“HSC Delhi” is how people commonly type it. The name on the portal is HCSC Appointment System: that is the page title at visa.mofa.gov.ae, and the applicant page is headed “Applicant HCSC Appointment System”. The portal does not say what the letters stand for, so we do not expand them here.
The embassy’s visa page tells applicants to book an appointment before visiting the centre and gives two links:
The applicant page asks you to enter your Applicant Token Number and passport number to log in. It also carries an “I’m Sponsor” link that leads to the employer side. The embassy’s page mentions a “UAE Consular Section” mobile app on Google Play as well.
The appointment is for the New Delhi visa centre: Ground Floor, Ambience Commercial Complex (Ambience Tower), Vasant Kunj. It is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Visa centre contact, as shown on the embassy’s visa page: +91 11 3921 7666, [email protected].
This is not the embassy building. The UAE Embassy is at 12, Chandragupta Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110 021 (+91 11 2611 1111, [email protected]).
The embassy calls this arrangement “Exporting the Border”: applicants complete the whole visa issuance process in their home country. The same page lists a second centre at the Consulate General in Kerala (Thiruvananthapuram, +91 471 3388 888).
The embassy’s visa page is the place that names the visa centre, its address and its hours. Rely on that page, and confirm the details there before you travel, rather than on a name or address you were given elsewhere.
Document attestation is a separate UAE MOFA service with its own page. The HCSC appointment is for the visa centre visit, not for attesting a degree or a marriage certificate.

The embassy’s visa page does not number the steps. This order follows from what its “Employment visa process” section requires:
What happens after you arrive in the UAE is a separate set of steps, covered in our UAE employment visa process step-by-step guide.
After the employer initiates the application, the applicant presents these at the centre:
The embassy’s page warns that not providing any of these might cause delays in your application or possible refusal.
The list does not include an offer letter, degree certificates or a police clearance certificate. That does not mean nobody will ask for them: the same page lists an attestation fee for a police clearance certificate, and your employer may need other documents for the UAE side. Ask your employer what else to prepare.
The medical comes before the visa centre visit, because the GAMCA certificate is one of the five documents the centre asks for.
The embassy’s visa page says there is no need to visit the GAMCA office in Okhla. It tells applicants to book online at gcchmc.org: pay 10 dollars by card, generate the slip, and go to a medical centre in your city. The same page lists the approved medical centres by city. That address did not open when we checked on 30 September 2026, so confirm the current booking site with the visa centre (+91 11 3921 7666) before you pay anything.
Ask the medical centre which tests apply to you and how long the certificate stays valid. The embassy’s page does not state either.
The fees listed on the embassy’s visa page:
Payment is by debit or credit card with international payment facility. The page adds that the application fee relates to the centre’s service and does not cover all associated costs of any visa.
Courier: for applicants who did not receive their passport the same day, the centre offers a courier service with Blue Dart DHL. Courier timing is 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The offer letter is not on the visa centre’s list, but one rule about it is worth knowing. The official u.ae portal says that in January 2016 MOHRE approved a third language to be added to the job offer, the labour contract and its annexure, in addition to Arabic and English, to protect the rights of blue-collar workers.
The worker chooses the third language from a list of nine:
So if Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam or Urdu is your strongest reading language, you can ask for the offer in that language.
Most likely, yes. “HSC Delhi” is how people commonly type it. HCSC Appointment System is the name shown on the UAE MOFA appointment portal at visa.mofa.gov.ae. The portal does not say what the letters stand for, so this page does not expand them.
The applicant page at visa.mofa.gov.ae/Individual/Index.aspx asks for your Applicant Token Number and your passport number. Employers use the separate page at visa.mofa.gov.ae/Sponsor/Index.aspx.
No. It is for the UAE visa centre on the Ground Floor, Ambience Commercial Complex (Ambience Tower), Vasant Kunj, open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The embassy is at a different address: 12, Chandragupta Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110 021.
Five items, according to the embassy’s visa page: a passport valid for 6 months or more from your intended date of travel, the entry permit from your sponsor or employer, a medical test certificate from an approved GAMCA medical centre, a valid mobile number and your Aadhaar Card. The page warns that missing any of them might cause delays or possible refusal.
The embassy’s visa page lists the Work Visa at 250 dirhams or local equivalent, paid by debit or credit card with international payment facility. It lists separate attestation fees of 150 dirhams each for the GAMCA medical certificate and the Police Clearance Certificate.
The embassy’s visa page says to book online at gcchmc.org: you pay 10 dollars by card, generate the slip and go to a medical centre in your city, with no need to visit the GAMCA office in Okhla. That address did not open when we checked on 30 September 2026, so confirm the current booking site with the visa centre. Do the medical first: the certificate is one of the five documents the visa centre asks for.
The official u.ae portal says that in January 2016 MOHRE approved a third language for the job offer, labour contract and annexure, in addition to Arabic and English. The worker chooses it from nine: Bengali, Chinese, Dari, Hindi, Malayalam, Nepalese, Sinhalese, Tamil or Urdu. Five of those are widely spoken in India: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam and Urdu.
No. Document attestation is a separate UAE MOFA service with its own page at mofa.gov.ae/en/services/attestation. The HCSC appointment is for the visa centre visit.
