600 typing centres to be replaced by smart visa centres

Amer smart centers will replace 600 typing centers to streamline visa processing and simplify transactions beginning Nov 1.

The one-stop shops will issue entry permits, issue or renew residence visas, and process visa cancellations, among other related services.

Two Amer centres currently operate to allow residents to complete visa and residency transactions more seamlessly: one is located in  Al Muhaisnah 4, while the other is in Al Kifaf Municipality center.

More of them will be launched across the emirate, and each should be able to handle at least 5,000 to 6,000 transactions daily, an official in the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigner Affairs told Khaleej Times.

As of the start of November, visa application process systems of typing centers have been disabled.

“Our system for processing visa applications was disabled […]From now on, people can only approach Amer centres for family visa processing,” Khaleej Times quoted Asif Mahmoud, the manager of Al Arsa Typing Center.
