Dear Sir
I’m fully vaccinated. I have abu dhabi visa. But ICA still showing red. Please help for Green Signal
Dear Sir,
My status is showing red in ICA entry approval. I have tried everything that I came to know to get it into green.
I contacted the Federal Authority For Identity And Citizenship,
I contacted the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs through 600522222.
I visited immigration office in Abu Dhabi.
I registered through a complaint ticket.
I contacted every office via email.
But still after some many efforts my status is still red. It has been red for the last 5 months. I don’t know the reason behind the red status.
I had taken both doses of Covid vaccination in UAE.
My visa is also professional Civil Engineer.
I am presently in the UAE.
Every week I have a PCR test.
Request you to please update me why my status is red and what shall I do to convert it into green. As I am now totally exhausted by contacting everyone and no one is helping in solving my issue. Next Month I have to go to India but I am not able to book my tickets due to this red status as all airlines are saying if it will not be green I cannot board back to the UAE.
Dear Rahul,
i had sent one of my local friend to ICA office, they told him apply online.
so it means they even do not have any idea what is happening.
im red for the last one year.
here no one knows what to do…….
