What passport is your wife travelling on?

Being as you are asking for help, I shall assume that you were not offering a sarcastic response to my question!

It will depend on WHAT COUNTRIES passport your wife will be travelling on as to what are the requirements for a visa!!

I assume that she is not travelling on a European, American, SA etc, or you would know that she could obtain a visit visa on arriavl.

Good Luck

To be honest I wasn't aware there were any other types of passports than a 'travelling one'!


Could you wife and daughter not come on a visitors visa.... and stay until the paperwork is completed, this should be done during the time frame. surely??

Hey hamad, what department is that number for?

That number is for the Dubai Naturalization and Residency Department (also known as immigration)

To answer OP questions:

If the company is professional enough, the fastest would be only 4-5 working days time to process a residence visa (including medical check+visa stamp). My employer had done several times for my project team, even includes DIC process.

It's common (in a negative way) in Dubai that the companies tend to postpone the visa process until the last day of the visit visa expiration of 60 days (or even after numerous extensions... say hello to Kish island).

Residence visa for family can only be sponsored by the resident/employee (you).

It's possible to arrange visit visa sponsored by some "service companies". My employer did it for my family when coming the same time with me. But I believe you need to pay extra cash for this visit visa and visa transfer to residence visa (once you get yours), and it doesn't come cheap (thousands of Dirhams). Don't ask me the details on how/where of these service companies, because it was arranged by my employer. I know nothing.

I understand that you're just being homesick (that's why you're just being sensitive). Don't worry, we all have been there. Just hang on, ask your employer, hopefully they can process fast. After all, I've PM'd you about a local Indonesian community which might help you.

I assume as any other countries, UK has too other types of passport than general/travel/personal such as diplomatic one. So it's the question which was not exactly clear.

thank you so much for everybody help. I really appreciated it and for The Major your apology is accepted
xty is right my homesickness and my longing for my family is really stressing me out, and my company hasn’t been that too much help either. Hopefully my family can come before September..
thank you again for everybody and again I apologize for my offensiveness
