Abu Dhabi And Dubai Airports Offer 24-Hour Passport Renewal

UAE’s Digital Government has revealed that the General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA) offers a round-the-clock passport renewal facility at the Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports.

UAE citizens can get a new, renewed, or replacement Emirati passport easily in five ways given by the Digital Government.
