Hi

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question.......I have been in the UAE for 3 weeks and haven't got mine, or my kids residency visa yet (a long story!).
Can we get an Emirates ID card without the visa?
Also can you please let me know the quickest way to go on a visa run.....we are off to Oman for the weekend and suspect it won't be just the once.

Thank you for your help in advance x

Hi Blue welcome to the UAE No, the Emirates ID card is part of the visa process. The application is done as part of the visa process and you receive your ID card about 2 weeks after you get your visa. (In the meantime before receiving the card, you use the printed application form with bar code on it for things like getting your Driving License etc). Someone else will be along soon I'm sure to advise on visa runs!
