The UAE immigration authorities have announced an important update to the entry permit application process. Effective immediately, all new UAE entry permit applications must include a copy of the applicant’s external passport cover page.

  • Applies to all nationalities

  • Mandatory for all visa categories

  • Required for all new entry permit submissions

This new requirement is part of the UAE’s ongoing efforts to streamline visa processing and reduce the risk of document misuse or forgery. Whether you are travelling for business, leisure, or employment, it's essential to ensure your application includes this additional document to avoid delays or rejections.

As the UAE continues to be a leading destination for global talent and tourism, staying informed of immigration updates is crucial. We recommend regularly reviewing official guidelines and consulting with trusted visa specialists to ensure full compliance.
