As of 20 June 2011, all visa applicants must have an appointment to submit their visa application at the Consulate General. One appointment will be allocated per person, for example, if families of five are applying for visas, then 5 appointments must be made.

There are a limited number of daily appointments. You may book your appointments in advance.

An appointment may be scheduled through the website. Each applicant is required to provide the name as in the passport, the passport number, mobile phone number and e-mail address. Once the appointment time and date is confirmed a letter will be generated with an appointment reference number for each applicant.

The charge for this service is AED 50.00 (Fifty dirham) per application. Payment must be made via the secure payment on the website for an immediate appointment confirmation. In return you will be given a Visa Appointment and Receipt.

Arrive at the World Trade Centre no earlier than 30 minutes prior to your appointment time and present the confirmation receipt on Level 22 to the Security Guard
