Frequently asked questions
- Why do some fees have no number?
- Because the official portal does not publish one. Several Gulf e-services charge the fee only inside the application flow, and the schedule page is either script-driven or unreachable. A visa agency's number is not a substitute for the government's.
- Are these fees per year or one-off?
- Both exist. Residence permits are usually charged per year of residence, ID cards per validity period, and some services carry a one-off application fee on top. The 'Basis' column states what the figure covers.
