Why SWLT

Why Ajman Residents Choose SWLT

The cheapest route is not always obvious. A family member on a visit visa can often change status inside the UAE, while someone abroad comes in on an entry permit with a 60-day clock. We pick the route that fits your timing.

1

Inside or Outside, Planned Properly

We compare the in-country status change, which carries an extra fee, with an entry permit from abroad, and tell you which saves time or money in your case.

2

Housing Proof That ICP Accepts

ICP asks for a water or electricity bill and an employment certificate showing income and housing. We check that the names and address on your Ajman documents line up before submission.

3

One Team, One Breakdown

Attestation, certified Arabic translation and the ICP application are priced on one sheet: government fees at actual cost + a small, transparent SWLT service fee.

How It Works

Your Ajman Family Visa, Step by Step

01

Free Eligibility Check

Tell us on WhatsApp who you want to sponsor, your salary and your housing. We check it against current ICP rules before you spend anything.

02

Your Exact Document List

Passports with at least 6 months validity, photos, marriage and birth certificates, salary certificate, housing proof and health insurance, tailored to your case.

03

Attestation of Foreign Documents

Documents issued abroad go through your country's foreign ministry, the UAE embassy there, then UAE MOFA. The UAE is not part of the Apostille Convention, so an apostille alone is not enough.

04

Certified Arabic Translation

Where an Arabic translation is required, for example the marriage certificate for a UAE birth registration, our MOJ-certified translators prepare it in-house.

05

Application Submitted and Followed Up

We prepare and submit the application through ICP Smart Services and follow it up. ICP's stated target is 2 days for issuance, not counting medical, Emirates ID or attestation time.

06

Medical Fitness and Emirates ID

Family members aged 18 and over take the medical fitness test at an approved centre in Ajman. We confirm the right centre for your file and track it with the Emirates ID application.

07

Residence Issued

Once the authority issues the residence, the Emirates ID follows by courier. Family who entered on an entry permit must complete residence within 60 days of entry, so we keep the timeline tight.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is the salary requirement lower in Ajman? +

No. No emirate-level difference in the income test was found: ICP applies AED 4,000 a month, or AED 3,000 plus employer-provided housing, in Ajman just as in the other ICP emirates. The test is the same for men and women.

My wife is in Ajman on a visit visa. Does she have to leave to get residence? +

Usually not. A family member already inside the UAE can change status without leaving, which carries an extra in-country fee. We check her current visa and submit the status change before it runs out.

Can I apply at an ICP centre in Ajman instead of online? +

Yes. ICP accepts applications through its Smart Services website, the UAEICP app and its Customer Happiness Centres. With SWLT you do not need either: we prepare and submit the file and you only attend the medical test and any biometrics.

What counts as housing proof for an Ajman family visa? +

ICP lists a water or electricity bill together with an employment certificate that shows your income and housing; an attested tenancy contract is also commonly used. The housing should suit the number of family members. We check your documents match before submission.

Can a woman sponsor her husband and children in Ajman? +

Yes. Male and female residents sponsor family on the same income test, including a husband. If the children are from a previous marriage, authorities typically ask for the father's no-objection or proof of custody, and we check what your file needs before submission.

Can I sponsor my parents in Ajman? +

Possibly, but there is no published standard rule. ICP's family category lists spouse and children only, so parent applications in Ajman are assessed case by case, while golden visa holders can sponsor parents. Be wary of fixed salary figures quoted online; we check your case with ICP before you commit.

Is an apostille enough for my marriage or birth certificate? +

No. The UAE is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so foreign documents still need the full chain: your country's foreign ministry, the UAE embassy there, then UAE MOFA. We coordinate the chain and add the certified Arabic translation where required.

How much does a family visa in Ajman cost through SWLT? +

Government fees at actual cost + a small, transparent SWLT service fee. You see the full breakdown before you pay. Totals depend on the family member, whether they are inside or outside the UAE, medical, Emirates ID and insurance, so we price your exact file instead of quoting a generic number.
