Amer Al Barsha (2026): The 3 GDRFA-Listed Amer Centres in Al Barsha 1, Al Barsha 2 and Al Barsha Mall — Locations, Phones, Timings, Services and the 100% Online Alternative

Amer Al Barsha is not one office but three GDRFA-listed Amer centres in Al Barsha (البرشاء), Dubai: NYPD Typing in Al Barsha 1, a centre on the first floor of Al Barsha Mall, and EGSH Investments LLC in Al Barsha 2. All three type and submit GDRFA visa applications — family visas, renewals, cancellations, entry permits and more. This guide gives each centre's official name, GDRFA location, phone number and map pin, explains what to bring and what still needs you in person, and shows how residents of Al Barsha, Umm Suqeim and Barsha Heights can get most visa tasks done online without visiting any centre.

🔎 Which centre is "Amer Al Barsha"?

Most people mean NYPD Typing, the centre whose email domain is ameralbarsha.com. Khaleej Times reported in 2017 that Dubai's fourth Amer centre had opened in Al Barsha. On its GDRFA listing the location label reads "Bur Dubai – Umm Suqeim", but the GDRFA map pin sits in Al Barsha 1 — which is why searches for amer umm suqeim and amer al barsha lead to the same place. Two more Amer centres are listed by GDRFA nearby: one in Al Barsha Mall and one in Al Barsha 2.

Whatever you typed — amer center barsha, amer barsha, amer service al barsha or amer center umm suqeim — these three are the Amer centres GDRFA lists for this part of Dubai. GDRFA writes "Bur Dubai –" in front of many locations; that only means the side of the Creek, not the Bur Dubai district.

🏢 Where are the Amer centres in Al Barsha? All 3 with phones and map pins

As printed on each centre's GDRFA page (seen 15 October 2026); map links open the GDRFA pin in Google Maps.

What is NYPD Typing in Al Barsha 1?

The centre most people call Amer Al Barsha. GDRFA's text says Umm Suqeim, so follow the map pin, not the label, and call 04 344 9994 to confirm the entrance before you drive over.

Where exactly is EGSH Investments LLC?

GDRFA lists it in Al Barsha 2, with a map pin close to the NYPD Typing pin. Some older web pages describe it as being in Barsha Heights (Tecom); GDRFA's listing is the reference, so use the pin and call 055 500 7728 if you cannot find the entrance.

🛍️ Is there an Amer centre in Al Barsha Mall?

Yes. The Amer Al Barsha Mall centre is listed by GDRFA as Al Quoz Government Transactions Center — Al Barsha 2, Al Barsha Mall, 1st Floor, shop F28, Gate 2. Despite the "Al Quoz" in its trade name, it is in Al Barsha, not Al Quoz. If you searched for amer barsha mall, amer al barsha mall or amer center al barsha mall, this is the one.

Why choose the Al Barsha Mall Amer centre?

🏘️ I live in Umm Suqeim or Barsha Heights — which Amer centre should I use?

GDRFA lists no separate Amer centre in Barsha Heights, and the only "Umm Suqeim" label belongs to NYPD Typing, whose pin is in Al Barsha 1. So residents of Umm Suqeim, Barsha Heights (Tecom), Al Barsha South and Al Barsha 3 normally use one of the three Al Barsha centres. Nearby alternatives listed by GDRFA include Amer centres in Al Quoz — for example Bab Alfalah Documents Clearing Services and Digital Future Government Transactions Center at Gold & Diamond Park — and the centre covered in our Amer centre Ibn Battuta guide for the Jebel Ali side.

Is there a GDRFA office near Al Barsha?

Yes — GDRFA's own Al Manara centre in the Al Manara Municipality Building on Sheikh Zayed Road. It is a GDRFA centre, not an Amer centre, and handles cases an Amer typist cannot. GDRFA lists it as open Monday to Thursday 7:30 am to 7 pm and Friday 7:30 am to 12 pm and 2:30 pm to 7 pm (phone 04 707 5967).

🕗 What are the Amer Al Barsha timings?

GDRFA does not publish opening hours for individual Amer centres — its pages list only the location, phone and map pin. Amer centres usually open about 8 am to 8 pm, Monday to Saturday; some open on Sunday or close for Friday prayers — call the centre on its GDRFA-listed number before you go. Mall-based centres may follow the mall's own hours.

Is any Amer centre near Al Barsha open 24 hours?

Not according to GDRFA. The only official 24/7 counter is GDRFA's own Customer Happiness Centre at DXB Terminal 3 Arrivals (a GDRFA centre, not an Amer centre). The Amer call centre 800 5111 (from abroad +971 4 313 9999) and GDRFA's online channels — the GDRFA website, the GDRFA DXB app and Dubai Now — run 24/7. Amer247 in Al Khabaisi, Deira advertises 24/7 itself; GDRFA does not list hours. See our 24-hour Amer options in Dubai.

When is the Amer centre in Al Barsha least busy?

Usually early in the morning on a weekday. Evenings, Saturdays, the days before public holidays and January–February (when many family visas come up for renewal) tend to be busier. Arrive with every document ready so one visit is enough.
