GDRFA Visa Services: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how companies manage residency visas, renewals, and cancellations for their employees in the United Arab Emirates.
This service allows companies to manage the legal residency status of their foreign employees within the country.
Who it's for
This service is intended for companies that sponsor foreign employees and need to manage their legal documentation.
What you get
Companies can use these services to process new residency visas, handle renewals for existing visas, and manage the cancellation of visas when an employee leaves the company.
What it costs you
There are several costs involved in this process, including the standard visa fees, the cost of required medical tests, and fees for processing Emirates IDs.
The catch to know
It is very important to monitor your timelines. If a visa is cancelled, you must ensure all subsequent steps are taken within the allowed grace period; staying past this period results in heavy daily fines.
How to apply
- Access the official government portal.
- Prepare the necessary employee documentation and medical results.
- Complete the application and pay the required AED fees online.
- Follow the instructions for any required physical appointments, such as medical tests.
