Dubai’s General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) has revealed “Salama,” an advanced artificial intelligence platform that reshapes the scene of UAE visa processing. This innovative system cuts down visa renewal times from hours to seconds, bringing a radical alteration in how government services work.
The system uses smart algorithms to recognize user information right after UAE Pass login. Users can see their current visa status, dependent details, and upcoming expiration dates without typing any data. The whole process takes just 10-20 seconds now, which is a huge improvement from the earlier 1-3 hour wait time.
Residents can now renew their visas in three simple steps: they pick the visa duration, pay the fees, and get their renewed permit in their email. This paperless system removes the need for traditional forms and documents while keeping all payment options in one place.
Right now, Salama handles visa renewals and cancelations for residents. Ghaleb Abdullah Mohammed Hassan Al-Majid, Director of the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Department, said, “Now, it has been reduced to just one to two minutes, when all provided documents are in order.”
The platform is the life-blood of Dubai’s Digital Transformation Strategy and supports UAE’s Vision 2071. Colonel Khalid bin Madia Al Falasi, Assistant Director General of the Digital Services Affairs Sector at GDRFA Dubai, says Salama will keep improving and will soon extend its services to companies.
Families benefit from the system immediately. Sponsors can handle multiple dependent visas at once without filing separate applications. The service works in more than 40 languages, with plans to add even more.
This digital upgrade lines up with other government improvements. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has cut down procedures by 72 percent, required fields by 93 percent, and processing time by 83 percent in services of all types.
How to Check Your UAE Visa Processing Status Through the AI Platform
AI-powered platforms have made UAE visa processing status tracking simple and quick. You can now track your application through different digital channels based on your UAE location.
Dubai residents can use the GDRFA’s Salama platform to get immediate status updates. The system identifies your information as soon as you log in through UAE Pass. It shows your current visa status, dependent details, and days left until expiration. You can check your status in just 10-20 seconds since there’s no need to enter data manually.
The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) website serves residents of Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. Both platforms need specific details to track applications:
- Application and reference numbers
- Passport details
- Nationality
- Date of birth (for some services)
Users get instant updates about their visa status, validity, and other details after entering these details and completing CAPTCHA verification. You can check your status from anywhere in the world since both platforms are available internationally.
Mobile apps are another convenient option to track your status. The GDRFA Dubai mobile app (for Dubai visas) and DubaiNow app let you check your application status. Android and iOS users can access these apps easily.
Some offline options include:
- ICP Helpline: 600-522-222 (UAE residents) or +971-4-313-9999 (international)
- Amer Center: 800-5111 (Dubai-specific visas)
- Local immigration offices
Digital channels are the quickest way to get responses. They line up with UAE government’s vision to provide smooth services that you can access anytime, anywhere. These AI-powered platforms make the checking process faster while ensuring accuracy through advanced algorithms.

AI has reshaped UAE’s visa processing into a quick and efficient system. The new Salama platform now lets residents renew their visas in 10-20 seconds through smart channels, a task that used to take hours.
The new process is simple and works in three easy steps:

- Selection & Payment – The system shows visa details and renewal options ready to pay.
- Instant Delivery – Users get their updated visa documents by email right away without visiting any office.
The old system needed lots of paperwork. Now, the AI platform gets user data as soon as they log in. Smart algorithms, biometric checks, and automated compliance systems work together to make visa renewals quick and accurate.
The platform keeps security as its top priority. Salama uses advanced protection with face recognition and fingerprint scans to stop identity theft. On top of that, it uses AI to spot suspicious applications and checks data against global security databases.
This tech upgrade benefits everyone. The UAE government saves over 60% on administrative costs. Professionals can work better without getting stuck in paperwork.
Right now, Salama helps with personal visa renewals and dependent visa handling. The platform will soon expand to help businesses manage employee visas directly. Companies with many workers will find it easier to handle bulk renewals.
The system makes life easier for families too. Sponsors can now renew or cancel multiple dependent visas at once instead of filing separate forms.
The Salama platform in UAE proves the country’s dedication to digital excellence in government services. This AI-powered system has changed visa processing completely with 20-second renewals, automated verification systems, and smooth digital delivery methods.
The platform delivers more than just speed. It has cut administrative costs by 60% and increased accuracy through AI-driven processing. Residents can download documents instantly, and families can manage multiple visas at once.
Advanced biometric authentication and fraud detection protect every transaction, keeping security at the forefront of this digital change. UAE plans to expand the system’s services to businesses, showing its commitment to creating adaptable digital solutions for all society sectors.
The move from traditional paper-based processes to an AI-driven approach makes UAE a pioneer in smart government services. The Salama platform shows how artificial intelligence creates quick, secure, and user-friendly solutions that work well for citizens and government agencies.
