Dubai’s General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) has launched ‘Salama,’ a new digital platform designed to make visa and residency services faster, easier, and more convenient. The initiative is part of Dubai’s commitment to digital transformation, ensuring that residents can complete essential government transactions with minimal effort.
Faster, Easier Visa Renewals
Gone are the days of long queues and paperwork. With ‘Salama,’ residents can renew or cancel their residency permits in just a few clicks. The platform allows users to manage their visa-related tasks through GDRFA’s smart channels using UAE Pass. The process is seamless, reducing wait times and improving efficiency.
Simple Steps to Use ‘Salama’
Residents can renew their visas in just three easy steps:
- Select the Visa Duration – Users choose the length of their residency renewal.
- Make the Payment – Payments are processed through secure digital channels.
- Receive the New Permit – The updated residency permit is sent directly via email.
Expanding Services for Businesses
Currently, ‘Salama’ is available for individuals, helping them manage their visas efficiently. However, GDRFA plans to extend its services to businesses in the future, allowing companies to handle employee visa renewals and cancellations through the same streamlined system.
Supporting Dubai’s Digital Vision
This initiative aligns with Dubai’s long-term digital transformation strategy, reinforcing the city’s status as a global leader in smart government services. By integrating technology into daily transactions, Dubai continues to enhance the experience for residents and businesses alike.
Available in Multiple Languages
To accommodate Dubai’s diverse population, ‘Salama’ supports over 40 languages, ensuring that users from different backgrounds can navigate the system effortlessly.
Dubai’s introduction of ‘Salama’ marks a significant step toward modernizing government services. With its ease of use and efficiency, residents can now complete essential visa-related tasks without unnecessary delays. As Dubai continues its journey toward a fully digital future, initiatives like these play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for everyone in the city.
