Pricing
Starting fromAED 1,580per applicant
AED 1,580 covers one applicant end to end: entry permit, status change, medical, Emirates ID and visa stamping, with the typing centre and the licensed partner coordinated throughout.
What it comes to depends on the visa term and on who is being sponsored, reaching AED 3,200 at the top. Tell us who you are sponsoring and we will give you the figure per person.
How this price works. AED 1,580 is the starting price per applicant, with the immigration and medical charges already inside it. You get the exact figure in writing before any work begins, and it does not change afterwards. If your case needs a stage beyond the standard one, we tell you what it costs before we start, never after. Our assistant does not quote a figure at all: a person prices your case and sends the quotation.
FAQ
