A comprehensive step-by-step instruction guide to setting up in the UAE, from applying for your residence visa and resident ID to renting a home and opening a bank account.
You need to get an Arabic and English UAE birth certificate for your newborn. You will need both documents to get a passport and residence visa for your baby. You must apply within 30 days of the birth. You can also apply for a birth certificate from your home country at the same time as you apply for a passport. You can use your UAE birth certificate to apply for a passport from your home country but it does help to have a country of origin birth certificate too to avoid any future confusion.
