Introduction
In the UAE, the concept of sponsorship transfer is a critical process that allows residents and employees to legally switch sponsors, whether for employment or family reasons. With changing job opportunities, family arrangements, or business needs, transferring sponsorship ensures compliance with UAE’s immigration laws.
At Firdous Typing Services L.L.C, we simplify the sponsorship transfer process with precision, professionalism, and speed — allowing you to focus on what truly matters.
What is a Sponsorship Transfer?
A sponsorship transfer refers to the legal process of changing the sponsor of a UAE resident without canceling the current visa. It can apply to:
-
Employees switching jobs (employer-to-employer transfer)
-
Family members moving from one sponsor to another
-
Business ownership changes requiring visa responsibility shifts
The process is regulated by GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs) and MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation) depending on the visa type.
Who Can Apply for Sponsorship Transfer?
-
Employees moving to a new company
