Dubai has launched a revolutionary new system to simplify residency permits, visa renewals, and other related transactions, making the process faster and more efficient.
The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) has introduced an AI-powered online platform, Salama, enabling residents to renew their and their families' residency permits and visas within minutes -- right from their smartphones.
Hassle-free visa renewal
With Salama, users can log in, select their renewal period, pay the required fee, and instantly download updated documents -- all without the need for physical paperwork or visiting service centers.
Officials say that this initiative will eliminate long queues and traditional transaction processes, allowing residents to manage their documentation effortlessly from the comfort of their homes.
Step towards digital transformation
The UAE government continues to integrate artificial intelligence into its public services, enhancing efficiency and user convenience.
Authorities believe this AI-driven service will not only save time for residents but also streamline governmental operations, making Dubai’s residency and visa renewal process one of the most advanced in the world.
