AI-assisted consular services now available at UAE Embassy in Seoul

The United Arab Emirates Embassy in Seoul is leading the way in utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for visa issuance and consular services. This innovative approach makes it the first embassy in the world to implement such technology.

Through the use of facial recognition and hologram technologies, UAE nationals and other applicants can now easily apply for visas and submit required documents through an AI-powered platform. This advancement is part of the UAE government’s “Smart Mission” project, aimed at improving consular services for its citizens abroad and streamlining emergency assistance processes.

One of the standout features of these AI-assisted services is the ability for applicants to communicate in real-time with an AI-powered hologram image. This hologram can provide instant responses to queries in multiple languages, including Arabic, English, and Korean, even in the absence of embassy staff.

By embracing AI technology, the UAE Embassy in Seoul is setting a new standard for consular services worldwide. This innovative approach not only improves efficiency but also enhances the overall experience for applicants seeking assistance from the embassy.
