UAE Tourist Visa for Your Child Under 18
Living in the UAE while your child is back home? Bring them over on a Sharjah tourist visa — applied for by the mother or father, with 24/7 WhatsApp support.
Required documents
- Child's passport copy (clear scan, at least 6 months validity)
- Mother's or father's UAE residence visa copy — if the parent is not a UAE resident, a valid UAE tourist/visit visa copy is mandatory
- Child's birth certificate copy (showing the parents' names)
- Child's photo with a white background
- Passport copy of the mother or father applying
Only the mother or father can apply
Uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents or family friends cannot apply for the child, even if they live in the UAE.
Sharjah visa only
The Dubai system cannot process a child under 18 alone. Sharjah can.
Adult visa rate applies
The child is the main applicant, so the adult tourist visa rate is charged.

FAQs
I live in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Can I still apply for my child through Sharjah?
Yes. Parents living in any emirate — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Al Ain, Fujairah or Umm Al Quwain — can apply for their child's Sharjah tourist visa with EEC Travels.
Do I need to visit Sharjah immigration or your office in person?
No. Send the documents on WhatsApp and we handle the application online. Our office is in Al Zahia, Sharjah, but no visit is needed.
Can my child under 18 get a UAE tourist visa without me on the application?
Yes, through a Sharjah tourist visa. The Dubai system does not allow a child under 18 to be applied for alone. The adult tourist visa rate applies because the child is the main applicant.
I am not a UAE resident. Can I still apply for my child?
Yes. If the mother or father is in the UAE on a valid visit/tourist visa, we can apply using a copy of that visa. A valid visa copy is mandatory.
Can an uncle, aunt or grandparent apply for the child?
No. Only the mother or father can apply. Uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents and family friends cannot apply, even if they live in the UAE.
What documents are required?
Child's passport copy, the parent's UAE residence visa copy (or valid tourist visa copy if not a resident), the child's birth certificate, a white-background photo of the child, and the parent's passport copy.
Does EEC Travels issue the visa?
No. EEC Travels is a service provider that applies through official sponsors. The final decision is made by UAE authorities.
