Before you apply

Pre-requisites for DMCC Freezone Visa Services.

Whether you need a DMCC New Visa, a DMCC Visa Renewal or a DMCC Visa Cancellation, the same file is checked first. These six conditions are confirmed before anything reaches the authority.

Prerequisite 01

Company & DMCC file

Every DMCC visa — new, renewal or cancellation — is filed against the establishment record on the DMCC online portal. The company side is checked before the applicant’s.

Verified first
  • Valid DMCC trade licence, not expired or in a lapsed grace period
  • Establishment card current, with the immigration file open
  • DMCC portal access active for the company
  • Visa allocation available under your DMCC package
  • No outstanding dues to the DMCC authority
  • Lease and access approval current, where required
Where files stall: A DMCC licence in a lapsed grace period blocks every visa route on the portal. Licence first, then visa — we check both expiry dates together.
Prerequisite 02

New Visa pre-requisites

A new DMCC visa is submitted through the online portal and needs initial approval before the medical stage.

Before the application
  • Passport copies, valid at least six months
  • Photographs meeting UAE specifications, white background
  • Educational certificates, attested where the designation requires it
  • Initial approval from DMCC authorities before the medical
  • Applicant location — inside or outside the UAE changes the route
  • Designation matched to the licence activity and certificates
Where files stall: Attested educational certificates are the longest lead item on a new DMCC file. Start them before anything else, because two stages of attestation happen abroad.
Prerequisite 03

Visa Renewal pre-requisites

The renewal must be completed before the current visa expires to avoid fines or legal issues.

Before the renewal
  • Original passport, current visa and Emirates ID collected
  • Recent photograph for the application
  • Visa expiry date checked, and the renewal begun ahead of it
  • Emirates ID expiry checked separately — the dates often differ
  • DMCC licence expiry checked alongside the visa
  • Medical test at an authorized centre
Where files stall: Three expiry dates run in parallel on a DMCC file — visa, Emirates ID and trade licence. Renewing one and missing another still leaves the holder out of status.
Prerequisite 04

Visa Cancellation pre-requisites

A cancellation is a formal procedure required to legally end an expatriate employee’s work status in the free zone.

Before cancelling
  • Required documents collected for the cancellation file
  • Original passport available for stamping
  • Emirates ID returned by the employee
  • Final settlement completed before signature
  • Outstanding fines settled, including any overstay
  • Dependants cancelled or transferred alongside the sponsor
Where files stall: Collect the passport and Emirates ID before anyone books a flight. Cancellations stall most often because the documents have already left the country.
Prerequisite 05

Medical & Emirates ID

Both a new visa and a renewal run through a mandatory medical and an Emirates ID application.

In sequence
  • Medical test at an authorized centre — mandatory on both routes
  • Initial approval obtained before the medical on a new visa
  • Emirates ID card applied for after stamping
  • Biometrics captured at a registration centre
  • Medical results reviewed by DMCC authorities on renewal
  • Appointments scheduled together so the employee makes one trip
Where files stall: DMCC reviews the medical results as part of the renewal approval, so a delayed medical delays the whole renewal rather than just the last step.
Prerequisite 06

Costs & timeline

DMCC quotes its visa charges as a single package figure rather than itemised lines, which is unusual among the Dubai free zones.

What to plan for
  • New visa: approximately AED 5,150 in total
  • Renewal: approximately AED 3,815 in total
  • Cancellation: approximately AED 458 in total
  • Costs include application fees, medical test fees and visa stamping
  • Renewal before expiry to avoid fines or legal issues
  • Transparent pricing — all charges communicated upfront, no hidden costs
Where files stall: DMCC bundles its charges into one figure, which makes it look simpler than it is. We break the package down line by line in writing so you can see what each stage actually costs.
