Applying for a UAE visa involves official portals, Arabic forms, and rules that differ between emirates. A small mistake — a wrong passport number, a non-compliant photo, an expired document — can delay your application by weeks. Our visa typing service prepares your application correctly the first time and keeps you updated on WhatsApp at every step.

Official source: Always confirm the latest requirements on the official website: ICP icp.gov.ae · GDRFA Dubai gdrfad.gov.ae.

Who needs this service

  • New employees and residents applying for their first UAE residence visa
  • Sponsors applying for entry permits for family members
  • Residents renewing or cancelling a visa
  • Visitors changing status inside the UAE
  • Companies processing employee visas without an in-house PRO

Documents usually required

  • Passport copy (valid for at least 6 months)
  • Photo with white background (ICP specifications)
  • Sponsor documents (Emirates ID, visa, trade licence for company sponsorship)
  • Existing visa or entry permit details, if any
  • Supporting documents depending on visa type (contract, attested certificates, tenancy)

Step-by-step process

  1. Share your requirement and documents on WhatsApp.
  2. Receive your checklist plus estimated government and service fees.
  3. We type the application in the correct system (ICP or GDRFA Dubai).
  4. The application is reviewed and submitted.
  5. We follow the status and guide you on the next steps (medical, Emirates ID, stamping).

Government authority involved

Most emirates process residency through the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP). Dubai-sponsored visas are processed by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA Dubai). We submit to the correct authority based on where your visa file belongs.

Estimated timeline

Straightforward applications are often processed within a few working days after submission. Timelines depend on the authority's workload and any additional approvals your case needs, and they are never guaranteed.

Common mistakes

  • Photos that do not meet ICP specifications
  • Passport validity under six months
  • Applying through the wrong authority (ICP vs GDRFA Dubai)
  • Missing the status-change window after entry permit approval
Pricing note: Service fees are confirmed after reviewing your case. Government fees are separate and paid to the authority.

Frequently asked questions

What is visa typing?
Visa typing means preparing and submitting official visa applications through government systems such as ICP or GDRFA Dubai. A typing center completes the forms correctly on your behalf.
Which visas can you type?
We handle entry permits, new residence visas, renewals, cancellations, status change applications, and family sponsorship files for all emirates.
Do I need to visit your office?
In many cases, no. Most applications can be handled through WhatsApp by sharing clear copies of your documents. Some steps, like biometrics or medical tests, require your personal visit to government centers.
Can you guarantee approval?
No. Approval, rejection, and timelines are decided only by the government authority. Our job is to prepare a complete, error-free application that avoids unnecessary delays.
How much does visa typing cost?
Costs include government fees (paid to the authority) plus a typing/service fee. We confirm the full estimate after reviewing your case, before any work begins.
