Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to amend my visa if I renewed my passport?

Yes. If your passport number has changed, you must update your visa and Emirates ID to reflect the new passport number. This is mandatory for travel and government transactions.

How long does a visa data amendment take?

Most amendments are processed within 1–3 business days. Simple corrections like passport number updates are often completed the same day.

Can I change my profession on my visa?

Yes. Profession changes require MOHRE approval and may involve additional fees. Your employer must initiate the request. The new profession must match an approved MOHRE classification.

What if my name is spelled differently on my visa and passport?

Name discrepancies can cause issues at immigration and banking. Submit a correction as soon as possible. Bring both the old and new passport to show the discrepancy.

Is Emirates ID automatically updated with visa amendments?

Not always. Emirates ID updates may need to be requested separately depending on the type of amendment. We handle both processes together at Amer MBS.

What are the fees for visa data amendment?

Government fees vary by amendment type — simple corrections start from AED 100, while profession changes may cost more. Amer MBS service fees apply for typing and submission.
