You will now have to pay an additional AED 100 when seeking services such as applying for an Emirates ID, residence visa, or uae visit visa through the official e-services platform https://smartservices.icp.gov.ae.
This article discusses what you should understand about this UAE increased visa service fee and 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:
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.
It’s been amazing journey collecting, organizing & publishing UAE travel related information. We often hear our guests says it was some thing useful when I found Arabiers, that give me motivation to sit hours & hours with subject experts to extract right information that are useful but updated. I would love to write some thing that useful for any travelers, Recidents & locals, we at Arabiers trying our level best provide right information & aiming at updating our information page as much as we can, looking forward your feedback.
