Frequently asked questions
Does the calculator include the Amer or typing centre charge?
No. It adds up only the government fees published by GDRFA and ICP. Each centre adds its own service charge, which is not regulated by a published tariff.
What is the in-country fee?
GDRFA charges AED 500 when the applicant is already inside the UAE (for example, changing status instead of entering on a new entry permit).
Why does the residence visa cost more for 3 years?
GDRFA adds AED 100 for each year above two years of validity.
Does the total include the medical test and Emirates ID?
No. Add the medical fitness test (from AED 250 to 270 for the standard service) and the Emirates ID (AED 100 per year of residence plus AED 100 smart service fee) if you need them. Choose "Emirates ID" in the calculator to add it up.
