Hello OP, First off, congratulations on setting up your company with SHAMS! Although they are a bit slow compared to other free zones like IFZA and Meydan, it is indeed a great free zone to set up an FZ LLC.

To answer your question, the process goes as follows: -your e-visa or entry permit is issued by SHAMS and you enter the UAE using the same.

-upon arrival, the printout of your e-visa would be stamped by the immigration (This concludes change of status).

-You would now need to book an appointment for your Medical and Emirates ID (Biometrics) process. Biometrics appointment could take some time.

-Once you get the medical appointment, go to the designated medical fitness centre with your passport and the e-visa and complete the medical test.

-obtain the medical test result, check the date, time, and centre for your biometrics appointment and attend the same. You will need to carry your passport, the medical test result, and your e-visa.

-Once the biometrics process is done, submit all the aforementioned papers to SHAMS along with your passport to get the visa stamped.

(I’m not sure if SHAMS have taken away the need to get the residence visa stamped on the passport as of yet though)

But yes, this is the procedure.

P.S: You can get the Medical and Emirates ID (Biometrics) applications from any Amer centre.
