Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about UAE life administration

How often do I need to renew my Emirates ID?

Emirates ID for UAE residents is valid for 2 years (or linked to visa duration). Renew before expiry. Late renewal fines: AED 20 per day (max AED 1,000). Apply via ICP app, typing centres, or ICP customer happiness centres.

What happens if my residence visa expires?

There is a 30-day grace period after visa expiry to renew or leave the country. Fines of AED 25/day apply after the grace period. Overstaying can result in exit bans and difficulty re-entering. Track your visa expiry date carefully — renew 1-2 months before.

How do I renew my vehicle registration in Dubai?

RTA vehicle registration renews annually. Vehicles 3+ years need a vehicle test (AED 150). Renew via RTA app, website, or testing centres. Cost: AED 350-400. Ensure insurance is valid (minimum 13 months). Late renewal: AED 10/month fine.

Is health insurance mandatory in Dubai?

Yes. DHA requires all Dubai residents to have health insurance. Employers must provide coverage for employees. Dependents must be covered by the sponsor. The Essential Benefits Package (EBP) provides basic coverage. Non-compliance results in visa processing delays and fines.

What is Ejari and why is it important?

Ejari is Dubai's rental contract registration system managed by RERA. It's mandatory for all rental properties and required for visa processing, DEWA connection, and dispute resolution. Renew Ejari annually with your tenancy contract. Cost: AED 220 per registration.
