The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) has successfully regularized the status of 19,772 individuals, while issuing 7,401 exit permits to violators wishing to return to their home countries during the amnesty program that commenced on September 1. GDRFA has confirmed that its staff is fully prepared to assist violators in rectifying their situations and providing necessary support as the amnesty period concludes on October 31.
According to Amer Centres, they have trained and informed their employees about the critical services related to the amnesty period. Employee orientation sessions were conducted, and 60 inspectors were appointed to offer technical support at service centres. The Amer centres, located across 86 sites in Dubai, provide services such as residence renewal, status adjustment, exit permits, lost document assistance, and essential consultations.
The centres highlighted that the inspectors' role is to support the service centres by guiding clients and offering solutions for correcting their statuses. They ensure that the service centres operate efficiently and do not misuse the amnesty, thereby ensuring its effectiveness and informing violators about all procedures.
The GDRFA in Dubai continues to implement this pioneering initiative launched by the Federal Authority, aimed at regularizing the status of residence law violators. The Amer centres are a cornerstone of this initiative, providing a comprehensive platform for humanitarian services that enable individuals to rectify their situations in accordance with federal laws.
His Excellency Major General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of the GDRFA in Dubai, stated, "The Amer centres work diligently to achieve the initiative's objectives by providing the best possible services, whether in guidance or expediting procedures for violators." He added, "We are committed to providing full support to anyone wishing to rectify their status, either through the services provided by Amer centres or through the specialized team that seeks to facilitate the process."
This initiative effectively promotes a stable and secure environment in the UAE, underscoring the country's humanitarian values in supporting residents and fostering a more stable and cohesive society. The GDRFA in Dubai urges all violators to seize this humanitarian opportunity to rectify their situations according to the law or opt for voluntary departure. The administration encourages clients to visit Amer centres or call (8005111) for more information and support available 24/7.
