant authorities in the UAE for the most up-to-date information.
