Step 4: Upload Documents:
This is the most important point, to avoid any delay in application processing; the uploaded documents should be valid and clear. The attachment should be clear and legible before posting. Please note that GDRFA staff to approve or reject your application by checking your uploaded copies.


GDRFA Return Permit Require Documents

We request you to upload clear face and text (High Quality JPEG) documents otherwise your application will be rejected.



Require documents are:

·       Valid Passport Copy

To get GDRFA instant approval, we recommend everyone to upload your covid-19 vaccine certificate either taken inside UAE or outside UAE, better to upload AL HOSN app status showing that you are vaccinated. 

Note: If your request is rejected, you can submit a new application only after 5 days from rejection date. also if you have already received the approval of gdrfa return permit but cannot travel due to any issue, you can reapply for new permit in the last 7 days before the expiry of first approved permit. 

If you are facing rejection, try to upload company letter (NOC) along with above documents, if you have any other document such labour card, passport size photo, air ticket etc you can upload it but the important one are Passport, Visa and ID. You can upload up to 10 documents. Once uploaded, click on continue.

Last step is to submit the application; the service is free of charge. Click post button to send your return permit application.

Additional Documents Required:

If your uploaded documents are not enough for the approval, you will get email reply from GDRFA that upload additional documents, the question is what document you need to upload again? to do this, you first need to check which document you uploaded earlier, if it is passport, visa and emirates ID, now try to upload vaccine certificate, company letter, profile photo or labour card.

Again, we will recommend to upload HD Scanned documents.


Approval of Entry Permit:

Mostly it take one or two days to approve the request (sometime minutes) but as the service is reaching more and more people the system is taking more time to approve the requests, but don’t worry it will not take more than 1 week to approve your request.

Once approved, you will be notified through mail with above attached approval sample. You can than book ticket to travel Dubai but only if flights operation resumed and you have covid-19 vaccine certificate.

What to do in-case of continues rejection?
In-case your application is getting rejected by authorities, it means you have stayed for more than 6 months outside UAE, or your visa category is 3 or 4, this the main reason of rejection.



But don't worry, you still have opportunity to get GDRFA approval, and it can be through your sponsor (company). your company (sponsor) need to apply for your Return permit in Dubai, This is confirmed from Emirates Airline and GDRFA Director General Major Mohammed Al Marri.  if your company cannot apply online, the company PRO must visit AMER center with your passport, visa and ID copy to get approval.

Q: Is there any criteria for approving a return permit for Dubai residents?
A: All residents in the UAE can return to the country. However, there are some companies that must apply for the return permit on behalf of their sponsored employees. we have approved some such requests already. This is important because the residents return with guaranteed employment.

This question is also answered by Emirates Airline, check below email reply.
