What documents are required to obtain family visas for employees in the UAE?

Typically required documents include a valid work or investor visa for the sponsor, proof of income, rental housing (Ejari or equivalent), marriage and birth certificates for children, passports, and photos. Requirements vary by emirate and free zone, but the general principle is to demonstrate a stable income and affordable housing.
