Salama Platform for UAE Residency Visa Renewal

The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in the UAE explained that the new platform, called "Salama," facilitates UAE residents completing their visa renewals within minutes.

It also added that residents can download the updated document directly from the platform, essentially eliminating paperwork.

The most important feature of the new digital platform is its artificial intelligence, which automatically recognizes the resident's details upon logging in. The platform immediately displays the status of their dependents' visas and highlights the days remaining before expiration.

Specifying Residence Renewal Duration

The platform also allows residents to specify the renewal duration, and the system will process the application immediately. The digital platform facilitates the renewal of residence visas for family members in just a few clicks.

What are the documents required to renew residency in the UAE?

It is worth noting that the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in the United Arab Emirates previously required certain documents to renew residency in the UAE, including the following:

A request for an electronic form from the Emirates Vision system via the Amer centers or the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs smartphone application.
A recent color personal photo with a white background for the sponsored person.
A copy of a passport valid for at least 6 months.
A medical fitness certificate approved by the competent authorities for those over 18 years of age.
A valid health insurance policy.
A receipt of the Emirates ID card.
A valid employment contract for employees.

It is also worth noting that the documents required to renew residency for residents in the UAE may vary based on the residency category, such as residency for family members or domestic workers. Therefore, it is recommended to check the specific requirements for each category on the official website of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in the relevant emirate.
