New online service by DNRD aims to reduce visa scams
Visitors to Dubai can be relieved, as it is now the duty of the airlines using the emirates airports to verify the validity of entry permits before issuing any ticket.
On failing to verify the validity of the entry visa, the airliner will have to bear the deportation and return fee of the passenger, announced Maj. Gen. Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of the Residency and Foreigners Affairs Department.
As per the service launched on the Dubai Residency Department website portal, both airline companies and offices and individuals can enquire about any visa.
To avail the first-of-its-kind service in the region, an airline or individual will have to only key in few details for privacy grounds.
The service can be availed by logging in at http://www.ednrd.ae.
This link will help in inquiring the validity of entry permit, residence visa, e-DNRD application, e-form application and residence application status.
This move will help in curbing the visa scams, and will reduce any waste of time, money, effort and legal responsibility.
The new advanced online inquiry service is a part of the 168 e-services offered by the DNRD (Dubai Naturalization Residency Department). The department has processed a total of 9.297,725 e-transactions from January 209 to June 2010.
