    I traveled three times to Dubai and had layovers several times. Both at the airport and the Hatta border crossing, the staff is incredibly du to outright rude, never making eye contact, ignoring salutations, treating you rather like an object instead of a human-being. Stamps in the passport are often barely visible and are placed on random pages. This has caused troubles for me in the past as well. It really, really does seem like they hate their jobs to the utmost. This makes reading the Directotate's mission statement somewhat of a joke.

    We always expect the best services from UAE government. However, some employees seems to be careless. Though most staff is friendly. Usually they are not informed. My mother residency application was rejected without sending any communication. The DLD call center told me to visit any branch. The HO residency section sent me to the visa section and there they told me to go to Al-Aweer branch , only in the morning. It is not the best experience I had with government institutions here.

    Forget about going to GDRFA in the afternoon at the Dubai festival city branch as closing time is up to the staff and they don’t follow scheduled working hours. Closing time for visa related jobs listed on more than one banner stand is 4pm however I arrived at 2:55pm for my visa collection and I’ve been refused to be served at the counter. An employee wearing abaya on the 4th of Jan 2018 who was left alone at the counter serving just one customer before me was shouting to the receptionist suggesting not to provide any more tokens as she was going to leave Customer service skills shall be taught to this employee. I contacted the call center asking closing time for this particular branch and I was told again 4pm, I then explained the situation to the call center operator who told me that sometimes they stop the service one or two hours prior the closing depending to the load of customers otherwise the employee will not finish on time. Although acceptable as an explanation, I did see the same employee leaving the counter at 3pm (an hour prior the closing time) and no other customer was there in queue apart from me. It would be helpful for the customers to have an “end of service” time as well as a “closing” time posted on their banner stands, websites or provided by the call centre. This poor service strategy should be addressed to the management.

    People don't know much about all service. They just ask us to go from one section to another

    I visited the GDRFA to get my Visa extension. It was very simple. I was guided by the Ladies Council to visit a Typing Centre. I paid 500 AED. It was done spontaneously online by the agent at the Typing Centre. Received confirmation of the approval by SMS and email. Initially I entered Dubai on 14th Oct by Visa on Arrival based on the eligibility for Indian passport holder with a valid US Visa for a stay of 2 weeks. Now one time extension for 2 more weeks :)

    From reception to front desk staff, nobody's I met had a clear idea who can solve my problem. It started with a simple registration problem to GDRFA app. As instructed at each point, I went from Call Centre (8005111)-Section 2-Section 4-Main Reception-IT Section (1st Floor)-Section 15-Online Services Section-Section 2, round and round. The online infrastructure is much better than the personnel working with it.

    This is the place to go should you have any questions regarding your application for visa etc. They are absolutely well versed with the rules.
