Consular Services in Al ain ( from ISC Al Ain Web site)

For the past several decades, ISC Al Ain provides consular services to the residents of Al Ain. The service is highly beneficial for people residing in this area, who otherwise have to travel almost 180 km to the capital city to avail such services. The service is offered every Friday from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm. A team of Indian embassy officials come to the Centre to provide this valuable services to the Indian community. The fact that the service is offered on Fridays, makes it very useful for people working in the outskirts of the city, who gets only one weekly off day. Since regular passport related services are outsourced by the Indian missions, all over the world, the embassy team visiting every Friday handles only special cases like attestation of important documents.
In addition to the weekly service, regular passport services are available six days of the week through the service provider, BLS, operating in the ISC premises.
Working hours for passport related services offered by BLS are: 8:00 to 1:00 in the morning hours and 4:00 to 5:30 in the evening hours. For enquiries, please contact Mr. Praveen Kumar (tel 055 7040 126).

When you Travel to Oman Through Al Ain.


for exiting to Oman from UAE
  • UAE Immigration charges are 35 AED per person on all borders .
  • 50 AED or 5 Oman Riyals at Oman Border per person. Update ( 1st of June 2012 ) ; Now in Oman border for  payments electronic card is a must. ie credit card or debit card. I traveled to Sohar through Wadi Al Jizzi border (After passing  Khatam Al Shikla Border(UAE- Al Ain)  ) on 1st of June 2012
  • you car requires Oman geographical coverage with insurance package or you can buy it on border post. 
  • Normally there is no problem to cross Oman border even if your  have loan / financed to UAE Financial Companies or banks. It looks like now you need an NOC from bank to cross Oman Border(Update Jan 2016).
  • Should have Original passport with valid UAE residence visa.
  • But if you are expatriate and  in a visa sponsorship by husband / Father / Son (by first degree Relations), you should be accompanied by the sponsor.( I had experience of returning back from  UAE border while My aunt with her son's sponsorship was not allowed to cross border without sponsor)
  • If you are traveling as bachelor some times Oman immigration will check your designation. 
  • Hatta you need to pay for exit ( Hatta border is not  for expats , noe limited for GCC Nationals) You need to travel to Khadhamat Maleiha Border in Kalba, if you are from Dubai and Northern Emirates.
