Dubai: The Jebel Ali Free Zone officially launched its new e-gate card issuance facility under its single window services.
The Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) has partnered with the Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department, who in association with the Department of Civil Aviation will prepare and issue e-gate cards to Jafza tenants from its Jafza Immigration Service Centre on the spot.
The e-gate card is valid for immigration clearance at all the international airports in the UAE. Applicants can be either UAE citizens or expatriates holding valid residence visas.
The e-gate card will allow travellers to bypass long queues at the airport's immigration counter.
The facility also does not require travellers to get passports stamped when exiting or entering the country. It uses electronically operated fingerprint identification system.
