Residence visa for a stepchild in Dubai UAE
If a man sponsors his stepchildren their residence visas will be valid only for single year.
The visa can be renewed annually and sponsor has to put up a Dh 5,000 deposit for each child. The deposit has to be paid at the Naturalisation and Residency Department and will be returned on cancellation of the visa.
Previous to applying visa for stepchildren, you need to first check at the department if the application will be approved as questions regarding guardianship of the children must be addressed and cleared. The application will first have to be approved by the director-general of the department.
Approval
The question of custody of children must be approved by the court in the mother's country and also by the UAE Embassy and Foreign Ministry in her home country. The mother must show proof that she has legal custody of her children from her former husband.
The man who wishes to sponsor his wife's son or daughter must submit to the department a no objection letter from the father of the children that he agrees that his son or daughter can be sponsored by their stepfather who lives in the UAE.
The letter must be approved and be legally binding and should be signed by the proper authority in the child's home country. It should also be approved by the UAE Embassy in the country of the child and also by the foreign ministry.
The father or the child or the guardian must state in the letter that he does not have any objection to the son or daughter shifting to the UAE and being sponsored by their stepfather. If the father of the child is dead and the mother remarried, the grandparents or relatives of the child must give the no-objection letter in accordance with the law in their own country. All documents must be official, legal and approved from the concerned authorities. If the former husband of the wife or his family members are living in the UAE, the wife should obtain proof of custody from the court and a no-objection letter from the father of her children or from his family or their legal guardians.

Certificate Attestation in Delhi
What if the bio dad has his rights terminated? or the mother has full sole custody, with permission to relocate, and father is granted no visitation at all because of domestic violence? Would you still need a no-objection letter.
