What Is UAE Residence Visa Stamping?

Official Entry to Legal UAE Residency

The UAE residence visa stamping is the final step in activating a residency permit after entering the country on an approved entry permit. It applies to foreign nationals, including employees, investors, and sponsored family members.

Legal residency is confirmed either through a physical visa sticker in the passport or a digital record linked to the Emirates ID. Medical testing is mandatory for applicants aged 18 and above.

EGSH, a government-authorised AMER Centre, manages the full stamping process — from document submission and medical test coordination to Emirates ID application and final residency confirmation — in full compliance with GDRFA and ICP regulations.

What are the current UAE visa stamping requirements for new residents?

As of 2025, the UAE visa stamping requirements include holding a valid entry permit, completing a medical fitness test at a DHA-approved facility (for applicants aged 18 and above), and registering for an Emirates ID with biometric data. Applicants must also submit supporting documents such as a valid passport, an entry permit copy, a recent photograph, an Emirates ID application receipt, and sponsor details. Additional documents may be required depending on the visa category. EGSH ensures the complete file is processed accurately and within the official timeframe.

Is a medical test mandatory for visa stamping in the UAE?

A medical test is a mandatory part of the residency stamping process in the UAE for all applicants aged 18 and above. The test includes screening for communicable diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB). The residence visa stamp will not be issued until the applicant is declared medically fit.

How long does the visa stamping process take in Dubai?

The visa stamping process in Dubai typically takes two working days, depending on the accuracy of submitted documents and completion of mandatory steps such as medical testing and Emirates ID registration. Delays may occur if the application is incomplete or if there are discrepancies in the supporting documents. EGSH ensures that all submissions meet the official requirements to streamline the process and minimise waiting times.

Do investors need a visa stamping?

Investors are required to complete residence visa stamping in the UAE after their visa application is approved. This step legalises their residency status and enables them to obtain an Emirates ID, access government services, and sponsor family members. The stamping process applies to all investor visa categories, including those under the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and free zones.

What are the fees for visa stamping in the UAE?

The official fees for the residence visa stamping in the UAE depend on the visa category (e.g. family, employment, investor) and the validity period (1, 2, or 3 years). Additional charges may apply for mandatory medical tests and Emirates ID registration. Before submitting your application, EGSH provides a detailed breakdown of all applicable fees, ensuring complete transparency.

Is the Emirates ID a replacement for a visa stamp?

The Emirates ID has effectively replaced the physical visa stamp in the UAE. Since the implementation of the UAE digital residence permit, the visa sticker in the passport is no longer required for most residency types. The Emirates ID now contains all essential residency details, including the visa category, expiry date, and UID number. However, visa records remain accessible through official government portals such as ICP and GDRFA for verification purposes.

We had the pleasure of being assisted by the lovely Ms Maria and Ms Randa. They were clear concise and super professional throughout our whole process of renewing our Ejari and business licence. Maria provided continued support while we were waiting for our business Ejari to come through and made it a simple seamless process. I can’t thank these lovely ladies enough. We saved so much money going direct and it was refreshing knowing we are not over paying going through a PRO or typing service company that add so many fees. I saved over 6000aed just for reference. Thank you to EGSH staff. Especially Maria & Randa 🙏

I worked with Amir and Zara, they took care of everything, I only had to send the mandatory information. In a very short time, everything was completed.

For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.
