Independent guidance: We are not the UAE Government, GDRFA Dubai, ICP or an airline. We do not issue visas or guarantee approval.

Dubai Visa Process

Checked link directory

Useful Dubai visa and relocation links

Open the source that answers your question. This directory explains what each link is for so you can avoid the wrong authority, an airline route that does not fit the booking, or a commercial lookalike.

Safety check: never enter a passport number, Emirates ID or full application reference until you have checked the destination domain. Our links do not pass your personal information to the destination.

Start with UAE-wide guidance

Use these pages to identify the broad eligibility, visa type and application channel before opening a provider form.

Dubai applications and status

GDRFA Dubai publishes Dubai services and the application-status tracker. Check that the address ends in gdrfad.gov.ae before entering a reference.

Federal and other-emirate services

The UAE Government directs application and validity queries for the six emirates outside Dubai to ICP Smart Services.

Moving to and living in Dubai

Use the responsible government body for residence, employment, tenancy, utilities, health cover, schools, tax and driving rather than a relocation seller's summary.

Airline and traveller checks

Airline pages explain their own booking/application conditions. Traveller-government advice is passport-specific and should not be applied to everyone.

If a link has moved

Do not copy personal details into a replacement site found through an advert. Start again from the authority's main domain, use its site navigation, and tell us which link failed.
