Before you apply
Whether you need a DSO New Visa, a DSO Visa Renewal or a DSO Visa Cancellation, the same file is checked first. These six conditions are confirmed before anything reaches the authority.
Every DSO visa — new, renewal or cancellation — is filed against the establishment record on the DSO portal. The company side is checked before the applicant’s.
A new DSO visa runs from consultation through to stamping. These are confirmed before the application reaches the authority.
A renewal is where the file is re-examined. Anything that has changed since the original visa surfaces here.
A cancellation is simple to file and easy to get wrong. Settle these before anything is submitted.
Both a new visa and a renewal run through a medical and an Emirates ID application. Booking them together saves days.
DSO charges an authority fee on top of the immigration charges, which is what makes a free zone visa cost more than a mainland one.
