UAE begins to issue Electronic Residency Visas to replace physical stamping of passports

Effective December 12, the UAE authorities began issuing electronic Residency Visas to individuals who apply to obtain or renew their work or residence authorization, in lieu of stickers stamped on their passports. UAE residents must now present only their (physical) Emirates ID cards when entering or departing from the UAE and are no longer required to present their Residency Visas.
