Visa Transfer in UAE
Transferring a visa in the UAE is a common process when an employee changes jobs or when a resident switches sponsorship (e.g., from one family member to another). At Bait Alkarama, we streamline the visa transfer process with efficiency and accuracy. The process involves:
Obtain No Objection Certificate (NOC):
The current sponsor must provide a No Objection Certificate, allowing the transfer of sponsorship.
Submit Transfer Application:
The new sponsor applies for the visa transfer through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) or the relevant free zone authority.
Medical Fitness Test:
In most cases, a new medical fitness test is required to ensure the applicant meets health requirements.
Cancel Previous Visa:
The current visa must be officially canceled before the new visa can be issued.
Issue New Visa:
Once approved, the new visa is stamped on the passport, and the Emirates ID is updated with the new sponsor details.
Data Modification in UAE Visa
If there are changes in personal details such as name, nationality, or passport number, it’s crucial to update this information in your UAE visa. The process involves:
Gather Required Documents:
Prepare the updated passport, Emirates ID, and any official documents supporting the change (e.g., marriage certificate, new passport).
Submit Transfer Application:
Apply for data modification through the GDRFA website or app, or visit an authorized typing center..
Pay Fees:
Pay the applicable fees for processing the data modification.
Approval and Update:
Keeping your visa and Emirates ID details up to date is essential to avoid issues with legal compliance and access to services in the UAE.
