Dubai has started issuing establishment cards to countries participating in Expo 2020, and Belgium is the first to receive it.
The electronic card is aimed at easing the entry and exit procedures of workers and officials representing each pavilion.
It’s linked to a smart platform that provides easy access to visa documentation and all other government services.
