Other Dubai Immigration service centres and branches will remain open during this period and have been equipped to offer all services which are available at the Head Office. It is expected these branch offices will operate extended timings to cope with the additional volumes of applications expected. An announcement circulated this week stated these branches will operate from 7.30am to 10.00pm during this period.

What This Means for Employers and Foreign Nationals

Employers and their foreign national employees submitting applications should plan for additional time in processing applications at one of the other Dubai Immigration branch offices. Branch offices are located in several key areas including the Al Manara Municipality centre, Arabian Centre and Deira. Dubai Immigration can also be contacted directly by calling 800 5111.
