My husband is due to start work in Dubai mid Jan, but for my work reasons I'm unable to come with him straight away.

Do I need to go with him to get my spouse visa, or can I come say, a month later?
Are there rules around this?

Thanks!

Hi DeeDee,

As far as I know this is even easier. He arrives and arranges your visa when he is in Dubai. He brings the visa he arranged to Dubai airport and that will be present in the system for you at arrival. You have to pick this up at the left side before the escalator going to passport control.

See for resident visa requirements:
