Expatriates applying for family visas can now attend the interview with the Recruitment Committee at the Ministry of Interior through video conference from the Mesaimeer Service Center.

The General Directorate of Nationality, Borders and Expatriate Affairs at the Ministry launched the new service yesterday.

Earlier, the applicants had to attend the interviews at the headquarters of the general directorate in Medinat Khalifa.The recruitment committee is responsible for approving family visa applications.

The service is provided through a live broadcast from a special room set up for interviews at the Mesaimeer Service Center where the screen is connected to the Recruitment Committee at the headquarters of the General Directorate. The committee can seek all required documents from the applicant directly, said a ministry statement yesterday.

The online service aims to help the public attend the interviews from the Ministry of Interior service centres close to their localities. The service at Mesaimeer represents the first phase of the project and it will be expanded to other service centres later, said the ministry.

Brig Abdullah Salim Al Ali, Director General of General Directorate of Nationality, Borders and Expatriate Affairs said that the new service aims to save time and effort for the beneficiaries by allowing them to attend the interviews through video conference from the same place where they submitted the application. He added that the new service is part of the Ministry’s plans to build an integrated electronic system for all services.
