Immigration Department Launches E-Services In Dubai
Earlier this month
the Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD) reported
the launch of its Internet e-services, which means entry and residency
applications and payment of charges can be made online. Colonel Saeed bin
Bleilah, director of DNRD, is quoted as saying: 'Through utilising
this technology we have been able to update the administrative
systems to eliminate routine paperwork, and our employees have
started working more efficiently.' The e-government
initiative was established by General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and UAE Defence Minister, under
which all government departments must meet e-government requirements
by October 2001. Dubai is doing well
in the e-commerce stakes and this latest move marks the Dubai
government's determination to turn the jurisdiction into the Middle
East's e-commerce hub. October 2000 saw a key development in this
area - the establishment of Dubai Internet City (DIC), a free
zone for e-commerce. .
