How to Access a Copy of Your UAE Residence Visa

UAE residents can now easily obtain a digital copy of their residence visa, following the transition from visa stickers to Emirates ID cards.
This change means all residency details are stored electronically, but residents may still need to provide a physical copy for various administrative tasks, such as applying for a tourist visa or sponsoring a family member.
