Embassies and consulates represent your nationality in the UAE. If you are an Indian citizen, you will need to go to your embassy or consulate once in your lifetime. Some expats skip the process of talking to their embassies for the reason that (1) they don’t know any information about the embassy, (2) they are having problems contacting the authorities, and (3) they don’t want to go through the hassle of traveling. However, if you are an expat in the country, you should know that embassies are a big help especially if you are dealing with issues regarding your employment and residency in the country.
