Eligibility
Ensure that all family members’ visas are due for renewal. Also, make sure your own residency status and employment details are up-to-date, as these can affect the renewal process.

How it works
Family members over a certain age may need to undergo a medical fitness test. Check with the relevant health authorities for specific requirements.
Ensure that you have valid health insurance for all family members. This is a requirement for visa renewal.
After receiving the medical report, process the Emirates ID renewal application from any typing centre.

Fees are set by MOHRE and GDRFA and are reviewed periodically. We send an itemised written breakdown showing government cost at cost and our fee separately, before any payment is made.
Before you renew
A renewal looks routine until one of these six has changed since the last filing. Each is checked before we file — because a renewal that stalls past the expiry date costs fines as well as time.
A renewal is granted against the sponsor, exactly as the original visa was. If the sponsor’s own position has changed since the last filing, that surfaces here.
Renewal timing decides whether this is routine or expensive. Confirm every visa in the family is genuinely due.
The tenancy contract is checked again at renewal, and an expired or relocated address stops the file.
Valid health insurance for all family members is a stated requirement for visa renewal, not an optional extra.
Two steps run in sequence, and the medical report is what releases the Emirates ID application.
A renewal is lighter than a new application, but every document must be a current version rather than a copy of what was filed last time.
