According to a statement issued by VFS Global, a global visa outsourcing company that accommodates the Wafi Centre in Dubai, the visa centre will only complete outstanding visa applications.
The centre will not entertain new visa applications for now.

This measures include sanitisation, wearing gloves, wearing face masks and practice of social distancing.
All customers will undergo body temperature checks at the centre’s entrance to check their health conditions. Any customer that exhibits the symptoms of COVID-19 will be denied entry to the centre and will be asked to come back when his/her health situation improves.
