“Stamping children’s passports” is an exceptional experience that enhances happiness at Dubai airports

Children visiting the country with their families participated in an exceptional experience, which consisted of stamping their passports themselves and completing entry procedures.

Parents and those accompanying the children, in the presence of the Director General of the General Administration of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, Lieutenant General Mohammed Al Marri, said, “Travel is stressful by nature, especially when it comes to entry and exit procedures from airports, but what we witnessed at Dubai Airport is an exceptional experience by all standards, as it has turned into a kind of… “It was a great opportunity for entertainment and greatly reduced the stress and tension that preceded arriving in Dubai.”

Lieutenant General Mohammed Al Marri followed the progress of work at Dubai Airports during an inspection tour during which he was accompanied by the Assistant Director General of the Air Ports Sector, Major General Talal Al Shanqeeti, and the Deputy Director of the Passport Control Department in Terminal 3, Major Jumaa bin Subaih.

During his tour, Al Marri was keen to ensure a comfortable and smooth travel experience for travelers.

He said that the passport officers at the three Dubai airports, and at the land and sea border crossings, are making a great effort to facilitate traveler procedures, noting their role in serving those arriving to the country, especially through Dubai Airport, which represents the most attractive front of the emirate.

During the tour, Al Marri was keen to share with the children the experience of stamping passports through their passport platform, noting the role of management partners at Dubai Airports, and the importance of cooperation and coordination to achieve the highest levels of service, within the framework of one team that serves the country and the emirate.

In turn, travelers expressed their happiness with the experience of stamping passports at Dubai Airport, noting that it is exceptional by all standards, and greatly relieves stress after hours of flying.

They pointed out that allowing their children to stamp passports themselves represents a unique initiative from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, as they usually receive different treatment at other airports, but they were surprised by a warm reception and wonderful treatment from the employees who helped their children complete the procedures.

It is noteworthy that “Dubai Residency” launched children’s platforms in April of last year to allow thousands of children to go through this experience for themselves, with the aim of establishing a favorable image of the emirate in their memories, and enhancing a state of trust and warmth with them.

The platforms set up in the arrivals hall of Terminal 3 were designated for children from four to 12 years old, and they were given the opportunity to stamp their passports themselves through specialized supervisors and experts in the field of dealing with children from the passport officers, who were in charge of communicating with them and answering their inquiries.

More than 10,000 children participated in the experiment during the first two months of its launch.
