Dubai residents can now apply for family visas in installments using Tabby or Tamara BNPL services. This flexible payment option allows expats to sponsor their dependents without paying the full amount upfront.
Harf Typing and Documents Clearing now offers Dubai family visa BNPL services, making the process simple, fast, and fully online.
This means you no longer need to pay the full amount upfront. Instead, you can split your Dubai family visa cost into 4 easy monthly installments, making it more manageable and accessible for all UAE residents.
What Is BNPL for Dubai Family Visa?
Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) allows applicants to split visa payments into 4 easy installments. Instead of paying the full visa fee, you only pay the first installment, and the remaining amount is automatically scheduled monthly.
Tabby and Tamara are the two most popular BNPL platforms in the UAE and wider GCC region. Both platforms are trusted, widely used, and regulated, allowing consumers to split payments into 4 installments without needing a credit card.
Harf Typing has now integrated Tabby and Tamara payment links directly into their Dubai visa service, making it one of the very first typing centers in Dubai to offer this facility for family visa processing.

BNPL Payment Example (Dubai Spouse Visa)
It is important to note that using Tabby or Tamara for your visa payment includes an 8% payment gateway charge. This fee is imposed by the BNPL payment platforms and is added on top of the visa fees. This is a standard industry charge for BNPL payment processing.
If the total visa fee is AED 1,800, the installment breakdown will be:
Visa Payment Breakdown:
- Visa Fees: AED 1,800.00
- Tabby/Tamara Payment Gateway Fee (8%): AED 144.00
- Total Fee Including Gateway Fee: AED 1,944.00
4 Installments Plan:
- Monthly Installment: AED 486.00
Note: An 8% extra charge is applied for BNPL payments as a payment gateway fee.
So for a spouse visa costing AED 1,800, you would pay just AED 486 per month for 4 months instead of AED 1,800 upfront. This is a very manageable amount for most UAE residents.
Dubai Family Visa Cost (2026 Update)
- Spouse visa (outside UAE): AED 1,800
- Spouse visa (inside UAE): Around AED 3,100
The Dubai spouse visa cost starts from AED 1,800 for a 2-year residence visa. This applies when the spouse is currently outside the UAE and has no visa status complications.
If your spouse is currently inside the UAE on a visit visa or on a cancelled visa, the process involves an in-country status change or new entry, which increases the total cost to approximately AED 3,100.
- Family (wife + child outside UAE): Around AED 3,000
If you are sponsoring a family of two — a wife and one child — and both are currently outside the UAE, the total 2-year family visa cost will be approximately AED 3,000. This includes visa fees, medical examination fees, Emirates ID fees, and typing center processing charges for both family members.
Important Note on Pricing
Visa costs in Dubai are subject to change based on government fee revisions and individual circumstances. Always request an up-to-date quotation from Harf Typing via WhatsApp before proceeding.
The cost of a Dubai family visa depends on several factors:
- Number of family members being sponsored

- Whether they are on a visit visa, cancelled visa, or coming fresh from abroad
- Type of visa (2-year or 1-year)
