Alternative Location Open for Services

To ensure that customers can still get their work done, GDRFA Dubai has set up an alternative centre conveniently located behind Max Metro Station. So, if you need to visit in person, that’s where you should go.

Use Smart Services For Convenience

However, Instead of spending your time heading to a physical location, why not take advantage of GDRFA’s smart applications? They’re available 24/7, allowing you to complete transactions quickly and hassle-free from anywhere. If you need assistance, you can also call the toll-free Amer Call Center at 8005111 or check out the official website for more details.

What Is GDRFA & Why Is It Important?

For those unfamiliar, GDRFA is the government body that oversees residency regulations for foreign nationals and manages the entry and exit of international travellers in Dubai. This makes it a super important service for expats and frequent travellers in the UAE.
