Alarabia First Government Services Center is a licensed Amer center, and that is nearly all the public record says. GDRFA's list gives the address as "Deira, Dubai". We could not find a street, a building or opening hours, and we did not locate an operator website.
Finding a counter with a one-word address
Deira is large, from the Creek to the airport. Before setting out:
- Search the full name, Alarabia First Government Services Center, in your map app and check the result matches the spelling.
- Phone the number on that map listing and ask for the building and the nearest landmark.
- Ask whether they take walk-ins for your type of file.
If that fails, choose a counter with a fuller address from our Deira page.
Checking any counter's licence
Since GDRFA moved visa typing away from typing shops on , only Amer centers and GDRFA's own offices can submit residency files in Dubai. GDRFA publishes the full list of Amer centers on its Customer Happiness Centers page. Alarabia First is on it. A shop that is not on it can type a letter but cannot file your visa.
After you submit
Keep the receipt with the application number. You can follow the file yourself with the visa status check rather than calling the counter each day.
