ABU DHABI RESIDENCY

Helping you call Abu Dhabi home!

Our channel partnership with the Abu Dhabi Residents Office (ADRO) supports the emirate’s thriving international community. The office is dedicated to helping new residents settle into Abu Dhabi and supporting the integration and harmonisation of the international community with the local culture and society. This promise drives the office’s mandate to provide smart services for visa applications and enquiries, guides for residents, as well as active research and engagement programmes that promote life in the emirate. The office also advocates for international residents and actively contribute to shaping policies that improve the quality of life for everyone in Abu Dhabi, now and in the future.
