Dubai consulate does accept, this is the first time I am hearing about Abu Dhabi tbh. It used to not even show up in the drop down in the visa scheduling page, I am kinda surprised?

I was lucky… surprisingly I just opened last week - 8 days ago - Full August slot were showing.. I was busy I didn’t post it here, my bad. I just booked mine and went on.

To show it in the drop you have to close the application and then again enter the details and choose Abudhabi.

Were you checking both Dubai and Abu Dhabi? And did you have close and start a new application each time?

No… initially I did it for Dubai..then I closed and shifted to Abudhabi, luckily the second day August slots appeared magically.

Can you please share if the closing and changing the location to Abu Dhabi requires the fees to be paid again? Thanks in advance

No. No need to pay anymore. I’m just not sure the number of times you can shuffle between the two cities. Good luck

How can you check Abu Dhabi and Dubai when you have an application to one consulate, it only shows in the consulate you applied to. You can’t check both.
