Bring Your Family with Confidence

UAE residents can sponsor family members if they meet the income and housing requirements. Most residents need a monthly salary of at least AED 4,000, or AED 3,000 with accommodation provided; sponsoring parents has stricter requirements.

Family visas depend on getting the paperwork right: attested marriage and birth certificates, a registered tenancy contract and proof of income. We check your eligibility first, help you attest documents in time, and handle each application through medical and Emirates ID.

Vipul TibrewalMarketing Manager, PSP Marketing

I've worked with several financial firms, but TMFS stands out with their attention to detail and commitment to understanding my unique needs. Their professional team has guided me every step of the way, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I came to TMFS with a business idea and very little idea of how UAE setup worked. They recommended the right free zone for my activity, handled the licence paperwork, and had my company registered within a week. What impressed me most was the banking. They prepared my bank application alongside the licence, so my business account was opened soon after instead of dragging on for months. One team, one point of contact, and no surprises on cost.

Rahul MenonFounder, E-commerce Start-up

Keeping up with VAT and the new Corporate Tax rules was taking time away from running the business. TMFS took over our bookkeeping, registered us for Corporate Tax and now files our VAT returns every quarter, always ahead of the deadline. Their team explains what is due and why in plain language, and our accounts are finally clean and audit-ready. It is one less thing I have to worry about.

Sarah WhitfieldDirector, Trading Company

TMFS handled my investor visa and then my wife's and children's family visas, and the whole process was far smoother than I expected. They told us exactly which documents we needed, booked the medicals and Emirates ID appointments, and kept us updated at every step. When we later hired our first two employees, they processed those visas just as quickly. I'd trust them with any visa matter.
