What we do — step-by-step

1. Initial assessment: confirm visa type, expiry date, sponsor details and whether the visa is active, cancelled or cancelled with grace period expired. 2. Document checklist: identify required documents for the specific case (passport copies, existing residence visa, Emirates ID, company documents, tenancy contract or attested documents where needed). 3. Medical and biometrics: arrange any required medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometric updates. 4. Application submission: prepare and submit the renewal application with the appropriate immigration authority or typing centre. 5. Follow-up and collection: track the application, resolve queries and collect the renewed visa and updated Emirates ID. 6. Overstay and fines: calculate any overstay fines, arrange payment and help secure exit/re-entry permits or amnesty options when applicable.

Emirates ID renewal and updates

Emirates ID renewal often runs alongside residence visa renewal; we coordinate biometric appointments and follow through with the Emirates Identity Authority steps.

If an Emirates ID is lost, expired or requires an address update, we prepare the correct forms and submit them on your behalf.

Common FAQ

Q: Can you renew a visa that has already expired? What about overstays?

A: Yes — expired visas can often be renewed, but the process differs if the visa expired some time ago and overstay fines apply. We assess the situation, calculate fines, and advise the safest route (renewal, fine payment, or other corrective process).

Q: Do I need to attend medical tests or biometrics?

A: Many renewals require a medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics. We arrange appointments and explain what to bring.

Q: How long before expiry should I start the renewal process?

A: Start at least 30–45 days before expiry where possible to avoid last-minute complications. If your visa is already near expiry or expired, contact us immediately.

Q: Can you renew dependent and investor visas?

A: Yes. We handle employee, dependent and investor-sponsored renewals and the specific documentation each requires.

Q: Will you handle cancellations and new sponsorship transfers?

A: We provide guidance on cancellations, transfer of sponsorship and related procedures; the correct approach depends on your sponsorship type and visa status.
