Which Visas We Handle, and Where
This page is about UAE visas: residence, family, work and visit visas issued by ICP and GDRFA, with work permits through MOHRE. Wordcraft handles UAE visas only; we do not file visa applications for other countries.
All four offices file visas for residents of their emirate and beyond:
- Dubai HQ, Al Twar: next to Al Twar Centre, for GDRFA files.
- Abu Dhabi, Hamdan Street: ICP files and Abu Dhabi Golden visa nominations.
- Sharjah, Al Majaz: ICP files for Sharjah and Ajman residents.
- Ras Al Khaimah, Al Nakheel: ICP files, open until 10 pm on weekdays.
Most asked-for services: Golden visa, family visa, spouse visa, residence renewal, cancellation and Emirates ID.
More Questions About UAE Visa Services
Is Wordcraft a government service center?
No. Wordcraft is a private documents and visa services company. We prepare, attest, translate and submit your file through the official ICP, GDRFA and MOHRE channels; the visa decision is made by the authority.
Can you help if my visa has already expired?
Yes. We check your grace period and any overstay, then file the renewal, status change or settlement that fits. See the grace period guide.
Do I need to visit an office?
Usually not. Most files start with photos on WhatsApp, and originals are collected when a route needs them. You attend only the medical test and biometrics.
Which emirate's rules apply to me?
The emirate on your residence and tenancy decides: GDRFA for Dubai, ICP for the others. Our ICP vs GDRFA guide explains the differences.

Choose Your UAE Visa
Wordcraft handles the main UAE residence, long-term and visit visas, plus the attestation and legal translation they depend on. Pick your visa to see who qualifies, the documents and the steps:
- Long-term residence: Golden visa (10 years), including the property route (AED 2M) and the professionals route (AED 30,000 salary), and the Green visa (5 years).
- Family: family visa, spouse visa, parents visa and newborn baby visa.
- Work and business: employment visa, investor and partner visa and the domestic worker (maid) visa.
- Visits: tourist visa and business visit visa.
Renewal, Cancellation and Status Change
Most visa work is not a new visa but a change to an existing one. We handle:
- Residence visa renewal: with the medical test, health insurance and Emirates ID in one request.
- Visa cancellation: inside or outside the UAE, in the right order for dependants, with the grace period explained.
- Status change: moving from a visit visa or a cancelled residence to a new residence without leaving the country.
Documents You Usually Need: Attestation and Legal Translation
Family, employment and Golden visas all depend on certificates issued abroad. A marriage certificate for a spouse, birth certificates for children and a degree for many work visas must be attested in the issuing country and by the UAE embassy there, which now completes the UAE MOFA attestation digitally in the same step. If the residency authority wants the certificate in Arabic, our legal translators prepare it after the attestation. Our checklist which documents need attestation for a UAE residence visa lists them by visa type; we handle marriage, birth and degree certificate attestation and legal translation in-house.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and RAK: Who Processes Your Visa
| Where you live | Residency authority | Work permits |
|---|---|---|
| Dubai | General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) | MOHRE (mainland) or the free zone authority |
| Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and the other emirates | Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) | MOHRE (mainland) or the free zone authority |
The medical fitness test is done at an approved health center in your emirate, and Emirates ID biometrics at an ICP or GDRFA-approved center. With offices in Dubai (HQ, Al Twar), Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, we file in every emirate and book the appointments near you. We prepare and submit each file; the visa itself is always decided by GDRFA or ICP.
