Visa renewal in Sharjah — fast residency & work visa service.
Visa renewal in Sharjah typically takes 2–5 working days and starts from around AED 600 in government and service fees, depending on visa type. Al Qalam Typing handles the full renewal — medical, Emirates ID, and stamping — so you don’t have to queue.
Visa renewal in Sharjah can be stressful if you go it alone. Al Qalam Typing has guided residents and employees through the UAE visa renewal process since 2009 — handling every step from document preparation to final submission at ICA (Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security).
Standard processing takes 3–7 working days once all documents and medical results are ready. Urgent processing (1–2 days) is available for an additional fee.
If your visa has expired, you may face overstay fines of AED 25 per day. The fine must be paid as part of the renewal process. Do not delay — fines accumulate daily. Al Qalam can calculate your exact fine and process payment as part of the renewal.
Government fees for a standard 2-year residence visa renewal typically range from AED 500 to AED 1,500 depending on visa type. Medical and insurance costs are additional. Contact us for a complete quote.
