The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched the “Emirati Traveler Services Card,” providing a comprehensive suite of services in a single step. This initiative aligns with the ministry’s strategic plans that prioritize the needs of UAE citizens, especially when they are abroad. The card aims to streamline services and enhance the travel experience for Emiratis, ensuring they have access to essential resources while traveling.
Comprehensive Features of the Card
The “Emirati Traveler Services Card” includes the “Tawajudi” service, which allows individuals and their families to pre-register for essential assistance. This service is invaluable in cases of lost, damaged, or expired passports, enabling travelers to obtain a return document within just 30 minutes. Additionally, it is particularly beneficial for parents needing quick resolutions for newborn children.
Interactive Travel Guidance
The card also features an interactive travel guidance page tailored to each destination. This page updates in real time, offering travelers the latest information and instructions they may require while venturing outside the country. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also included an emergency contact number—+971 800 24—specifically for UAE citizens traveling abroad, ensuring they can reach out for help whenever needed.
Accessibility and Convenience
Travelers can obtain the Emirati Traveler Services Card at Abu Dhabi International Airport and Dubai International Airport during holiday seasons. This feature enhances the travel experience by allowing quick access to all services at any time, thereby promoting a hassle-free journey for Emirati citizens.
With the introduction of the “Emirati Traveler Services Card,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirms its commitment to prioritizing the welfare of its citizens while they explore the world, making it easier than ever for them to travel with confidence and ease.
