Q: How much will it cost for insurance policy and a visa and what are the procedures? I am on husband's visa. pLse help with your answers. to United Arab Emirates.

A: If your husband wishes to sponsor your parents on a visit visa, the application must be submitted personally at the NRD. The papers required are passport copies and an attested letter from the embassy proving the relationship. Also needed are: an attested work contract if he is working in a private company or a salary certificate if working in the government sector. The minimum salary requirements are the same: not less than Dh3,000 per month with accommodation or Dh4,000 per month without accommodation. A deposit of Dhs 1.000 per person is required. A 30 days visa costs Dhs 500 and a 90 days visa Dhs 1.000. A health insurance is mandatory and the costs will depend on which one your parents will chose. May be between Dhs 50 and Dhs 90 each. Take care.
