Passport Cover Mandatory for UAE Visa – Check New Rule Before Applying

applying for a visa

Dubai (Staff Reports) – A few days ago, a new law was enacted for those applying for a visa in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). According to immigration officials, the front cover of the passport must be in good condition before submitting a visa application. This news is circulating a lot on social media, and people want to know why this was done. So let us tell you why this was done.

UAE officials say the decision was made for security, scanning, and preventing fake documents. They say that if a person’s passport cover is torn or missing at the time of application, the application will be rejected immediately.

In case of deterioration of the passport cover, all travelers should first get their passport renewed or re-bound from the passport office. This is a mandatory requirement to prevent fraud and people coming with invalid passports. Remember, if you apply for a visa in such a situation, your visa processing will not be possible.
