🇦🇪 UAE tip

The UAE uses the Gregorian (Miladi) calendar for all visa, residency, and official documents.

Calculate your exact age in years, months, and days — useful for UAE visa applications, Emirates ID renewals, insurance forms, and medical documents.

Why age matters in the UAE

Age appears on many UAE documents and determines eligibility for dependent visas (children under 18), senior citizen programmes, and mandatory retirement at 60 (public sector) or 65 (private sector). Accurate age calculation matters for official forms.

UAE visa age requirements

Children can be sponsored as dependants until age 18 (sons) or until marriage (daughters). Male children over 18 must obtain their own employment or student visa. Female dependants can remain on a parent's visa until they marry or find employment.

Retirement age in UAE

For UAE nationals in the public sector, the standard retirement age is 60, with the option to continue until 65. For private sector expats, there is no mandatory retirement age, but many employment contracts and insurance policies reference age 65.
