Dubai Silicon Oasis has no Amer center on the GDRFA list. The one DSO entry on any official list is Hi Sky Documents Clearing & Typing FZE, a MOHRE business services (Tasheel) center on Main Street, Nadd Hessa. For a visa you leave DSO: Tamaam Government Transactions Clearing, in Marhaba Mall, Ras Al Khor, is the nearest Amer center that publishes hours, Saturday to Thursday 08:45 to 22:00. Three more Amer centers are in International City, Warsan 1 and Ras Al Khor. Expect an Amer charge of about AED 100 to 300 per transaction on top of GDRFA fees.
What the cluster has, by place
| Place | Amer | Tasheel | Tadbeer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dubai Silicon Oasis | 0 | 1 (Hi Sky) | 0 |
| International City | 1 (Dawn) | 0 | 1 (Ozone, Dragon Mart) |
| Warsan 1 | 1 (Fast Track Vision) | 1 (M2000) | 0 |
| Ras Al Khor | 2 (Tamaam, Smart Nt S) | 1 (N T S Business Hub) | 2 (Habitat, Imdad) |
| Dubai Festival City | 0 | 1 (Ejad) | 0 |
That is 4 Amer, 4 Tasheel and 3 Tadbeer in total. There is no GDRFA customer happiness center and no Ejari trustee center in the cluster.
Amer centers for DSO residents
- Dawn Government Tansaction Center, International City. GDRFA files it under the old Deira sector, which is why its address reads "Deira, International City".
- Fast Track Vision Government Transactions, Warsan First. The Fast Track Vision group also has a MOHRE licence.
- Tamaam Government Transactions Clearing, Marhaba Mall, Ras Al Khor (GDRFA files it under Ras Al Khor Industrial 2). Saturday to Thursday 08:45 to 22:00.
- Smart Nt S Government Transaction Center, Ras Al Khor.
Each handles entry permits, residence visa issue, renewal and cancellation, status change and visit visas. Tamaam is the one with published hours, and its 22:00 closing makes it the evening option for DSO residents. The other three publish none, so check before you go. For a counter after 22:00, the 24 hour Amer center guide lists the two confirmed round-the-clock options.
Festival City: read the label carefully
The Festival City record is Ejad Businessmen Services, Al Kheeran, Dubai Festival City. MOHRE's own address text for it starts with "Amer Dubai Festival City", yet the licence on file is MOHRE's, and the center does not appear on the GDRFA Amer list. Ask before you take a visa file there.
Tasheel work in DSO
If your company sits in DSO and you need a work permit, labour contract or labour card, Hi Sky is the only listed counter inside the zone. Two more are close: M2000 Businessmen Services in Warsan 1, Farisi Cluster, and N T S Business Hub on Al Manama Street, Ras Al Khor Industrial Area 2. A MOHRE business services center can charge at most AED 72 per service above the federal fees. See all 82 on Tasheel centers near you.
When you need GDRFA itself
No GDRFA section is in this cluster. The closest is the Tawar Center Section in Al Twar 2, open Monday to Thursday 07:30 to 19:00, Friday 07:30 to 12:00 and 14:30 to 19:00; the Al Twar page has the address. GDRFA also lists a Public Services Section in Al Awir; confirm it takes your type of file before you go.
Choosing among the private shops
The list also has 87 private typing offices and 41 clearing offices across the cluster, many in International City and Warsan. They type forms for about AED 40 to 200 each, according to published price lists checked , but cannot submit a visa or a work permit. If one takes your papers, ask which licensed counter will file them.
Nearby areas
Mirdif has 5 Amer centers across Mirdif, Rashidiya and Nad Al Hamar. Garhoud has the GDRFA Airport Services Center at Terminal 3, one of only two confirmed 24/7 counters. For a renewal, check fees on visa renewal and your file on visa status check.
