You have to go to Nakheel's customer service centre at the Palm Jumeirah, fill up a form, hand over Dhs 5k and your passport, 8 photos, no-objection letter from building owner, passport copies and a copy of first page of contract.
Then go to a clinic (with map provided by Nakheel) for a blood test, and then wait for 2 weeks to pick up your passport with visa from Nakheel.

You pay 2k extra if you do visa change without leaving Dubai. It seems they don't ask for 10k extra as deposit any more, even though it is mentioned on the form. That made me happy.

Some questions regarding the process of getting visas through the property (International city)
1. How many years will they grant visa for?
2. Are 5K or 2K refundable at any time?

Thanks in advance.

Nakheel told you that? Disturbing really, since if they pulled this stunt earlier, I would've become illegal. I got it done back in November.

Sorry if this question has been asked before. Is there any advantages to having a residents visa ?
