UAE Increased Visa Service Fee & What We Know So Far

Even though ICP increased the service fee on all its services, it is important to note the services which are subject to increase in price are under the item ‘Smart Services and not all services because the below services are expected from the service fee increase:

1. Citizens services (passports, issuance, renewal, and replacement of an identity card for a citizen, family book services)
2. Services provided by ICP service centers

The increased fee imposed by ICP when accessing smart service is applicable even at the trying center because the centers are registered with ICP.

Therefore, to get all ICP smart service fees, such as residency visa, tourist visa, and Emirates ID, you will have to pay the increased fee of AED 100. The increased service fee is also applicable when paying the overstaying fines or obtaining a UAE visa from outside the country.

It is important to note that the price hike applies no matter where you are in UAE, whether in Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Sharjah, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, or Umm Al Quwain.
