Al Quoz has 5 Amer centers in the list on this page, including DXB Businessmen Services in Al Khail Mall, which also holds a Tasheel licence for labour work in the same mall, and the Al Reaya branch on the 2nd floor of Oasis Center, Al Waha Street, Al Quoz 1, the only one with published hours: Monday to Saturday 08:00 to 20:00. Expect a center charge of about AED 100 to 300 per visa transaction on top of GDRFA fees.
Which Al Quoz counter does which job
| Your job | Go to | Al Quoz option |
|---|---|---|
| Entry permit, residence visa, renewal, status change | Amer | The 5 Amer centers below, including Al Reaya at Oasis Center |
| Work permit, labour contract, labour card | Tasheel | Enjaz Almostqbal (Industrial 3) or DXB Businessmen Services (Al Khail Mall) |
| Maid, nanny or driver visa | Tadbeer | 4 domestic workers centers |
| Medical or Emirates ID form typing | Typing shop or Amer | Better Mind Businessmen Services, Al Quoz Mall, or any of the 31 private shops |
A private typing shop cannot submit a Dubai visa; only Amer centers and GDRFA can. Typing center services lists what a shop can still do for you.
What it usually costs
Published price lists of Dubai typing centers, checked , put typing at about AED 40 to 200 per form and the Amer service charge at about AED 100 to 300 per GDRFA transaction. Government fees are always extra. A MOHRE business services center may charge at most AED 72 per service on top of the federal fee, so a Tasheel bill well above that is worth questioning.
Al Khail Mall: Amer and Tasheel under one name
DXB Businessmen Services holds a Tasheel licence on the MOHRE list (Al Khail Mall, Latifa Bint Hamdan Street, Al Quoz 4) and an Amer branch on the GDRFA list in the same mall. For an employer, that pairing is handy: a new hire needs a MOHRE work permit first and a GDRFA residence visa after. Neither list publishes hours, so check both counters are open before you go.
Oasis Center and Al Quoz Mall
Al Reaya at Oasis Center is the Al Quoz Amer center with published hours, Monday to Saturday 08:00 to 20:00 and closed Sunday. It is in the list on this page and on Amer centers near you. The Al Reaya group also runs Alwaha Center for Domestic Workers Services, a Tadbeer center in Al Quoz.
Better Mind Businessmen Services in Al Quoz Mall is a private typing center, not on the GDRFA or MOHRE lists. A secondary source gives Sunday to Thursday 07:00 to 20:00, which is not confirmed, so check before a trip.
The other Amer centers
Digital Future Government Transactions Center is at Gold and Diamond Park, and its group also runs the Enjaz Almostqbal Tasheel counter in Al Quoz Industrial 3. Tathqeef for Integrated Government Services and Bab Alfalah Documents Clearing Services are single Amer licences with only "Al Quoz" as the address, so open the map link in the list and confirm the building before you drive.
Industrial area employers
Al Quoz Industrial 3 has the Enjaz Tasheel counter and two Tadbeer centers, Excellence and Ritaj. For a workshop or warehouse hire, the order is MOHRE first, the work permit through Tasheel, then the GDRFA entry permit and residence visa through Amer, with the medical test and Emirates ID along the way. Employment visa UAE has the steps and Tasheel centers near you lists all 82 Tasheel centers in Dubai.
Choosing among the private shops
The list also shows 23 private typing offices and 8 clearing offices from public directories. They can type forms, translate and photocopy, but not file a visa or a work permit. Before you hand over a passport, ask which licensed Amer or Tasheel counter will submit the file, and ask for the government fee and the shop's charge as separate figures.
Nearby areas
Al Barsha has the Al Barsha Mall Amer center and an Ejari trustee. Sheikh Zayed Road has two GDRFA sections for harder cases. Business Bay has more Amer and Tasheel counters.
