The UAE introduces a new requirement: a copy of the passport cover is required for an entry permit

Recently, when applying for an entry permit to the United Arab Emirates, an additional condition has been introduced: it is now necessary to provide a copy of the foreign passport cover. This rule applies to all categories of entry permits and is mandatory for submitting documents.

Previously, the standard package included a copy of the passport, a photograph of the established format, confirmation of hotel reservation, and tickets to and from. Now, a new document has been added to this list — a scan or photograph of the outer side of the foreign passport. Without this, obtaining permission to enter is impossible.

This innovation is aimed at simplifying and speeding up the processing of applications, as well as minimizing errors and misunderstandings during data verification. Although no official explanation has been received from government structures yet, it is expected that this requirement will become a permanent part of the visa procedure.

We recommend that applicants prepare a full package of documents in advance, including a copy of the passport cover, to avoid delays or refusals in processing. The UAE remains one of the most popular destinations for tourists and business trips, so timely submission of correct documents is especially important.
