The General Directorates of Residency and Foreign Affairs at the Ministry of Interior said it had completed its technical and services preparations to ensure a flexible implementation of the new visa and fees system across the naturalisation, residency and ports affairs sector.
The system will be effective August beginning, by virtue of the Ccbinet’s resolution number 22 for 2014, regarding the organisation and development of the services at the naturalisation, residency and ports affairs sector.
Lieutenant-General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, issued the ministerial decision, which amended the applicable regulations on foreigners’ entry and residence.
