I'm an IT professional presently working on the salary structure in Mumbai. Recently, I have received a job offer from Abu Dhabi. The package I am entitled to is 14,000 AED per month. I have a doubt regarding the family visa, as I haven't accepted the offer yet. The information I have received states that the minimum basic salary required for opting for a family visa after 3 months is at least 5,000 AED per month.
The basic salary provided to me is only 3,500 AED. Should I go ahead with this offer and plan for my family visa and their insurance, which I need to pay from my pocket?
I need your help in sorting this out.

Hi Maxme, No my friend, Not at all. Basic needs to be AED5000. Besides, also ask for family status and medical cover for family. Housing, medical are two most expensive in Abu Dhabi. Ukmitra

Hi Ukmitra, They say for sponsoring wife and children, one needs to have a total salary of AED 4,000 + tenancy contract. As per the present law, one cannot sponsor residence visas for parents.

Well, as per my resource, it's 5,000 or 6,000 + HRA. For a parent, I guess the salary must be more than 20,000. In both cases, you need to have a two-bedroom flat and a home contract approved by concerned authorities. Besides, for a family residence permit, it's possible, but the paperwork is just too much.
You know, this is precisely the reason I have so many employees wanting to work in Saudi Arabia. The rules are much more relaxed, and the cost of living is 3/4 times cheaper than in the UAE. (Abu Dhabi is the most expensive city to live in the Middle East).
