UAE authorities have updated the entry permit fees for those who are applying for the country's 10-year Golden Visa.

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) has revised the cost of the six-month entry permit to Dh1,250, according to a report published in Arabic daily Al Khaleej.

The Dh1,250 charge includes a Dh1,000 issuance fee; Dh100 application fee; Dh100 for smart services; Dh28 for electronic services; and Dh22 for ICP says, the authority said.

When applying for the entry permit, Golden Visa applicants must submit a number of documents, including passport, a coloured personal photo, and proof of eligibility.
