Good Day!
I'd just like to ask for an alternative document for Affidavit of Support in UAE. Last 2020, you imposed a new policy for an additional requirement if an OFW wants to sponsor their immediate family in visiting UAE. It states that the sponsor should have at least 10,000AED salary to be given an Affidavit of Support.
Now, my mother's salary won't reach the required salary, and she's planning to sponsor her brother to visit her in UAE. Since she doesn't qualify to get an Affidavit of Support, what is the alternative document/requirement so her brother won't be offloaded?
