Hi! I am a GCC Resident. I need to go to Dubai twice this month. Once I exit on my first visit, do I have to get another visa or the first visa that I used is still valid? Thanks. ????
as per my knowledge “A single entry visa can only be used once. If a person enters Abu Dhabi, Dubai, or another entry port in the UAE with a visit visa, tourist visa, or transit visa, then after exiting the UAE they must apply for a new entry permit before visiting the country again.”
Thank you. But can I apply again for visa even the travel is within the same month?
I think you can apply again
Ok thank you. ????

Hi Sir,
I have a couple of queries. I’m a Filipino with Qatar Residency. I have a valid entry e-visa to Dubai which was issued before the current diplomatic issue arose. Will I still be allowed to enter UAE?
Secondly, because the Flydubai cancelled my flight, I opted to buy ticket via Oman to Abu Dhabi instead of Dubai. If my visa is still valid, will I be allowed entry to Abu Dhabi with my Dubai issued e-visa?
I hope you could give me valuable information. Thank you
Thanks for your queries. For question number 1 you have to contact help line of evisa. But question number 2 yes you can travel at any port.
Since your are a Filipino your evisa is valid according to my knowledge. The restrictions only for qataries. But check with helpline

Hi, I am just confused about the type of resident permits; what is difference between “gcc residents entry permit” and “gcc accompanied entry permit”
GCC residents entry permit is for expatriates who where entering to UAE by them self. gcc accompanied means the person who is going along with the GCC citizen. Maybe he is his driver, nurse, housemaid etc.,
Hi, I am currently holding a UAE resident/ work permit which belongs to free zone, so if I want to apply dependent visa for my wife then it will be GCC resident entry permit or GCC accompanied entry permit ?

Hello,
actually some thing is still confusing , which is “Accompanied Information”, my question is
1 – if we have to apply separately then why should i add my dependent in “Accompanied Information” or is there any extra advantage in terms of acceleration of visa process.
I have two daughters and a wife.
Kindly clear my understanding please.
Regards,
When you add your family members their Visa processing will be fast and they will get along with you
once again thanks for your prompt reply.
No mention bro.
If there is any delays or problems you can requests them by showing your visa
one more question , what should we select in sponsor type, as i am working Company in Saudi Arabia, so shall i select GCC resident or establishment ??
SELECT GCC RESIDENT SIR
Thanks boss, my one question is pending with you please also reply to proceed for visa
but in GCC resident showing the nationality, name and others while if i select establishment for me (my visa) its showing sponsor name (My company name) and Company address.
I think for me , i should select establishment and for family i have to select GCC Resident.
kindly advice
Maybe Establishment is for those who owning a company. Apply as Gcc resident if any problem they rejected they will pay back our payment.
thanks once again for your reply
I am a GCC resident. By mistake, I entered the wrong gender for my wife when applying for visa. Her visa is approved. Will it cause a problem at the border?
Hi try to check with the customer care..before going to the border.
I would like to ask about the Passport validity, it says here should be 6 month valid from date of your travel? but when you click this link https://www.gdrfa.ae/GCCIND/gccLogin.do?userAction=switchToEnglish which is state above. it says here 3months valid passport? i would like to ask which one here is the right one? 3 months or 6 months. Im currently working here in riyadh and plan to visit dubai this dec 22, 2017 but my passport expiring on may 20, 2018 so if you count down 6 month less it will be dec 20, 2017 while my travel date is dec 22-25 2017. i will appreciate for your response
Thank you
Hi there are some changes recently done by gdrfa. It is a official website. If they say 3 months. Then that is enough. So if you have 3 month validity you can apply
As far as my interpretation, If you hold a residence permit, your passport must be valid for at least 3 months in order to travel into the country as well as admin can provide more better response then me as he is best guider for all legal issues of UAE.
Hi
Thanks for your kind words.this website is created for sharing the useful information to the users. you can also share some information or articles using user posts corner.

Last question about 1 child and infant how to apply there visa ?? Whatbto write in profesion etc
as per my experience you can choose any port and travel or enter in any port.(please kindly check the officials using chat options).size is not a big concern but the file should be clear to view.for your family you are the sponsor. so you can upload your documents. child you have to apply VISA separately.
My travel itinerary is from Saudi to Dubai,spend a week and visit Kenya.After which I would return to Dubai to board a flight back to Saudi same day.Can I apply for a single entry UAE visa?
Note:I would be using a Ethiopian airlines back to Dubai and Saudi air back to Saudi arabia
Yes you can apply single entry visa. While return back if you are not going outside of Dubai airport. Just you are transits to saudi no need of visa.
I would need to reclaim my bag from Ethiopian airlines before heading to check into Saudia airlines.Would I be able to do these with my single entry visa,considering that I would be entering Dubai a second time?
It is just a transits bro you can claim your baggage and move internally to saudia flight. If Both flights are in the same airport.
I have 2 queries
1] what should i select as my wife[Housewife]/kid’s profession?
2] Other than me, other family members still carrying my ex employers sponsored Visa ….will it it create problem?

Regards,
It is mandatory to take your Original Iqama with you in order to visit DUBAI.
I am Indian National and GCC resident(Saudi). I am trying to apply for UAE visit visa.
1) When I select sponsor type as establishment it is asking for 2 sponsor addresses. But our sponsor company has only one address. Shall i give same address in both?
2) When I select sponsor type as ‘GCC resident’ also, it is asking for 2 addresses. Shall i give my Saudi & Indian Addresses?
My Sponsor is : Abdal Recruitment Company, Riyadh
Also my profession “General Systems Analyst” is not available. It has only “Systems analyst” can i select the same?
hi, thanks for your quires.
1. you can give your Saudi sponsor address and if you have any friend in UAE you can give their address also or you can give the hotel address where you are going to stay in UAE.
2.profession “General Systems Analyst” – try to check other ports of entry whether profession “General Systems Analyst” available in UAE VISA application portal. if not available then you can select. (dont worry if application is rejected for any case your money will be returned back automatically). but apply atleast 15-20 days before the date of travel.
Hi Sir,
Greetings to you.
I have a query. I work in Oman. My colleague of Sudani nationality need to take uae visa. He is travelling with another Omani colleague. So what type of visa is to be taken? Is it okay to take GCC Accompanied visa? Sudani colleague have a job status of technician.
better you can apply separate application for his VISA. I think there is no big difference between them.
Hi, I got the email that visa request for my wife and daughter is approved. I did not receive the e-visa in email, but was able to take the print for the MOI portal. The issue is the airport it shows as Abudhabi International Airport, even though I have selected Dubai airport. Can someone let me know if they can still arrive at Dubai airport and complete the immigration process?
Thank you

i send reply about UAE VISA ONLINE to your e-mail is it useful ?
Hi, Really great work you have done for guiding people. Currently I am holding resident visa of Oman and planning for to visit Dubai but I am not clear for few points to fill online application, I will appreciate if you guide for this.I have work visa for Oman and my sponsor is my company and my wife and kid is on family visa these are also finally sponsored by my company So as the condition in online form says “GCC Citizen – Accompanies” application will not be approved for any family member or assistant categories if the sponsor is not travelling along with them.”So how I can apply? as my company is sponsor and how they can travel with me? Or for applying I should mention my company as my sponsor and for my family I should mention myself as sponsor? Second thing for me I should select establishment as sponsor and mention my company name? As I am employee with work visa so GCC resident can not be my sponsor as per my understanding. 3rd my resident card/Iqama is valid for more then 3 months at the time of applying visa but when I am planning for visit it will remain 2 and half months, So may I face any issue at airport due to less than 3 months validity?
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Dear sir, GCC Citizen – Accompanies option is not for us. it is only for the GCC citizen. you have to choose GCC resident. Your company is the sponsor for you.you are the sponsor for your family members. i am not sure about the 2.5 months problem. but i think when you received your entry VISA,you are eligible to enter.
Hi, If I fill form online I can not find my profession “Network Specialist” in list also no any other technical professions are listed so what should be selected here?
Regards
Dear sir, pls check other ports of entry,whether your profession is listed and apply through that port.
Hi thanks for your prompt response. So in my visa application I should select establishment and then sponsor my company name? for family I should mention me as sponsor but on passport of my wife and child sponsor name is my company name so no issue? How much charges will be deducted for each applicant?
i am GCC resident and travelling from Riyadh(KSA) to Dubai by road. In visa application what route i have to mention?

Hello, the online form on GDRFA site for GCC Residents visit visa, the Port of Entry drop down list of values for Emirate – now a days shows ONLY Dubai – no choices.(earlier few months ago it used to show all the Emirates). so if I want to apply for entry thru Abu Dhabi airport or Sharjah airport , how can I do it?
Dear Sir,
As per my experience , we can choose any port of entry. There is no problem.
Did you try the form recently? I opened the form yesterday and the LOV for Emirate is showing only one value ‘Dubai’…no other choices. If u are able to see names of all other Emirates in that list, could you pls share the link of the site you used? I will try with that link.
Recently they changed the list. but before i went by road by choosing port of entry Dubai. plz check with concern authorities.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your information above.
I have same questions. If I select Dubai Airport as a “Entry of Port” and travelling by car from Riyadh, will they allow me.
I was struck with this lack of info last one week.
As per my experience , we can choose any port of entry. There is no problem.
Thanks. I applied visa by choosing “Dubai Airport” and got visa within 4hours. I will update (3rd week of Jun) again if any problem while crossing the border of Saudi Arabia.
Thank you sir. your update will help many persons those who were travelling to Dubai.

Hi I am a GCC resident travelling from Dammam to Dubai via Abu Dhabi (ALGOUIFAT PORT border). Tried to apply through GDRFA.ae/GCC but the payment site is not working. Then I tried with ‘echannels.moi.gov.ae’. Applied together for myself and for wife on 9th June,2018 (Me as Primary Request). My request status shows as RECEIVED, but wife’s “RETURNED FOR CORRECTION” saying “Sponsor’s visa does not exist”. For family already attached Passport ( First & Last Pages and mine’s), Both Iqama, and family Photo. Still the remark shows “Sponsor’s visa does not exist”. I waiting for my VISA so I can attach the same visa for family’s request.
I applied with option of Establishment as the technical professions are available only with Establishment selection. Wife’s Sponsor given my name and the profession as HOUSEWIFE. Please let me know anyone’s has the same experience.
Thanks
if you recived your visa then attach that visa as sponsor visa
Admin,
Still didn’t receive visa and it’s over 8 days after application. Is there any option to cancel the visa application ?
thanks
It is usual some time it will take 2-3 weeks to issue a VISA. pls chat with Amir service about your issues or login to your account and try to cancel your VISA.
Admin, Thanks for your feedback.
I tried to cancel visa application as my plan to travel (during Eid holidays) failed since the VISA not ready. There is no option to cancel the application ( I contacted the authority) however once the visa issued we can cancel it. My doubt in case if we cancel the visa, is it refundable or not ?
Would appreciate for your feedback
once VISA issued then if you cancel the VISA, the money will not be refunded.
@sridar , u got visa
Dear Admin , When I choose Establishment on;y I am getting my profession and House wife . and child what we have to choose . pls guide me .thanks
now the application process is changed. so you can try to choose establishment and apply.
Hi…I am from KSA. My husband applied for UAE visiting visa on 25th July 18 for himself ,me and our daughter. His visa was processed immediately. We got a response on the other two applications just today. For mine they are asking to upload sponsored passport page 2,and for our kid they demand sponsored passport page 4. We are from India, the first page of Indian passport bears the colour photo and other personal datas, then only the last page of the passport bears other identification details. All other’s are blank pages for visa stamping. So I don’t get what do they mean by page 2 and 4. Which pages of my husbands’ passport are we to upload.Kindly respond.
hi,
just scan first and last page of your husband passport and upload it.you will get UAE Visa
