Abu Dhabi: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has increased the fees to issue Emirates ID, resident visas, and visit visas, effective from Wednesday, January 18, local media reported.

A customer care agent at the UAE Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) has confirmed that, its services are now subject to a price increase of 100 Dirhams (Rs 2,216).

As per a report by Khaleej Times, the fee increase applies to “all” ICP services.

Here is the visa and Emirates ID costs

Emirates ID

  • Old price – 270 Dirhams (Rs 5,983)
  • New price – 370 Dirhams (Rs 8,200)

One-month visit visa

  • Old price – 270 Dirhams (Rs 5,983)
  • New price – 370 Dirhams (Rs 8,200)

This follows changes made to the visa system since the start of 2023, as the UAE suspended the option for visitor visa holders to extend their visas from within the country, and the new rule requires tourists to leave the country and return if they want to stay longer.
