Tamm Abu Dhabi App: Services for Expats 2026

Why expats in Abu Dhabi use Tamm in 2026

The Tamm app is the single digital window for Abu Dhabi government services. Most expats open it for visa renewals, traffic fines, and family permits instead of visiting multiple centres.

Most used services for expats

Residents check these tasks first: entry permit issuance and renewal, Emirates ID replacement, family visa sponsorship, traffic fine payment, and driving licence renewal. Each service shows real-time status and required documents.

• Entry permit: 300 AED for 60 days, extendable once.
• Emirates ID renewal: 100 AED for 5 years when done inside the app.
• Family visa: 300 AED per person plus 100 AED medical and 100 AED Emirates ID.
• Traffic fine payment: full amount or 50 percent if paid within 7 days of issuance.

How to pay inside Tamm

Open the service, review the breakdown, and choose Apple Pay, card, or linked bank account. A receipt is stored in the app and emailed within minutes. No cash or in-person counters are needed for these transactions.

Step-by-step workflow: entry permit renewal

1. Log in with UAE Pass. 2. Select Entry Permit, then Renew. 3. Upload passport scan and current visa. 4. Pay 300 AED. 5. Receive new permit PDF instantly and the stamped copy at VFS within 2 working days.

Common issues and fixes

If the app shows “document expired”, renew Emirates ID first, then retry. For rejected photos, retake with white background and no glasses. Status stuck longer than 5 days? Use the in-app chat with ICP Abu Dhabi; replies arrive same day.
