Can I renew the residency visa of my special needs son after he turns 18?<\/b><\/div>\n
As a general rule, a father is able to sponsor his son up to age 18 years, or up to age 21 if the son is in full-time education, whether in the UAE or abroad. While these are the stated and published rules, a special application can be made to the relevant department in the emirate where the family lives. In this particular case, inquiries should be made to the General Directory and Foreigner Affairs (GDFA) \u2013 Dubai (dnrd.ae\/en). The GDFA has issued public statements advising that it has set up a special committee to assess humanitarian cases, and I believe this case would come under its remit. While there are no guarantees, with the right proof of dependency A\u2009M should have a good case to apply for a standard two-year residency visa for his son.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
