Get Dubai residency services without visiting service centre

Dubai: Dubai residents now have easy access on residency services on their smartphones through the Dubai Now app.

Residents can now apply for residency services for parents, grandparents and other relatives, in addition to the residency services for newborns, spouses and children.

Smart Dubai has launched the bundle of residency services on its flagship Dubai Now app, in collaboration with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai. The new additions expand the integrated network of services offered to users of the Dubai Now app to save their time and effort, reduce paper consumption in government transactions, and support Dubai’s efforts at comprehensive digital transformation. The residency services being introduced will allow users to obtain residency visas easily and without having to visit service centres.

He pointed out that GDRFA Dubai will continue working in cooperation with all government entities to provide all its services in a way that contributes to enhancing the quality of life, and to ensure the acceleration of Dubai’s transformation into the most prominent developed and smart city in the world.

According to GDRFA-Dubai, all transactions associated with these services can be easily completed from the application, which offers citizens and residents an all-in-one experience and a single tool for all dealings with Dubai government and several private sector partners.

“The UAE’s government has taken steps towards adopting the best global solutions and practices in all fields, and engaging all government entities in designing services and developing innovative digital solutions comes in line with the country’s digital future and in line with the government’s needs for smart services to provide the seamless and fastest customer journey,” added Maj Gen Al Marri.
