The UAE’s new network of 16 Indian Consular Application Centres (ICACs) has officially opened, replacing passport and consular service counters at the Indian Embassy and Consulate.
Nearly 2,000 applicants booked appointments on the first day, while the new network has the capacity to process up to 8,000 applications daily.
The centres offer a range of services, including passport renewal, visa applications, document attestation and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) services under one roof.
Applicants pay a flat service fee of Dh19, which covers photography, photocopying, printing and assistance with filling out application forms.
Officials said the application process takes around 30 minutes, provided applicants have all the required documents. To improve accessibility, appointment slots are released twice a day through the new online booking system, making Indian consular services faster and more convenient for UAE residents.
