Refund and Returns Policy
Cancellation &
Refund Policy
We believe in complete transparency. This policy outlines the terms and conditions governing work cancellations and refund eligibility for all services processed through government portals on your behalf.
Policy Overview
This cancellation and refund policy applies to all government-related services submitted through MOHRE, GDRFA, DED, and any other government portal on behalf of the customer.
Scope of This Policy
This policy governs all transactions processed by UID Business Services operating as Tas-heel Center & Taw-jeeh Hall (tas-heelcenter.ae). It covers service requests submitted to, but not limited to, the following government portals:
- MOHRE — Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation
- GDRFA — General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs
- DED / DET — Department of Economy and Tourism (Trade Licence)
- ICP — Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security
- FTA — Federal Tax Authority (Corporate Tax & VAT)
- Any other UAE government portal used to process your application
Cancellation of Submitted Applications
Once an application has been submitted to a government portal, the following rules apply.
Portal-Based Refund Principle
Once work has been applied on any government portal — including MOHRE, GDRFA, DED, or any other government entity — and the customer subsequently requests to cancel the application and no longer requires the service to be completed:
- The refund amount shall be strictly based on the portal's own refund policy.
- Whatever amount is refunded by the respective government portal (MOHRE, GDRFA, DED, etc.) will be returned to the customer in full.
- UID Business Services' own service/typing charges for work already performed are non-refundable once the application has been submitted to the portal.
- If the government portal issues zero (0) refund for a cancelled application, no government fee refund can be provided to the customer.
Approved Applications —
Non-Refundable
Applications that have been approved by the government portal are generally not eligible for refund.
No Refund After Approval
If an application has been submitted to and approved by the respective government authority, in most cases the application cannot be reversed and therefore no refund request can be processed. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Visa applications that have been approved and entry permits issued
- Trade licence applications approved by DED/DET
- Emirates ID applications processed and approved by ICP
- MOHRE work permits that have been approved and issued
- Medical fitness tests completed and results issued
- Tax registration certificates issued by FTA
- Any other government transaction where the final output has been delivered
| Application Status | Government Fee Refund | Service Charge Refund |
|---|---|---|
| Not yet submitted to portal | Full Refund | Full Refund |
| Submitted — Pending approval | Portal-based refund only | Non-refundable |
| Approved by government | Non-refundable | Non-refundable |
| Warranty Deposit (held) | Refundable — see Section 4 | N/A |
| Family Visa Holding Deposit | Refundable within 60 days — see Section 5 | N/A |
Warranty Deposit
Refund
Government warranty deposits are refundable upon completion or cancellation of the related application.
Warranty / Guarantee Deposit Policy
Certain government applications require a warranty deposit (also referred to as a guarantee deposit) to be paid at the time of submission. These deposits are held by the government department and are eligible for refund under the following conditions:
- The refund will be processed at the end of the application or once the related transaction is finished / completed, as specified on the department receipt.
- The customer must provide a valid IBAN (bank account number) for the refund transfer.
- The refund will be credited to the same IBAN registered under the customer's name.
- The refund amount and timeline are as mentioned on the original receipt issued by the government department at the time of deposit.
- UID Business Services will facilitate the refund request on behalf of the customer, but the actual processing timeline depends on the government department.
Family Visa Holding —
60-Day Refund Window
Family visa holding deposits have a strict 60-day refund window. All related actions must be completed within this period.
Family Visa Holding Deposit — Terms & Conditions
When a family visa application is placed on hold, a holding deposit is collected. The customer may request to unhold the application and receive a refund of the deposit, subject to the following conditions:
- The customer must request the unhold and refund within 60 days from the date the application was placed on hold.
- All related applications and processes must be completed within this 60-day window.
- The refund will be credited to the same IBAN (bank account) provided by the customer.
- After the 60-day period expires, the holding deposit may no longer be eligible for refund, as per government department rules.
- The refund timeline is subject to the government department's processing schedule.
Within 60 Days
✓ Eligible for Refund
Request unhold + provide IBAN → Refund processed to your bank account.
All applications related to the holding must be completed within this window.
After 60 Days
✗ Not Eligible for Refund
The deposit may be forfeited per government department rules.
UID Business Services cannot override government holding policies.
Service & Typing
Charges
UID Business Services' own fees for typing, translation, and processing work.
Non-Refundable Service Charges
UID Business Services charges a service fee for processing, typing, translation, and administrative work performed on behalf of the customer. These charges cover the labour and expertise involved in preparing and submitting applications.
- Before portal submission: If you cancel before we submit to any government portal, both service charges and government fees are fully refundable.
- After portal submission: Service and typing charges are non-refundable, as the work has already been completed and submitted.
- After approval: No refunds will be issued for any fees — government or service charges.
