Family move readiness checklist
Tick the household questions you have already answered. The list stays on this device unless you email a copy. It is not a sponsorship application or a school offer.
Use safe labels such as “child 1” or “partner”. Mark an item only when you have a written answer from the sponsor, school, insurer or official page.
Why these questions sit together
A family move fails in the gaps between systems. A sponsor’s income or housing evidence can affect dependant residence. A school place can decide the neighbourhood. Insurance ownership can sit with the employer for one adult and with the sponsor for everyone else. This checklist makes those dependencies visible without collecting identity documents.
UAE family sponsorship conditions, KHDA school evidence and Dubai health-insurance rules change. Open the official page or the school’s current fee sheet before you treat a tick as finished. A verbal “the company covers the family” is not enrolment.
What you should still not enter
Do not type passport numbers, Emirates IDs, birth-certificate references or medical diagnoses. If you email the result, we send only the item labels and whether you marked them done. Keep the real documents in your own secure folder.
Adult dependants often have medical-fitness steps. Civil documents may need a specific authentication route. Ask the current service for that route instead of buying a generic attestation bundle.
After the ticks
Give every open item an owner and a next date in your own notes. Read the family sponsorship guide and the schools guide. The Family Relocation Pack is the offline workbook when several people need the same plan.
This tool does not file a sponsorship, hold a school place or decide whether cover is adequate. Official answers stay with GDRFA or ICP, KHDA, the school and the insurer.
Official sources checked
