Ditto on my renewal

They claim it's is 'streamlining' so I guess in someone's dictionary that's another term for 'money making racket'.

Talking of Residency.... has everyone got their emirates ID ? I still need to get mine but with my visa expiring in Feb im not sure if its worth it. Is it true that they might cut or fine your DEWA bills if you dont have an ID card ?
