DUBAI: Indian expats living in the UAE have been urged to register themselves with the Indian Embassy by filling out an official form available on its website from December 16. The website of the Indian consulate also provides a link to the registration form.
In a press interaction on Tuesday, Indian Consul General Anurag Bhushan said: “All Indians resident in UAE are advised to register themselves with the Indian Embassy or Indian Consulate by filling in the requested details on our online form which will help us build a comprehensive database of Indians in the UAE.”
Upon submission, a system-generated user ID and password will be sent to the individual’s email which can be used to edit the details as and when required.
A prelude to the online registration form, however, says: “It is pertinent to mention that the registration does not entail any special benefits but is primarily for building a comprehensive database of Indians working and residing in UAE which may prove to be valuable in improving services and rendering requisite assistance in situations arising from unforeseen contingencies.”
The form asks for very basic details like names of the individual, spouse and father/guardian, details of passport, visa and Emirates ID, in addition to sponsor information. Contact details of the individual both here in the UAE and back in India are also required.
