UAE completes implementation of new E-Vision online system for making dependent visa applications

The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigner's Affairs (GDRFA) in the UAE has completed its implementation of a new online system to process dependent visa applications in Dubai. It is now compulsory to use this online system and manual applications will no longer be accepted. The new system will benefit employees by removing the need for personal attendance at the immigration authorities.

A Tax Alert prepared by EY's People Advisory Services group, and attached below, provides additional details.
