Travellers passing through Hatta border along the Oman-UAE route during the coming holidays season will experience easier crossing over due to a new system put in place to ease up the checking procedure, assures Major-General Mohammad Ahmad Al Marri, director of Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD).

As a result of mutual collaboration between the two countries, Oman and the UAE, DNRD recently implemented a one-stop system at Hatta crossing called e-border which connects two countries through high security electronic network, part of UAE’s overall project to facilitate crossing with the neighbouring countries.

The new system in place has reduced considerable waiting time as well as paper work. Hatta border crossers reach 180,000 per month.
