Good News for travellers to the United Kingdom, the Visas & Immigration division (UKVI) has simplified some of the Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) processes for customers applying for certain visas with a duration of more than 6 months as part of ongoing improvements to the customer journey.
Update On Biometric Residence Permit (BRP)
In an update posted on its official website, VFS Global, the official partner of the UK Embassy, stated that starting on October 10, 2022, Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) letters are now sent via email; physical letters are no longer be issued when you collect your visa from the Visa Application Centre (VAC).
VFS Global also advised customers to complete their visa application using their own personal, up-to-date email address, or one that they have easy access to. To receive this email, applicants may need to check their spam/junk folder.
If applicants used a third-party email address, such as a Travel Agent, as part of their original application, they must ensure that the third party shares the BRP letter with them. Please keep in mind that the BRP letter is provided at no cost.
However, customers must still obtain their BRP card once they arrive in the United Kingdom.
In some cases, customers may receive the digital BRP letter before being notified that their visa is ready for collection. Please keep in mind that if you have chosen in-person collection, you should not go to the Visa Application Centre (VAC) until you have been contacted by VFS.
If you paid for courier delivery, VFS Global will notify you once your passport has been delivered.
Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) And It’s Requirement
Foreign nationals who have been granted a visa or immigration permission to live, study, or work in the UK are given a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP), which is a legal document. Your BRP is a significant piece of documentation that shows your immigration status in the UK.
You will typically receive a BRP, if you apply to stay in the UK permanently, to extend your visa for a longer period of time than six months, or if you apply to come to the UK for a longer period of time than six months.
If you used the UK Immigration: ID Check app to verify your identity when you applied for your visa, you will not be eligible for a BRP.
If you used the app, you will instead be given a digital immigration status that can be checked and verified by others using the Home Office’s online service rather than receiving any physical documentation to prove your right to be in the UK.
Dubai Visit : If you want to visit Dubai, this post is for you! Traveling to and visiting Dubai is now easier than ever. In this post, I'll show why I say so. I'll cover everything you need to know about the Visit Visa for Dubai, also known as the Dubai visit Visa, including the different ways you can apply, the required documents for the Dubai visit visa, processing time, and costs of the visa.
A Dubai Tourist Visa (Dubai Visit Visa) is for foreign nationals who are not eligible for a visa on arrival for Dubai or visa-free entry to the United Arab Emirates. Females below 18 are not eligible to apply for this type of Visa unless they travel with their parents.
According to a Cabinet resolution passed in July 2018, children under 18 years accompanying adults can get a free visa to Dubai visit from 15 July to 15 September each year. A Dubai Tourist Visa is a short-term visa, which means that the Visa is only valid for a short period. If you stay longer than the date of issue (your visa's expiry date), you will get a fine.
I recommend contacting your nearest UAE Embassy if you're unsure about the Dubai visit Visa. There are several different types of Dubai visas that you can utilise. Each different type of Dubai visit visa can be applied for a specific purpose of visit or duration of stay. Some of the different visiting visas to Dubai for a stay are:
48-Hours Dubai visit Visa:
Travellers with a 48 hours stopover or layover in Dubai can apply for this visiting visa to Dubai.
96-Hours Dubai visit Visa:
Travelers with a 96 hours stopover or layover in Dubai can apply for this visiting visa to Dubai.
14-Day Single Entry Dubai visit Visa:
Travellers that wish to visit Dubai for a short trip can use this visa and you can stay in the country for a maximum of 14 days.
Short-Term Single Entry Dubai visit Visa:
This tourist visa allows the holder to enter and exit Dubai once and stay for the duration of the visa's validity period, which is 30 days.
Short-Term Multiple Entry Dubai visit Visa:
This tourist visa allows the holder to enter and exit Dubai multiple times during the validity of the visa, which is 30 days.
Long-Term Multiple Entry Dubai visit Visa:
This tourist visa allows the holder to enter and exit Dubai multiple times during the validity of the visa, which is 90 days.
With a single entry visa, you can only enter and exit the country once, whereas a multiple entry visa allows you to enter and exit the country more than once. These different types of visas have certain eligibility requirements. Be sure to check them before you apply.
The Dubai Visa (Dubai Visit Visa) requirements for US citizens are as follows:
American citizens who are valid passport holders don't need a visa to visit Dubai. However, please make sure you have the following:
Your original passport: should not expire within 6 months from the expected arrival time in the UAE.
Confirmed round-trip flight ticket or a flight ticket to another destination.
The visas are available upon arrival at the UAE airports (Visa On Arrival), and you can stay for 1 month in the UAE. However, if you will stay longer, you have to contact the immigration officer at the airport or the local immigration office in the UAE.

How to Apply for a Schengen Visa in UAE?
There are a few simple steps to follow when applying for a short-stay Schengen visa in the United Arab Emirates:
Check at which Embassy/Consulate you need to apply. In order to file your application at the right place, you will need to know which country should issue you a visa (if you are planning to visit more than one Schengen state). Then you need to check, what body of that particular country handles visa applications or whether it has outsourced visa submission to another party.
Schedule an appointment at the embassy/consulate/visa centre.
Attend the visa interview. Take all of the required documents with you, listed in the given order.
Wait for a response. In the meantime, the embassy will process your visa, which will go through EU security systems as Visa Information System and Schengen Information System.
The processing of your application may take up to 15 days. After that period, you will receive a response to your case. All applications are processed by the embassies only.
Where to Apply for a Schengen Visa in UAE
A Schengen visa allows its holder to visit 26 European countries. However, when it comes to where one should apply, the Schengen countries have very strict and clear rules. Many applicants fail to understand where they should apply, and, in the absence of information, they apply at the wrong embassy/consulate.
Before you decide at which EU embassy/consulate in Dubai or Abu Dhabi to submit your visa application for Europe, read the rules on “How to Choose the Right Embassy/Consulate/VAC to File a Schengen Visa Application“!
Please pay attention to these rules since it is very important to file your application at the right place. Lodging your application at the wrong authority, will result in the rejection of your Schengen Visa application.
In general, most of the Schengen states have their embassy located in Abu Dhabi and at least a consulate general in Dubai. In some cases, the embassy and the consulate(s) of the respective member state accept visa applications. In other cases, visa submission is outsourced to the embassy/consulate of another country or to companies that offer visa services.

Our guide to the best things to do in Dubai highlights the local and global sides to the so-called City of Gold. As the eponymous capital of one of the UAE’s 7 emirates, the city is known for its riches, its glitzy and innovative development and architecture, and its shopping scenes. But Dubai isn’t all about 5-star glam, though that’s likely to be a big part of any visit here.
From the tranquillity of the deserts to the hubbub of the souks, there is a huge range of things to see and do in Dubai. You can explore vast dunes, traditional villages and remarkable skyscrapers throughout your stay.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
1 Grand Mosque Admire the spiritual symbol of Dubai
The Grand Mosque in Bur Dubai features Dubai's tallest minaret that offers dizzying heights – it stands at an impressive 70 metres tall and boasts 45 small and 9 larger domes. Each dome sports beautiful stained-glass panels that glisten in the sun.
The Grand Mosque is one of the city's most recognisable landmarks, and the morning or early evening make for good times to walk around it to avoid the searing heat of the midday sun. Location: Ali Bin Abi Taleb Street, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Open: Saturday–Thursday from 9 am to 10 pm, Friday from 4.30 pm to 10 pm
2 Burj Khalifa Towering at an amazing 828 metres
No list of things to do in Dubai would be complete without a mention of the Burj Khalifa. Enjoy the exhilarating feeling of being on top of the world at the At The Top Burj Khalifa observation deck, located on the 124th floor of the world’s tallest tower and guaranteed to be a highlight of any visit to the Middle East.
Marvel at the dazzling lights of Dubai that lie below you at dusk. If you come by day, you can also bask in the sun on their funky outdoor terrace. The queue for the lift to the top can be quite long, but The Dubai Mall is at the base of the tower, so you can do some shopping while you wait for it to get shorter. Location: 1 Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Open: Daily from 8.30 am to 11 pm
3 Arabian Desert safari Cruise the sand with the wind in your hair
A trip into the Arabian Desert is a popular excursion for many visitors to Dubai. There are a whole host of tour companies that can take you out to either tear up the sand in a 4x4 – including exhilarating dune bashing – or explore it at a more leisurely pace atop an obliging camel.
There is also the possibility of spending a night in the desert at a private desert camp, where you’ll be treated to a barbecue feast, music, and belly dancing. But for perhaps the most magical start to a day in Dubai, head out on a desert safari in the morning. This also means you’ll have the rest of the day free for other exploring back in the city itself.
4 Dubai Museum The cultural and historical primer every visitor needs
Dubai Museum is where you can trace the history of Dubai – and that of the country at large. See recreated reed houses and a pearling-era souk among other interesting artefacts, while learning about the city's amazing transition from a backwater into an affluent modern city.
The Dubai Museum is set in the historical Al Fahidi Fort, the oldest remaining building in Dubai, and was constructed at the start of the 1970s – as the city’s breathtaking reinvention began to materialise – as a way of preserving the traditional way of life that had existed beforehand. Location: Al Fahidi Street, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Open: Saturday–Thursday from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm, Friday from 2.30 pm to 8.30 pm
5 Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood A feel for Dubai before the modern day
The Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood lets you stray away from your first thoughts about Dubai as an affluent oil-fuelled economy and vibrant tourism destination. Dubai’s emergence in its current, modern form is a relatively recent development.
Taking a stroll through the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, alongside the Dubai Creek, lets you gain another perspective on the heritage of this jewel of a middle-eastern city. Amid traditional-style houses and other buildings from before Dubai’s rapid modernisation in the 1970s, you’ll find art exhibitions, creative studios, museums, and more.
6 The Dubai Mall Shop 1,200 stores in one of the world's largest malls
The Dubai Mall offers a vast, modern experience in one of the world's largest malls with tons of family attractions, art and fashion, and even an entire aquarium. This mall boasts more than 1,200 retailers covering favourite brands like Topshop, famed international department store brands like Bloomingdales, and their Fashion Avenue section, where you'll find the latest haute couture. You can find all the upscale brands like Dior and Fendi.
For family fun, you can head for an indoor, Olympic-sized skating rink or head to the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo onsite to see exotic undersea life. Like every good mall, there's also a wealth of food court and sit down eatery options, all right in the city centre. Location: Financial Center Street, Along Sheikh Zayed Road, Next to Burj Khalifa - Dubai - United Arab Emirates
Open: Sunday–Wednesday from 10 am to midnight, Thursday–Saturday from 10 am to 1 am
7 Dubai Marina Visit an artificial canal city
Dubai Marina is a man-made canal city that was created in 2003 and offers stunning and impressive views along with plenty of walks and beaches. Lots of shops and restaurants are available along the marina, with some that are friendly for budget-conscious travellers.
Visiting this marina lets you explore a marvel of engineering that even the wildlife seems to appreciate. Despite the canal being artificial, whales are often seen in the water after entering from the open sea nearby. It's located south of the city centre along the coast.
8 Atlantis water parks Get wet or go home!
Three thrilling water-themed parks are based in the Atlantis resort for you and your family to experience. Aquaventure Waterpark – complete with zip lines, and slides through shark-infested lagoons – is the top water park in all the Middle East and Europe, with 42 acres of stimulating water activities to enjoy.
The Lost Chambers Aquarium alone has an astonishing 65,000 marine animals to look at. Also, not to be missed is the sensational Dolphin Bay, where you can interact with these beautiful creatures 1-on-1. Location: Atlantis The Palm, Crescent Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Open: Daily from 10 am to 6 pm
9 Palm Jumeirah Take a yacht out around islands that embody ultra-luxe Dubai
Take a tour by yacht around the iconic Palm Jumeirah, an artificial archipelago on the stunning coastal area of Dubai created using reclaimed land. Jumeirah is in the shape of a palm tree and, astoundingly, it’s as large as 800 football pitches.
Relax on a chartered yacht in the sunshine, and watch people go about their daily business along its coastline. Once you step back onto dry land again, take time to explore the sights of the area’s luxurious hotels, or go diving around the exotic artificial reef – impressively, it was created by purposely sinking two F-100 Super Sabre fighter jets.
10 Dubai Opera A slice of musical or theatrical culture
The downtown Dubai Opera is well worth a visit for culture enthusiasts spending time in the city. Even if opera isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Dubai (you’re not alone), Dubai Opera’s varied programme of performances can become a highlight of your visit.
Performances include not just pure opera but also ballet and classical music. There are also theatre productions, fashion shows, and comedy sketches, meaning there’s something to catch most nights, and many shows are family-friendly. Location: Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The expatriates who wish to work in Dubai need to apply for a Dubai work permit or a work visa to be legally employed in the emirate. A work permit (entry permit) is a document issued by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship that allows foreigners to enter and work in the UAE legally for a certain period of time.
The Dubai work visa (Residence visa) is issued to foreigners once they are already inside the country and have entered using the entry permit. When moving to the UAE, you will ultimately need to get a residence visa, on which your work permit will be listed.
Dubai work visa types
In Dubai, there is one type of work permit. This work permit is often referred to as a labour card. However, employees will need to obtain an entry visa, a residence visa, and an Emirate ID card before applying for a work permit.
However, under the new UAE visa rules, the UAE has recently introduced an entry permit for temporary work missions that allows visitors holding a temporary work assignment (such as probation testing or project-based mission sponsored by the employer) can apply for the entry permit for a temporary work mission. A visitor can apply for this entry permit if they are a relative or friend of a UAE citizen or resident.
Furthermore, the validity of all entry visas will now be available for single or multiple entries and will be valid for 60 days from their date of issuance. They can also be renewed for similar periods. Some of the requirements include:
a temporary work contract, or
a letter from the employer clarifying the visit purpose
proof of health and fitness to work.
Dubai work visa age limit & categories
Any foreigner over the age of 18 can choose to work in Dubai, provided they meet the following standards as set up by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE).
Based on their academic qualifications/skill sets, foreign workers are divided into three categories:
Category 1: Holding at least a bachelor’s degree
Category 2: Holding a post-secondary diploma in any field
Category 3: Holding a high school diploma.
Dubai work visa requirements
To obtain a work permit and Residence visa in Dubai, employees will need the following documents:
A valid passport and a photocopy
Passport photos
Copies of academic qualifications. (Your qualifications have to be authorized by the UAE Embassy or consulate in your country as well as from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country)
Copies of the applicant’s birth certificate (and marriage certificate if applicable).
An Emirates ID card
An entry permit from the Ministry of Labor
A medical certificate, issued by a government-approved health centre in the UAE.
Proof of accommodations in the UAE, such as a copy of a lease agreement
A copy of a company card from the employer
A copy of the company’s commercial license
Evidence that the applicant has sufficient financial means to support themselves in the UAE
Proof of payment of the application fee.
Dubai work visa validity
When the applicants first receive a work permit, it is valid for 30 days and can further be extended for 30 days. Thus, applicants can stay in Dubai for 60 days, during which their employer must arrange to get a Residence Visa, an Emirates ID, and their Labour Card.
It is the Residence Visa in addition to the Labour Card which allows travellers to live and work in the UAE legally. The Residence visa and the associated work permit usually last for one or two years, depending on your employment contract.
How to apply online for a Dubai work visa?
To start the necessary procedure to obtain your employment visa and work permit for Dubai, you need an employer willing to hire you. There are three stages in the process of obtaining a Dubai work visa:
Obtaining an entry visa for the UAE
To begin the process of obtaining an Employment Entry Visa (Pink visa/Residence visa), the employer will need to follow the procedure as follows:
Apply for visa quota approval on your behalf. The Ministry of Labour (MOL) will approve this.
Submit an employment contract to the MOL. You will be required to sign this contract.
The Ministry must approve the work permit application before issuing an employment entry visa. With the approval and visa secured, you will need to enter the UAE within two months.
Upon entering the UAE with a Pink visa, you will have a period of 60 days to obtain a residence visa and formal work permit.
Obtaining an Emirates ID
An Emirates ID is required for the medical screening. To apply for an ID, you need to provide your entry visa along with an original passport and a copy. Employees need to apply in person at the Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA) centre.
Obtaining a residence visa and work permit
To apply for a Residence visa, you will need all of the required documents, as mentioned above.
Once your company secures visa quota approval from the Ministry of Labour, you can sign your contract and return it to the employer. At this point, the employer can apply for a work permit on your behalf. The work permit will be listed as part of the Residency visa. On approval of the work permit, the employee is then allowed to begin working officially.
Receive the employment entry visa
The applicants will now receive an Employment Entry Visa (Pink visa) at the airport. It allows applicants to live in the UAE for two months while they finish their residency visa application.
Once you are in the UAE, you will need to undergo a medical screening and attend the Emirates ID service centre (sometimes known as a Customer Happiness Center) to show your passport and entry permit and undergo biometric tests. The Ministry of Labor will further receive your medical results and employment contract, which is used to process you onto the payroll system.
Collect your Emirates ID
The applicants will now have their Residence visa stamped into their passports. Once applicants have this, they may open a bank account and access government services. After ten days, applicants can collect their Emirates ID card.
The employment visa for Dubai, or any other emirate in the UAE, comes with specific rules ensuring the workers’ rights are not violated.
