Typing centres across the country were stopped from processing Dubai visa applications due to repeated instances of documents going missing and filing wrong information, a top official has said.
"These would keep residents going back and forth to finish their transactions ... When you visit a typing centre, you would witness long queues in small spaces given to customers, improper customer service and price violations," said Major-General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, director-general of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs - Dubai (GDRFA - Dubai).
As of November 1, the GDRFA stopped all-visa related services across 261 typing centres in Dubai and 72 centres in Sharjah and Northern Emirates. Residents can avail of these services from two Amer centres in Al Muhaisna 4 and Dubai Municipality's Al Kifaf Centre; and over 45 Tas'heel centres across the UAE.
Maj-Gen Al Marri said Amer centres aim to provide a supervised system under which government services will be unified.
When Khaleej Times visited the Amer centre at Al Kifaf, surprisingly there were no long queues. Omar Sadik, a Dubai resident, said: "(Amer) provides quicker services, but more such centres need to open to make it easier and more accessible to people."
