On 8 July 2026 senior officials from Jordan’s embassy in Abu Dhabi met with the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) at the agency’s headquarters in Khalifa City. Led by Ambassador Majed Thalji Salem Al Qatarneh and received by Major-General Suhail Juma Al Khaili, Acting Director General of Citizenship, the two sides explored ways to simplify immigration formalities for citizens of both countries. According to the ICP read-out, talks centred on accelerating entry-permit approvals, reducing document-verification bottlenecks and expanding use of ICP’s smart-services platform for Jordanian nationals.

For organisations and individuals preparing to leverage these streamlining efforts, VisaHQ can act as a one-stop resource for UAE visa processing. The company provides real-time guidance on entry permits, residency categories and document authentication, and can submit applications directly through the ICP’s digital channels—visit to learn more.
The delegation also reviewed UAE residency categories—including Golden, Blue and Green visas—to identify pathways that could benefit Jordanian investors and skilled professionals. For multinational companies that rotate staff between Amman and the UAE’s free-zones, the dialogue signals potential shorter processing timelines and clearer document check-lists, especially for dependent family visas. Mobility teams should monitor upcoming joint-guidelines, which ICP officials said would be published once technical working groups complete alignment of security-screening protocols. The visit underscores the UAE’s ongoing strategy of bilateral visa facilitation, complementing recent eligibility expansions for six additional nationalities announced in June. While no immediate rule changes take effect, HR and global-mobility managers should anticipate pilot e-visa features for Jordanian applicants later this quarter and consider pre-registering corporate sponsors on ICP’s digital portal to take advantage of any fast-track schemes.
