Expat residents of GCC countries can now apply for 30-day e-visa to enter UAE
The UAE Digital Government announced on Monday that GCC expatriate residents and their families can apply for a 30-day e-visa to enter the UAE and can extend their stay for an additional 30 days.
Previously, GCC residents were not allowed to extend their visas within the UAE. They were required to exit the country and apply for a new entry visa if needed.
The e-visa application can be processed online through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai or through the smart channels of the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP).
