The services will allow users to obtain residency visas easily and without having to visit service centres.
Smart Dubai collaborated with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai (GDRFA-Dubai) to launch the services.
The DubaiNow application already offers users a host of residency services: Applying for, renewing, or cancelling residency sponsorship for a spouse and children; viewing dependents’ residency visas and entry permits; tracking the status of visa applications and entry permits for residents and visitors; and requesting official travel and dependent reports from the GDRFA.
DubaiNow gives users access to more than 130 government and private sector services from over 30 entities (28 government departments and eight non-government institutions). These services can be classified into 12 categories: Bills, mobile, driving, housing, residency, health, education, police, travel, Islam, donations and general.
