Can UAE residents travel internationally while their Emirates ID renewal is pending?
A reader wants to know if it is possible to travel with a valid visa but without a renewed Emirates ID.
Question: I've renewed my residence visa, but my Emirates ID renewal is still in progress. Can I still travel abroad?
Answer: Yes, as a UAE resident with a valid residency visa, you can travel outside the UAE. It's advisable to carry a copy of your Emirates ID renewal application form in case immigration asks for your ID card.
Additionally, you can show them the online status of your renewal application, which is provided by the UAE government.
