How to get a travel report / Entry Exit report / Exit Certificate from UAE Immigration Department

What is a travel report?

A travel report also goes by a few other names, like:

- Entry/Exit report

- Entry/Exit certificate

- Movement report

The report is issued by an immigration authority and shows the exit and entry dates and locations (ports of entry or exit), the applicant’s passport number and other immigration related details.

In the UAE, the report will be issued either by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA), or, in case of Dubai visas, by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).

There are two types of travel reports.

One is the overall travel report and the other is the last trip information. Also, the cost of the travel report for a person on a family visa and an employee on a company visa is slightly different.

TWO TYPES OF TRAVEL REPORTS:

1. Single Entry/ Exit Travel Report: This only shows the last trip’s information for the applicant.

2. Detailed or Overall Entry/ Exit Passenger Report: This reflects the full history of entry/exit status for the applicant.
