To streamline immigration for this diverse community, the UAE launched the e-channel services portal. The UAE thrives on a global workforce. In fact, expats make up a staggering 90% of the population!
The e-channel is a user-friendly online system designed by the Ministry of Interior (MOI) to simplify visa and residency applications.
Benefits of Using the e-Channel:

- Enhanced Efficiency: The e-channel streamlines the process, leading to faster processing times and fewer errors.
- Reduced Paperwork: Gone are the days of mountains of paperwork! Simply scan and upload the required documents.
- Improved User Experience: Manage all your visa and license needs (applications, upgrades, renewals) in one centralized location.
- Convenience: Check visa application statuses and print visa documentation anytime, anywhere.
