How to Apply for a UAE Exit Permit

Use ICP’s official service when a person needs an authorised departure document for the recorded immigration situation.

Residency & procedures · Reviewed 6 October 2026

For exit permit UAE, begin with the exact account, document or case reference involved. The linked authority’s live service remains the final source for eligibility, required evidence, timing and any calculated charge.

1. Confirm an exit permit is required

Do not confuse an exit permit with visa cancellation, fine payment or an airline travel document. Ask ICP which record applies.

2. Resolve identity evidence

Prepare the passport or alternative identity and immigration references requested for the case.

3. Apply through the responsible authority

Use ICP’s listed service unless the person’s Dubai file is directed to GDRFA. Follow the authority shown on the immigration record.

4. Check the validity window

Read the issued permit’s dates and conditions and arrange travel accordingly. Keep proof of lawful departure.

Use official channels only. Never share an OTP, password or unrestricted UAE Pass approval with an agent.
