The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has updated its visa application requirements to include the passport’s external cover page for all entry permits. This new regulation has been implemented immediately by UAE authorities.
According to media reports, an official notice states that every entry permit application must now include a copy of the outer cover page of the applicant’s passport.
This directive has also been confirmed by a representative of Ameer Center.
Earlier, required documents included a copy of the applicant’s passport, a clear passport-sized photograph, confirmed hotel booking, and a return air ticket.
