UAE increases Emirates ID issuance fee

A typing centre agent says the hike applies to Emirates ID, and visit, residency visas.

The fees to issue Emirates ID and all types of visas in the UAE have gone up, travel and typing centre agents have said. A customer care agent at the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) confirmed that its fees have gone up by Dh100.

The fee increase applies to “all” ICP services, the agent added. It’s not immediately clear if the new fees apply to visas issued in Dubai.

A typing centre agent said the fee increase applies to Emirates ID and visit and residency visas.

Emirates ID will now cost Dh370 instead of Dh270, and the fee to issue a one-month visit visa is Dh370 instead of Dh270.
