(Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask)

I'm looking at moving from UK to Dubai in a couple months, along with my wife and child (all UK citizens). I'll be applying for the digital worker 1-year visa, and I guess sponsoring them once I arrive. My question is this: Can Emirates issue a 90 day visitor visa for my wife and child?

All the UAE documentation seems to suggest they get an automatic 30 day visa on arrival, but given we are relocating I expect we will need a bit more than 30 days to get their family visas sorted (especially since we are looking to fly out early March, so right before Ramadan). I'd rather we got the 90 day visa up front than worry about renewing the 30 day visa in Dubai. Unless it's super easy to renew and won't have issues with delays during Ramadan?
