UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity & Citizenship (ICA), announced the implementation of VISA reforms
The UAE government has recently introduced new updates to
the identity, citizenship, customs, and Port
Security UAE system. This includes the possibility of extending visitor
visas for relatives and friends of UAE residents, as well as the validity of
pre-entry visas and the issuance of visas for family groups visiting the
country for tourism or medical purposes.
Citizens of Gulf countries registered in the system without
an Emirates ID can also now cancel and change VISA information.
For those who need to apply for a visa, they must submit
photocopies of their passports, passport-size pictures, a confirmed roundtrip
flight ticket, proof of accommodation, proof of travel medical insurance for
UAE, a letter stating the purposes and duration of the visit, and possibly
additional documents such as proof of financial status, proof of current
address, and a marriage certificate. Citizens of certain countries can also
enter the UAE without a visa for short stays.
