Can I sponsor my family being on a freelance visa?

Yes — a UAE freelance visa holder can sponsor family members (typically spouse and children) as long as you have a valid UAE residence visa and meet the family sponsorship conditions in your emirate (mainly housing + sponsor’s income/eligibility). In Dubai, GDRFA lists housing plus a salary of AED 4,000 or AED 3,000, and requires attested birth certificates and a certified marriage contract when applying for the dependent entry permit/residency steps.
