Entry permit Dubai Modern Rules Of application

Entry-permit-Dubai

The individual or the company can apply the entry permit Dubai or the visa for UAE through the website of the federal authority for identity and citizenship-ICA or the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).

Whether you apply via ICA or the GDRFA the process is similar for the online application. The difference between the two departments is ICA only work for online application in another word it is eChannel for residency and citizenship. The GDRFA offers both online and offline channels for visa application, issuance of entry permit and renewal of the visa.

I have found many people confuse about the work permit and entry permit because both phrases look similar after ending in the permit. There are fundamental differences between work permit in Dubai and an entry permit in Dubai.

The entry permit is short term permission which issues from the ministry of immigration in the UAE to allow someone to enter UAE using the sea, sky, and land border of this country.

The work permit is issued by the ministry of the labor that allows individuals to work in this country it will renew along with their visa.

Anyone who is coming to Dubai or United Arab Emirate they do not get the full visa. The entry permit enables them to enter UAE airports, seaports or border checkpoints. The immigration officer will stamp the visa on your passport in the airport, seaports or land border office on your arrival.

There are two channels that you can to apply for an entry permit in Dubai or UAE. The process is straightforward you can track your application status online on the ICA or GDRFA websites. The offline channel also opened for inquiry of your visa status via a telephone call.
