The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai will take part in the Arabian Travel Market, presenting its latest smart travel services to visitors and industry professionals.

During the event, GDRFA Dubai will showcase an integrated ecosystem of services and solutions designed to facilitate mobility, expand options for visiting the UAE, and enhance the passenger experience from arrival at Dubai’s ports through to the completion of their journey.

At the exhibition, GDRFA Dubai will showcase the Red Carpet service, which uses biometric verification technologies to identify passengers and complete passport control procedures quickly and seamlessly, without requiring them to present travel documents at every step. The service represents an advanced model for smart border control, enhancing operational efficiency and making the passenger journey easier and more convenient.

GDRFA Dubai is also showcasing its innovative Click and Travel service during its participation at Arabian Travel Market. The service enables passport control officers to complete travellers’ entry and departure procedures using mobile devices during peak periods and emergencies, providing greater operational flexibility and supporting the smooth flow of passengers.

The service uses biometric technologies, automated pre-screening of passenger data and secure connectivity to relevant systems, helping enhance the speed and efficiency of procedures while supporting a smoother and more innovative travel experience across Dubai’s airports.

The stand will also introduce visitors to the five-year multiple-entry tourist visa, which enables travellers to enter the UAE multiple times without requiring a sponsor or host in the country. It provides greater flexibility when planning repeat visits, in accordance with the approved durations, regulations and conditions.

The participation will also highlight the service for issuing a 60-day entry visa to nationals of certain countries residing abroad, providing eligible travellers with a flexible and convenient option for visiting the UAE, subject to the applicable terms and requirements.
