If the children are sponsored by the wife, it’s mandatory to attach a non-objection certificate (NOC) signed by the father or certified custody proof. This requirement is necessary to get a residence visa for the newborn in Dubai.
If any of the partner wants to invite their family, the documents are the same, except for the labor contract, which isn’t required.
