Complete blood test and chest X-ray at a DHA Smart Salem centre in Dubai, followed by biometric fingerprint capture for your Emirates ID.
Your physical Emirates ID unlocks everything in Dubai. Immediately activate the UAE Pass app for legally binding digital signatures.
Convert any tourist SIM into a resident postpaid/prepaid line linked to your Emirates ID so UAE banks deliver OTP codes reliably.
Sign a RERA unified tenancy contract (or title deed), document AC/plumbing condition, and register Ejari via Dubai REST.
