Dubai-issued visas and residence
Check Dubai residency, family sponsorship, renewals and other GDRFA-regulated services through GDRFA Dubai. Certain services may also involve other authorities.
Other six emirates
For Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah-issued visa and residence services, check ICP Smart Services.
Emirates ID distinction
ICP provides Emirates ID services nationally, including for many Dubai residents. Selecting Dubai for immigration does not mean every supporting step is through GDRFA.
Check before submitting
Verify the visa file’s issuing emirate, the exact application type and the latest instructions on the official portal; wrong routing can cause delays.
