How can I return to the UAE if I lost my passport while out of country with my visa on it?

Dear User,

If you have lost your passport out of the UAE with your residency visa on it, you are required to apply for a new entry permit to be able to re-enter the UAE in the country that has issued your new passport.

The request will be processed in the consular section of the UAE embassy in India. It will be required to provide them with documents such as Emirates ID, a letter from the partner, a sponsor confirming your work, a copy of your old visa, an old passport copy and a new passport, and so on.

You can check with the UAE embassy in India for the exact list of documents.

You must complete the data of the form prepared to prevent the use of the lost passport by another person.

A replacement passport will be issued upon your request. If you lose your passport outside the country, you must go to the diplomatic or consular missions of the UAE embassy abroad and notify them.

You must submit documents proving your identity and recruitment position or a copy of the lost passport and a new visa will be issued to you, but first, you have to make a police loss report.

Yes, it is possible to enter the United Arab Emirates with the new passport.
