Standard scan-review checks
- 1
A UAE family visa file is mostly about the marriage certificate, the birth certificates of dependent children, the sponsor identity and residence details, and Arabic translation. UAE MOFA is no longer a separate Dubai step. It is consolidated into the UAE Embassy attestation in India, so we do not have to chase a MOFA stamp after arrival in Dubai or Abu Dhabi any more.
- 2
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the northern emirates have small differences in what they expect at submission. We capture the emirate and the sponsor instructions at the start so the file matches the right counter. For example, Dubai usually issues an e-visa after legalised documents are submitted to the employer, while Abu Dhabi expects GAMCA medical and passport stamping at the UAE Embassy in India.
- 3
Dependent files need a careful check before they leave. Relationship proof, passport spelling against the certificates, certificate registration details on the Indian side, and whether the UAE office wants Arabic translation after attestation. Catching name mismatches early (with a Tehsildar-issued One and Same Certificate where needed) saves the family from a visa-side rejection later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required?
The exact list depends on the file. For a degree apostille, the original degree certificate is the core document, with transcripts / consolidated marksheets, passport copy, and the destination authority's checklist as supporting. For a birth certificate apostille, the original municipal-corporation-issued certificate plus identity proof. For a marriage certificate apostille, the original registered civil certificate (Sub-Registrar / Marriage Registrar issued, not just religious ceremony). SiZA Global reviews the specific file scans on WhatsApp and confirms the exact document set required before originals move.
How long does the process take?
End-to-end timelines depend on the issuing state, university verification, document type, destination country and translation requirement. MEA apostille itself takes 2 to 4 working days, or 24 hours on urgent processing if the next day is a working day. State HRD timings vary by state, for example Maharashtra takes 25 to 35 working days, Gujarat takes 10 to 30 working days, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh take 10 to 15 working days, and Kerala takes 20 to 30 working days. For non-Hague countries, embassy and MOFA steps are added separately.
Do originals need to be submitted?
Yes. HRD, SDM, Home Department, MEA apostille, and embassy attestation are all physical-stamping processes on the original document. A scan is enough for the initial review on WhatsApp; the original is then couriered to SiZA Global (or we arrange doorstep pickup in major Indian cities) for the authority steps. The original is returned by AWB-tracked courier after completion. NRIs whose originals are with family in India can coordinate the whole process remotely, the originals never leave India for the apostille step.
Can documents be reviewed on WhatsApp before submission?
Yes. Send a clear scan of the document (and the destination country, the receiving authority, and any deadline) to WhatsApp +91-9220161774. SiZA Global reviews the scan, identifies any condition or name-consistency issues, confirms the correct India-side steps (HRD / SDM / Home Department, MEA apostille or embassy attestation, translation if needed), and shares a written quote and realistic working-day timeline before any original moves. The scan review is free and there is no obligation at that stage.

“UAE employment visa for a skilled tradesperson requires degree or diploma attestation, GAMCA medical, and sometimes police clearance attestation. SiZA gave me a checklist specific to my trade category. They handled the attestation and flagged that my ITI certificate needed SDM authentication before MEA. No confusion at any stage.”
