Over the last two weeks, many Abu Dhabi family (dependent) visa applications have been returned for modification or rejected, affecting all nationalities. Most applicants faced the same common issues, especially related to tenancy contracts and document requirements.
Main Reason: Tenancy Contract (Ejari) Issue
As per Abu Dhabi family visa rules, the sponsor must meet these housing conditions:
- The sponsor must have an apartment or villa lease
- The tenancy contract must be issued by Abu Dhabi authorities
- The contract must be in the sponsor’s name
- It must be linked with the sponsor’s Emirates ID
If the tenancy contract is from another emirate, not properly registered, or not linked to the Emirates ID, the visa application is usually returned or rejected.
Second Common Reason: Arabic Translation Required
Many applications are also being returned due to missing Arabic translations, especially for:
- Marriage Certificate
- Birth Certificates (for children)
Abu Dhabi immigration often requests legal Arabic translations of these documents, even if English versions are available.
How to Avoid Rejection
To get 100% approval for your Abu Dhabi family visa:
- Ensure your tenancy contract is valid, Abu Dhabi–issued, and EID-linked
- Submit legal Arabic translations for required documents
- Double-check all uploaded documents before submission
