Those who wish to avail of it can log into the authority's official website (www.icp.gov.ae) or the UAEICP smart app.
Among the residence visa data that can be modified online are "personal information, profession, passport information, or nationality (in the event of obtaining a new nationality)", the report said.
Requirements, fees
To apply for the service, residents must submit the following documents:
- Coloured ID photo
