2. Apply for a 6-Month Visa First
Since the email from the Customer Happiness Center mentioned that you must be inside the UAE for the nomination request, you may need to:
- Apply for a 6-month multiple-entry visa to enter the UAE and complete the steps.
- Once you enter the UAE with this visa, a Unified Number (UID) will be generated as part of the visa process.
- After obtaining the UID, you can proceed with the nomination request.

- Provide them with a detailed explanation of your situation and request a resolution.
4. Reach Out Through Official Communication Channels

Summary Solution
- Check if a UID exists through the ICA portal.
- If not, apply for a 6-month visa to enter the UAE and obtain a UID.
- If entering the UAE isn’t feasible, contact ICA or GDRFA to see if the nomination request can proceed without a UID.
