E-visa application and issuance

UAE entry or in-country change of status

If you are not present in the UAE, you need to arrive in the country before your e-visa expires. Once you arrive in the UAE, your e-visa will be stamped at the airport, and this stamped copy of your e-visa needs to be shared with us. If you are present in the UAE, we will process a change of status for you. However, please note that depending on the specifics of your situation, you may be required to exit and re-enter the UAE, and this will be determined by the immigration authorities on a case-by-case basis.

Medical test

You will have our comprehensive assistance for completing the medical test procedure (blood test and chest x-ray) at an authorized medical centre.

Health insurance

A health insurance plan is mandatory for visa issuance in Dubai. We can arrange a basic health insurance cover for you.
