Sponsorship Transfer

Changing sponsor has a strict order of steps. We keep them in sequence so nothing lapses in between.

A sponsorship transfer moves a residency file from one sponsor to another: between employers, from an employer to a family sponsor, or the other way around. The sequence matters – the old file has to be closed correctly before the new one can proceed, and the gap between them needs managing so no overstay accrues.

We coordinate both ends of the transfer, keep the two sponsors informed of what they each need to provide, and make sure the new residency is issued before the grace period runs out.

Documents Required

  • Original passport
  • Current visa and Emirates ID copy
  • Cancellation paper from the previous sponsor
  • New sponsor documents Trade licence and establishment card, or family sponsor papers.
  • New employment offer or proof of relationship

Eligibility & Requirements

  • Previous visa properly cancelled
  • New sponsor able to sponsor Quota, licence status and salary requirements as applicable.

How The Process Works

  1. Review both files

    We confirm the transfer is possible and list what each side must provide.

  2. Close the previous file

    Cancellation completed and confirmed.

  3. New application

    Entry permit or status change under the new sponsor.

  4. Residency issued

Important Notes

Watch the grace period between cancellation and the new application - that is where fines are usually incurred.
