Dubai launches M-Visa: mobile phone barcode visas

The Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD) on Sunday unveiled several new technological advances in customer services, including a system that allows people entering the emirate to use a barcode sent to their mobile phone.

The mobile visa service, 'M-Visa', allows people to receive all types of entry visa permits via email and text messages in a form of a barcode, which can then be scanned directly off a mobile phone upon arrival in the UAE, the DNRD said.
