Consulates and embassies in Dubai

This section brings together the consulates general and diplomatic missions of various countries operating in Dubai and the Emirates: Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India, the USA and others. People come here for passports, visas, citizenship, notarial acts and civil registration. Most of these offices are located in Dubai's business districts, and almost everywhere visits are by prior appointment.

The most common reasons to visit a consulate are to issue or renew a passport, certify a power of attorney or a consent, place an apostille on a document, register a birth or marriage, and get help when a document is lost. A separate category is emergencies: a lost passport, detention, hospitalization or other extraordinary situations where a citizen needs protection abroad.

Today many services are partly online: booking an appointment, filling in forms and making payments can often be done via official portals and consulate websites. Before visiting, it is worth checking the current address, working hours and the list of required documents on the relevant mission's website, since schedules and requirements change from time to time.
