Consulate General of the USA
The Consulate General of the USA in Dubai provides services to citizens of the country (passports, notarial services, emergency assistance) and issues visas for entry to the USA.
More
The consulate works in two main areas: services for US citizens (American Citizen Services) and the issuance of US visas. For US citizens, it helps with issuing and renewing passports, notarial acts, registering the birth of children abroad, and emergency assistance in case of arrest, loss of documents, or other critical situations. These services are provided strictly by prior appointment through the system on the embassy's website; in emergencies there is a 24-hour phone line, and access to the consular section is granted only to those with a confirmed appointment.
As for visas for entry to the USA, residents of the UAE apply for a non-immigrant visa themselves: they complete the DS-160 form online, pay the fee, and book an interview through the official visa portal. New interview slots usually open on Friday mornings, so it is worth checking the system regularly. For the interview, bring an international passport, the appointment confirmation, a photo, and documents justifying the purpose of the trip; always check the exact requirements on the embassy's website. The consulate is located in the Umm Hurair area (Bur Dubai), on Al Seef Street by Dubai Creek.
