DXB can clear your passport in about 12 seconds
Click and Travel launched today. An officer with a handheld — not a magic visa. Smart gates stay.
GDRFA Dubai switched on Click and Travel on 7 September 2026. A passport officer comes to you with a small device: face, iris or fingerprint, plus an electronic passport read. The transaction is about 12 to 15 seconds.
- For UAE, GCC, residents and visitors — in and out
- Trial already did 31,373 people (May–August 2026)
- Does not replace smart gates or the Red Carpet corridor
- Peak hours can still queue. Follow the signs.
- A 12-second stamp is not a work visa
After the check, departing passengers go to security. Arrivals go to bags and customs. Terminal 1 and 3 sit on the Red Line metro. Buy a Silver NOL.
Confirm live instructions on the GDRFA / airport screens. We do not sell visas.
