Dubai Residents Who Comply with Residency Rules to Get Special Privileges

The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) Dubai has introduced a new initiative called ‘The Ideal Face,’ rewarding long-term residents and sponsors who adhere to Dubai’s residency rules. Starting November 1, those meeting specific criteria will enjoy exclusive privileges, including priority customer service and personalized assistance.


Eligibility Criteria for Special Privileges

The initiative encourages residents and sponsors to maintain clean residency records. To qualify for these benefits, individuals must meet the following conditions:

  • Residency Duration: Must have lived in Dubai for at least 10 years.
  • Sponsorship: Should sponsor one or more dependents (family members or domestic workers) without any residency violations for the past 10 years.
  • Clean Record: The sponsor must not have committed any residency violations in the current year.
  • Eligible Participants: Open to both UAE nationals and expatriates.

This initiative promotes compliance with UAE’s laws, ensuring the community aligns with the vision of a safer and sustainable society.


Exclusive Privileges for Law-Abiding Residents and Sponsors

Participants meeting the eligibility criteria will receive a range of special benefits, including:

  • Priority Call Services: Faster response times at the GDRFA Dubai call center.
  • Expedited Customer Service: Access to dedicated service representatives to speed up transactions at customer service centers.
  • Digital Certificate of Appreciation: Awardees will receive an Ideal Face Certificate as recognition for positive behavior.
  • Elderly Care Services: Mobile customer service centers will provide GDRFA services at elderly residents’ homes.
  • More Privileges Coming Soon: The program will expand with additional benefits in the future.

Aiming for a Safer Community and Better Compliance

Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director-General of GDRFA Dubai, highlighted that this initiative aligns with the UAE’s commitment to security and stability. “Security and safety are essential for realizing the UAE’s vision of a happy and sustainable society,” Al Marri said. The goal is to foster compliance with residency laws, promoting positive behavior and long-term stability.

Brigadier Abdul Samad Hussein Suleiman, Acting Assistant Director-General, further emphasized that every individual plays a role in maintaining community security. “By promoting adherence to laws, we build a safer and happier community aligned with the UAE’s leadership vision,” he added.


Pledge of Commitment to Residency Rules

Residents and sponsors not eligible for ‘The Ideal Face’ program can still participate by signing a pledge of commitment to follow the residency rules. The GDRFA Dubai will share a link on their official social media channels starting November 1, allowing everyone to join the initiative by pledging their compliance.
